We love it here!

We visit Elkader a couple of times each year, and The Mill on Main is our favorite place to stay. The view is superb and the accommodations perfect.

Great Location in a Great Town

We stayed four nights with a 6 year old and 4 year old. Great location with excellent views of the river, falls and stone bridge. Algerian restaurant and Irish Pub nearby are both above average. A bakery and two other nearby breakfast spots as well. Nice walks throughout town and many places for day trips. Great place to stay in a great town.

Perfect place to stay

Love, love, love this place! The location is great, you walk out the door, and everything is right there. Parking was on the property. We stayed in Suite A, the river was flowing and the view was beautiful. Very clean and comfy! Will stay again!

What a beautiful place and view! Downtown was super cute and active. Lots of awesome trout fishing streams within 20-30 min drive. Room was very clean and nicely renovated. Loved all the windows and water view. Highly recommend it!

Beautiful location

The wall of windows makes this studio-style abode a delight when rising in the morning, with beautiful views of the Turkey River dam and keystone arch bridge.

Halloween weekend

Spent Halloween weekend in Elkader. Great accommodations and view of the Turkey River. Quiet and private. Hiked Effigy Mounds State Park, at Shera’s Algerian Restaurant, and visited the mall downtown. The latter two 2 minutes from our stay.

Excellent time at The Mill

We LOVE Elkader! Our stay was fantastic. I loved being centrally located in downtown, just a quick walk to everything. The weather was perfect so we could open the windows and hear the Turkey River all night long. Thank you so much, Nancy!

A fantastic hidden gem of a town

We were in town for a social event. What a great town. The property we stayed at was right in the middle of everything. Very clean space. Small town hospitality everywhere we went. I highly recommend this location.

Relaxing, cozy, and quiet

Suite A was perfect for our 1st getaway together. The room was very cozy in many ways. The lighting, the bed, all the windows looking out at the river made for a great, relaxing atmosphere to enjoy our time. We want to come back and try out the other suites as well!

Old Crow Opening

Room was awesome. Every thing I needed was in the room. All I had to do was show up. I loved falling asleep to the sound of the Turkey River. Joe and Nancy are the perfect hosts. They made me and the guests in the other rooms feel like old friends and family. I will definitely use again and recommend whole heartedly.

Good beer & fly fishing

This place is fantastic. It’s less then a minute walk from Debs Brewtopia & the pizza place is right across the street; no need to take any transportation. You will sleep well too. With the windows open it is like a natural sleep sound machine. All you can hear is the tranquil sound of the Turkey River just below. Fly fishing streams are in close driving distance(about 30 mins). Also caves to check out in the same area. Would stay here again for sure!
