A month before I stayed at The Woodstock Inn on the Millstream, I did some thorough research. I spoke to the owner who provided information about the room layouts and the availability during a popular time. She explained that the standard more affordable rooms were small and that if I wanted something larger and more comfortable, the deluxe rooms were the way to go. So I booked a deluxe room for later in August.
The first thing I noticed while arriving at the Inn was its convenient location to the charming Woodstock town. It was either a one minute drive from the town center or a five minute walk. The layout of Millstream is pretty standard. The parking is in the front, the standard rooms are on the right and the deluxe rooms to the left. If you walk all the way to the back there is a cute stream for all the inn guests to enjoy. It provides a nice peaceful atmosphere and is a perfect place to sit and relax.

Let’s talk about the deluxe room
The room was as expected and resembled the pictures online. It was spacious, with tall ceilings, a dinner table, small couch and a king size bed. The decor was tastefully done- providing a cabin in the woods feel. The bathroom was very nice- and I am a big bathroom guy. It was clean, spacious, had a large jacuzzi tub and a shower.

Rodent problem and patio furniture
In most cases I would have recommended Millstream to people, but sadly I can’t. The reason why I will not return is because they have a rodent problem. Every night there were mice in the room looking for food. I hate rodents and this doesn’t seem acceptable for the price they are charging for a deluxe room. When I called the owner and she admitted that they have mice issues, she only offered a bottle of wine. I think that I would have felt a bit better if she would have offered a room change or some sort of reimbursement. Instead, I was stuck dealing with the mice every night and when I finally left I found droppings next to my bags.
Another negative for me was the furniture of the private patio. The two mini chairs and small table were made out of cheap plastic and were uncomfortable to sit on. This made going out to the patio not as enjoyable as I had hoped. Some of the other deluxe rooms had nice metal furniture, leaving me confused as to why mine didn’t.
In conclusion
If rodents don’t really bother you or you don’t plan on using the outdoor space- then you’ll enjoy your experience. The deluxe rooms were charming and the jacuzzi tub definitely adds to the fun of the experience. In addition, the location was ideal. Unfortunately for me, the positives did not outweigh the negatives.
