The Mill Markets is quite close to our property. Its a massive second hand and all things collectible market that would take days to see it all. There are great deals to be had there. There is a fabulous cafe on site.
Walk from our place up Tablehill Rd and it joins into a trail network. The walk into town up the creek, by the lake is amazing. Directions: turn right at the driveway heading south. Walk all the way down the street and it turns into a dirt road down the hill. At the bottom of that turn left to follow the trail to the Lake or turn right and over the hwy to go to Tipperary Springs. If you turn left remember to bring empty water bottles with you so as to taste test the mineral water that you pump straight out of the ground. Not a long walk, maybe ½ to an hour depending on how fast you walk.

This gorgeous, hidden oasis was everything it promised to be. Thr rooms were so delightfully designed, the couches and hammocks simply inviting, the spa reviving. The walk to the Mill Markets was shor...t and fruitful. My friends and I would definitely recommend for couples or a group of friends, and we would definitely love to come back!
