Johnson's Mill

This last weekend my husband and I stayed at my favorite bed and breakfast, Johnson's Mill in Midway, Utah.  It's the best place to get away from all of the winter blahs, especially the inversion!  I'm sure it's a fabulous place to stay any time of the year, but I ABSOLUTELY love Johnson's Mill in the winter!  If you are looking for a romantic getaway for Valentine's Day this year, I can't think of a better place to spend a romantic weekend.  

Historic Johnson's Mill is situated on 25 acres of pure heaven.  It's adjacent to a beautiful lake and surrounded by all kinds of grand old trees and plenty of wildlife.  You can even rent snowshoes and wander the grounds which are next to a 300 acre nature preserve. 

 

The mill itself is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, with lots of warm fireplaces, and ten rooms to choose from that you can view online. My husband and I have stayed in several of the rooms and they are all fantastic, but my absolute favorite is the Waterfall Terrace above a 40 foot cascading waterfall.  Pictures can't do this room justice.  The panoramic view from this sizeable room is incredible.  

The room comes complete with a comfy king size bed, fireplace, and jetted tub.  Johnson's Mill has a turn down service between 6 and 7 p.m.  You will be delighted to find delicious, chocolate truffles on your pillows.  If you want to watch a movie or get a snack, Johnson's Mill has a small library of DVD's to choose from near the entry, along with scrumptious cake or cookies that you can take back to your room.

If you're crazy enough to want to bring the whole family.  I'd recommend the Presidential Suite which is a lovely 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living room with a sofa bed.  It's every bit as romantic as the other rooms, just larger in scale. The view of the lake from this spacious apartment is definitely breathtaking!  

Breakfast at Johnson's Mill is always yummy!  This last week they served stuffed French Toast with lots of delicious berries!  It's the perfect winter breakfast with a few slices of bacon, orange juice, and a mug of hot chocolate.  The view from the dining area is also wonderful and you can often see wildlife as you savor your breakfast.  Check-out isn't until eleven and so there is plenty of time after breakfast to snuggle up with your honey or wander the grounds and take lots of pictures. I definitely love this bed and breakfast!  If you are looking for a cozy place, close to nature, to spend a romantic time with your loved one, there is definitely no better place in Utah than Johnson's Mill, especially in the winter months!  I will go back time and time again!
