Located just minutes away from the town square where all the fiddlin' and cloggin’ contests are held, Evins Mill is the perfect springboard for a weekend of bluegrass. It's also the ideal place to celebrate our Independence Day, with cookouts and patriotic favors for all.

Halloween Pumpkin Carving
Every Halloween, Evins Mill hosts its ever popular pumpkin carving contest.  Following lunch on Saturday, guests are given a plum pumpkin and tools to carve.  That evening, pumpkins are placed on display in the Main Lodge.  With the lights dim, the panoply of pumpkins provide a magical setting for dinner.  After the evening meal, guests vote on the best pumpkin.  The winner receives a complimentary Bed & Breakfast package at Evins Mill.

Celebrate your Thanksgiving at Evins Mill and allow our chefs to do the cooking this holiday. In addition to the fall colors and decorations, we'll treat you to a traditional Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings, as well as scenic hikes to Carmac Falls and tours of our historic gristmill. Or you may just want to park yourself in front of our large screen television and watch some college bowl games. Every other year or so, Evins Mill closes on Thanksgiving to give its staff time with their own families.

New Year's Eve
Tired of the same old New Year's parties in town? Then come to Evins Mill and usher in the New Year in an intimate but celebratory setting. Hearty hors d'oeuvres followed by a five-course dinner by candlelight and special turn-down service is just the way to ring in the new year. The next morning, enjoy a country gourmet feast, a guided tour and demonstration of our grist mill, a New Year's lunch, and football games galore.
