Over the years, the Inn has accumulated more airline miles than it could possibly redeem on its own and is sharing them with its guests. Anyone who stays at the Inn from Sun, Aug 7 through Tue, Sep 6, 2011 at regularly published rates will be entered into our Miles from the Mill drawing.

The winner will receive two free airline tickets to any city in the lower 48 states serviced by American Airlines. Even if the response is strong, with only twelve rooms in play for only one month, these may be the best odds you'll see for a long time. Here's how the drawing will work...

• Guests are entered into the drawing once per room night stayed (i.e. 1 room for 1 night = 1 entry; 2 rooms for 2 nights = 4 entries; etc).
• Guests who stay on Enchanted Nights are entered into the drawing twice per room night stayed.

The lucky winner will be announced on Wednesday, September 14 via Streaming from the Mill, the Inn's monthly newsletter, and a week earlier on the Inn's Facebook and Twitter pages. There are no catches or tricks - only a few items of fine print...

• Per the airline, a modest ticketing fee is levied.
• Per the airline, blackout dates may apply.
• Miles must be redeemed by Dec 31, '12.
• Say "Miles from the Mill" when you call.

Call 615.269.3740 (nashville), 800.383.2349 (toll free) or 597.2088 (smithville) to learn more, make a reservation or sign up for our monthly e-newsletter.
