MILLSTONE TEA ROOM is located at 9058 Big Island Highway in Bedford, Virginia. While not technically in the City of Bedford, our address places us in the bucolic countryside of Bedford County 9 miles north on state route 122 (Big Island Highway). This road (122) winds south and further west (in the other direction) heading toward Smith Mountain Lake at the south end of Bedford City (Moneta Road); confusing the two will put travelers nearly one hour out of their way, so beware!
