The Miller Tree Inn AKA The Cullen House


The Miller Tree Inn AKA "The Cullen House"

     Hidden away in the reserved little town of Forks, Washington is a gem of a B&B, The Miller Tree Inn. The home itself is over 100 years old and fits Stephenie Meyer's description of The Cullen House, with the exception that this home is located in town. That of course didn't matter once we stepped inside. Each room is decorated with Twilight memorabilia with the theme of each of the members of the Cullen family. It's a fun little game to guess who's room you are staying in. 
     The rooms themselves are spacious, with beautiful views and most importantly incredibly comfortable. While we are a bit spoiled in our travels and stay in some swanky hotels whenever we get the chance. There is just always something special about staying in that perfect B&B. When the house is warm and smells of fresh cooked meals. When the photos on the walls reflect memories and not just prints to impress. It makes you feel as if you are "home" with family. 
    The welcome we received from Bill and Susan was just as welcoming as a homecoming. They were very gracious in accommodating our requests. Unlike most vacationers we typically start our morning before breakfast is served. There is just too much adventure waiting for us! Expecting a simple cup of hot coffee, Bill and Susan, made sure we didn't leave without a proper hot breakfast. This turned out to be just what we needed for our walk out to the Hole in the Wall at Rialto Beach.
     Forks is the perfect place to delve into a Twilight Novel Adventure. The backstories of the town and how Stephenie Meyer's writings and the Twilight Saga changed the town are fascinating. With the story aside there is just so much more to Forks. It's a great location for some amazing hiking trails. Hoh Rainforest is just a short drive outside of town, as are amazingly beautiful beaches.

Andrea the Tree Hugger

That's me Andrea, of Novel Adventures  hugging a giant spruce in Hoh Rain Forest. I am in awe of just how big the trees were. This tree was one of the biggest that we saw but not the biggest in the park. While we did get a nice hike in, this tree is right off the road in and even has it's own parking spaces so anyone can make it to this tree. We visited the park on November 9, and it was a perfectly rainy day in the rain forest. About an hour outside of Forks, WA on a beautifully tree lined drive. 
I have been blessed and fortunate to be able to travel and am amazed at the things I see on every trip. I have only been back since yesterday afternoon and am already booking my next flight. Novel Adventures will be attending the Thru the Stones Convention in the Quad City. We'll see you there!
