End of Summer Hiking Trip for the Cullen Family

August 16, 2011

The Cullen family has taken off to Alaska for an end of the summer trip. It is a good thing, too. The last couple of days in Forks have been positively sparkling!

Forks is Gearing up for Stephenie Meyer's Day Weekend

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

The Cullen family are all out shopping for the perfect birthday gifts for Bella and the town of Forks is getting ready to embrace Twilight fans from all over the country and the world. Many activities are scheduled throughout the weekend. Be sure to catch the latest schedule on the Chamber of Commerce website at: www.forkswa.com

What is happening on the Olympic Penninsula

Thursday, July 15, 2010

The sun has been out and the Cullen's have been in to keep from sparkling!

Quileute Days is happening this weekend in La Push. We understand that the actor who portrayed Jacob's father will be in attendance. Should be a good time with their parade, traditional salmon bake and games.

Sequim is having its annual Lavender Festival this weekend. It is always popular.

Pocket Edward will be starting out on his northwest journey. Hopefully we will have a picture for you tomorrow.

Eclipse is Coming!!!!

Sunday, June 27, 2010

The Cullen family are eagerly anticipating the release of the latest movie in the Twilight saga. Eclipse will be in Theaters on June 30.

Here at the Cullen House, we are planning on having a special Eclipse breakfast on Tuesday morning before sending our guests out for the midnight release that night. And just in time, we received a shipment of Cullen House mugs, which we will sell exclusively to our guests at the Miller Tree Inn aka "The Cullen House."

Voltera!

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

Since the innkeepers are mere mortals working for the Cullen family, the Volturi, wanted to meet us. This was a scary experience, but we survived. Edward was also not excited to be here!

A Painting by Alice Cullen

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

On Sunday, we were surprised to find a painting done by Alice Cullen in the front room. It is a painting of James Island as seen from Rialto Beach. Alice must have dropped it off on her way through Forks. We were surprised and happy to find it and thank Alice for her thoughtfulness!

A Cullen - ary Vote!

Thursday, November 19, 2009

In honor of election season AND the premier of "New Moon", the guests of the Miller Tree Inn (aka Cullen House) get to vote for which team they belong to by eating cake! If you are a "Team Edward" fan, you get a white cupcake with creamy vanilla frosting. If you are a "Team Jacob" person, then you would take a dark chocolate cupcake with coconut frosting. If you just can't quite make up your mind, then "Team Switzerland" is for you. We have a layer cake with one layer of white cake and one of dark chocolate cake. It is frosted with both the creamy vanilla and the coconut frosting.

Bella's Birthday is Coming!

Saturday, September 5, 2009

Bella's birthday will be here next week, so the Cullen family have all gone off to get a birthday surprise. They are trying to keep it a secret, so don't tell anyone!

Twilight Decorating

Thursday, July 30, 2009

Our Twilight decorator, Star, was here last month and brought us a new couch. She also did some touches of Cullen family pictures, and other things that she thought Esme would do. Next month she hopes to be back with some window treatments and the graduation cap art. We'll publish a picture on the blog as soon as it is up. We are anxious to see it and to see where it will be hung.

The Innkeepers are off for a bit of R&R. They are going to Glacier Park to do a little scouting for the Cullen family! Our team of innsitters will be taking care of the B&B until Bill and Susan return.

Carlisle and Esme

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

Some of our guests couldn't decide on just one Cullen family member for their room, so they chose 2 names. We were happy to see that Carlisle and Esme were together!

The Cullens Celebrate Independence Day

July 6, 2009

The 4th of July was hot and sunny in Forks, so the Cullen family remained indoors until fireworks time. The rest of the town of Forks took in the parade, salmon BBQ, demolition derby and the fireworks. The fireworks sparkled just like the Cullens in the sunshine!

Which Cullen Does This Room Belong To?

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

At the Miller Tree Inn, we have signs with the names of the different Cullen family members so guests can decide who they think their room belongs to. It has been fun for all the guests to see what other people think and who their favorite character is. Can you guess who the most favorite Cullen is?

Was Edward at the Prom?

Sunday, May 3, 2009

The Forks High School students held their spring Prom last night. Stretch limos, and young men and women were all dressed up and seen around Forks. Unfortunately, Edward and the rest of the Cullen clan were NOT in attendance. The Prom was held on Quielute property, so it would have been against the treaty for them to go.

The Cullen House Innkeepers Have Returned

April 19, 2009

The Cullen House Innkeepers have finally returned from Florida. We missed seeing Bella's mother. She must have been on the road with the baseball team.

We had a wonderful time on our trip and our innsitters, Michelle, Cheryl and Mary did an outstanding job of taking care of the Cullen family's guests in our absence. We are sorry that we missed meeting so many of you, but know you were in good hands.

We just missed seeing the Cullen's, except for Alice. She spent most of yesterday on the front porch interacting with our many visitors. Though not raining, it was overcast, so she did not have to worry about sparkling! Alice left to join the rest of the family in South America this morning. They are all helping Carlisle with some medical research.

We have enjoyed reading all the comments sent while we were away and will be posting some pictures that some guests sent within the next few days.

One of the comments mentioned that this house does not match the one from the movie. Good observation. Our Cullen House, does more closely resemble the one described in the book, however. Many of the people that have visited Forks and fallen in love with this house were disappointed in the house used in the movie. We think that the house used in the Twilight movie was a very beautiful house with outstanding architecture. However, we are rather partial to our house and think it is more like the book.

Twilight Release Weekend Recap and Ta, ta, for Now!

March 23, 2009

There were about 600 people in downtown Forks at midnight on Friday evening for the DVD release party. Everyone enjoyed the wolf dance by the Quielutes and all were excited to get their DVDs.

We had every kind of weather imaginable over the weekend, from pouring down rain Friday to beautiful and sunny on Saturday, to snow and hail on Sunday. There was something for everyone, vampires included! All in all, we think it was a great success and look forward to New Moon coming out. It is being filmed in the Vancouver, BC area right now!

The Cullen family is sending their resident innkeepers on vacation until mid-April, so there will not be any blog entries in their absence. Look for them again after the middle of the month. In the absence of the innkeepers, Cheryl, Michelle and Mary, our innsitters will be taking care of the overnight guests at the Cullen House. They have all worked here numerous times before and know the area well, and are able to answer the questions of our "Twilight" fans. Please come visit them. We wouldn't want them to be lonesome. After all, the Cullens are away a lot!

Eward says, "Got Blood?"

February 20, 2009

All members of the Cullen family have been volunteering at their local blood bank this week. In fact, some of the folks from the blood bank stopped by to say thank you. We at the Miller Tree Inn (the Cullen House) would like to take this opportunity to encourage all that are able to give blood during local blood drives to do so. If you are not able to give blood, perhaps you can volunteer to help at a local blood drive. Your efforts could help save a life.

New at the Cullen House - aka Miller Tree Inn

February 8, 2009

We just finished making a set of signs for each room. We put the name of one of the members of Cullen family on each sign (ie, Edward's Room, Esme's Room, Alice's Room, etc.) Now our guests can decide whose room they are in for the night and hang the appropriate sign on the room door. It was fun to look down the hall this morning and see what our guests thought. Last night we had signs out of Edward, Alice and Carlisle.

The Elk Are Back!

February 7, 2009

The elk must have known that the bright sunshine would drive the Cullen family away, as they were across the street this morning munching on the grass at the Forks Community Center. Edward and the rest of the Cullen's have gone in search of the perfect Valentine for each of their sweethearts. Isn't it romantic?

Edward At the Front Window

Edward is at the front window of the Cullen House staring out toward the driveway. He looks really cute in the Santa hat with his smouldering eyes!

The Cullen's Night Before Christmas

The Cullen's Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Not a Cullen was sleeping, except for one mouse.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
But since vampires are sleepless, Santa had to beware.

Alice and Jasper were playing a game.
Emmett and Rosalie took a walk in the rain.
Carlisle and Esme wrapped gifts for the poor,
And Edward sat waiting for Bella to snore.

When deep in the forest, they heard a loud "Thud!"
In a flash Alice knew that the sound was no good.
The Cullen's went running to see what was there.
What they found in the clearing caused them to despair.

Victoria was up to her old tricks again.
Santa had fallen; his sleigh was on end!
Victoria was lunging for the plump, jolly man,
Then Edward appeared to lend him a hand.

He jumped in between Victoria and St. Nick.
The others stepped forward, and she ran off quick.

Carlisle offered to check Santa out,
But Santa just smiled and called with a shout,
"Come Dasher and Dancer, get back to the sleigh.
Christmas Eve's almost over, we must be away."

The Cullen's helped Santa fix his sleigh up just right,
And off they all went into the dark night.
But they heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight,
"Thank you dear Cullen's. I'm glad you don't bite!"
