Twilight
The Miller Tree Inn has been designated as the book-accurate Cullen House of Forks, Washington. Though the film’s representation of the vampire home is a modern treehouse found in Portland, our inn closely matches Stephenie Meyer‘s description of the Cullen family home right here in the town where the story is set.
Bella describes the Cullen House as a large, graceful house, rectangular and well-proportioned, that is probably a hundred years old and painted a faded white. The house is three stories tall and has a large porch. Inside is open, and she imagines the space must have once been several rooms that have since been opened into one large space. Similar to the book, you will also find Carlisle’s Office inside, and as a nod to the film, we also have a graduation cap replica in our front stairwell.
The Cullens travel from Washington frequently, so chances of seeing them are slim—but not zero—however, the innkeepers speak “Twilight” fluently and are under strict orders to take special care Carlisle & Esme’s overnight guests. A complete Forks Twilight experience must include some imagination and a stay at the Cullen House, especially since it’s located directly down the street from the Forever Twilight in Forks Collection, the world’s only Twilight museum.
The Miller Tree Inn is also home to many of the town’s Twilight events. Attending Forks’ Forever Twilight in Forks Festival is the only time The Cullens’ make their home available for tours and take the liberty of welcoming you themselves.

Twilight in ForksSummoned
Vampires aren’t the only supernatural residents you can find in Forks. In addition to being the home of the Cullens, the Miller Tree Inn is also known as the Cedar Creek Inn in The Summoned Series. The bed and breakfast is a longtime favorite of Summoned heroine, Hadley Weston. The Summoned Series is a fantasy book series written by the Miller Tree’s very own Mary Beth Thurman, also known as M.B. Thurman
In Summoned, Hadley Weston reunites with her handsome and enigmatic lover, Fitz MacGregor, and discovers an unbelievable truth: Fitz is a witch, and so is she.
As Hadley navigates a new world of magic and invasive government officials, she partners with Fitz to gain control over her powers and recover a long-lost MacGregor family artifact, a ring originating in the seventeenth century witch trials in Scotland with the potential to endanger all of witchkind. As they rekindle their romance, Hadley and Fitz must work together to find the ring before it falls into the wrong hands.
Fans of A Discovery of Witches and The Magicians will be swept away on a journey of love.. magic, and self-discovery in this love letter to travel and found family.
Miller Tree Inn transforms into Summoned’s Cedar Creek Inn numerous times a year—most notably on the front end of the Forever Twilight in Forks Festival —for events themed around Thurman’s characters.

M.B. Thurman
To you, she’s innkeeper Mary Beth, but to most, she’s author M.B. Thurman. Thurman traded her career as an executive assistant to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming an author. She spends her time writing and running and remodeling the notable Miller Tree Inn, of which she is the proud owner. Though her Southern roots run deep, Thurman has adapted to the lifestyle of the beautiful Pacific Northwest with her husband and feisty felines, Midnight & Tobias.
An avid traveler, Thurman’s book settings are inspired by the stunning places she’s visited — especially by areas of the world that are brimming with magic and the echos of ancient marvels. M.B. Thurman’s mind is one to be explored as she navigates the journey of independent publishing and steps into the world of producing. Her company, Firecracker Entertainment, is dedicated to bringing Thurman’s novels to life through immersive storytelling in mediums ranging from screen to audio and beyond. The first three books in her series (Summoned, Crossed, and Forged) are currently out, and the fourth and final book, Bound, is expected to release Fall 2027 with Contrarian Publishing. Her latest project Curses, Charms & Other Enchantments, which she co-edited, is set for release September 2026.
