I really liked it here. My boyfriend and I wanted to celebrate two years together by exploring some parts of the Olympic Peninsula. To clarify, I've read the Twilight books. He hasn't. Neither of us are fans, and our mini-getaway decision of Forks was not Twilight-based at all. Cullen house or not, the Miller Tree Inn looked and sounded like a beautiful, comfortable place to stay, so we decided to give it a go. The owners/proprietors Bill and Susan were away for a wedding, so we met and were attended to by Michelle, who operates the inn when Bill & Susan are absent. She was a dog lover and a nice person, with helpful suggestions for us.
We spent two nights there - the first night in the Coutnry Clover room and the second in the Orchard Suite. The Country Clover room was one large room, with a very comfortable (soft!) king-sized bed. There was a television and a DVD/VCR combo, with a few movies to choose from (including the two Twilight movies, of course). There was a loveseat to sit on, but the way the TV was positioned, watching from bed made more sense. There was a mini-fridge stocked with complimentary juice and pop. There was an enormous soaker tub in one corner, easily big enough for two, with bubble bath and jets and towels and even a rubber ducky.
The bathroom had a regular shower/tub, sink, lotions, shampoo & conditioner, as well as a bidet toilet which washed your front end, and your back end, and even had a dryer setting (boyfriend and I both found it to be about as effective at drying as those hand-blowers in public bathrooms, but the warm air was pleasant nonetheless).
For Twilight fans, there are a lot of touches for you here and there. For normal people like us, it's not overdone to the point of choking out normalcy, or anything.
The Orchard Suite was separate from the main house. It's a private little suite with its own sitting area (with pull-out couch - it could use replacing, honestly. It kept coming apart while we sat on it), dining table, tv with VCR/DVD combo and fireplace, with separate entrances, and a separate bedroom with the same really comfy king-sized bed. It's right by the hot tub. Both suites had guestbooks/journals to write in, going back years, and it was great to read entries by other guests.
Breakfasts were hot and plentiful both mornings - a ham scramble with toast and hashbrowns the first morning, and a hashbrown pie/quiche thing the second morning. Fresh fruit, juice, coffee, pastries are available as well, and when it isn't breakfast time, the sideboard is stocked with snacks (popcorn, cookies, brownies, fruit etc.) that you're welcome to, as well as a great selection of teas etc.
There is a stretchy white cat there named Tunney, who once he warms up to you is lovely and enjoys being skritched. At night you can hear frogs frogging and cows cowing - we took pictures of the cows and even coaxed a calf to lick my hand over the fence. He was very cute.
The hot tub is lovely - it was raining, and being in the steaming tub under the rainy grey sky with green fields, trees, and cows around us was a real treat.
We had everything we needed and were well cared for. I wish checkout time were a bit later (though 11 is standard, I know), and that breakfast was served until 10 instead of 9, but maybe both of those wishes just serve to illustrate how lazy I am. :)
I have to be honest that as non-Twilight fans, Forks really had nothing to offer us besides nature (Ruby Beach and the Hoh rainforest were gorgeous), and I don't know if we'd come back. The town wasn't so much our thing. But the Miller Tree Inn might convince me. It was a wonderful place to be. Thank you!
