Yes, Twilight is still a big deal in Forks. The “Cullen House” looks nothing like the Twilight movie version, but it closely matches Stephenie Meyer‘s description of the Cullen family home. When the Twilight phenomenon started, the townsfolk of Forks quickly got in on the fun. There is a self-guided tour of the designated locations from the books that can be picked up at the Forks Chamber of Commerce if you are a “Twihard”. The Cullens travel from Washington frequently, so chances of seeing them are slim. Please don’t disturb their guests who stay while they are gone.
A Brief History of how the Miller Tree Inn became the Cullen House
“. . . . the deep porch that wrapped around the first story.
I don’t know what I had expected, but it definitely wasn’t this. The house was timeless, graceful, and probably a hundred years old. It was painted a soft, faded white, three stories tall, rectangular and well proportioned. The windows and doors were either part of the original structure or a perfect restoration. . . . .”
Excerpt from Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight”, Chapter 15. The Cullens. And that was the beginning of how the Miller Tree Inn came to be known as the “Cullen House.”
