5. PAPER MILL PINES BED & BREAKFAST

Paper Mill Pines Bed & Breakfast is another location with some interesting history! Innkeeper Donna and her family were looking for a new home with some land. They just happened to find Paper Mill Pines. They weren’t looking to open a B&B, but once they found this location and learned of its history, they just had to share it! The property was built in 1867 by two brothers who were taken prisoners during the Civil War. They swore to each other that if they ever got home again, they would open a paper mill. They did come home and built Paper Mill Pines to make brown rye paper that was sent all over the East Coast. There are still remnants of the mill near the pond. Five rooms, each with a private bath, face the pond. The house has windows all along the pond side of the house so everyone can enjoy the view. In addition, Donna raises hens so their guests can have the freshest eggs in the morning. There is also a glamping site, complete with a canvas tent and a queen-size bed on the other side of the pond that is popular with many guests.

6. INN AT TURKEY HILL

The Inn, Farmhouse, and Brewing Company at Turkey Hill originated as the Eyerly family farm, spanning 100 acres, in 1942. The Farmhouse was built in 1939 and served as the family home for decades. Paul Eyerly dreamed of turning the house into a welcoming country inn for those traveling on Interstate 80. After Paul’s passing, his daughter, Elizabeth, made his dream a reality and opened the following year to tired travelers. The historic home offers modern conveniences with fireplaces and two-person jacuzzi tubs, all featuring handmade wood furniture, most with private exterior entrances. The Farmhouse’s greenhouse dining area overlooks the courtyard and goldfish pond. The barn has been converted into the Turkey Hill Brewing Company and offers pub fare and locally- brewed craft beer on site. Today, Paul’s grandson, Andrew, and his great-granddaughter, Olivia, continue the legacy as owners and innkeepers, keeping it a beautiful place to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy high-quality food and drinks. The Inn, Farmhouse, and Brew Company at Turkey Hill is the Oasis along the highway!

The Inn at Turkey Hill is a luxuriously relaxing winter stay.
