History of the Inn
This unique home was built in 1938 for Doctor & Mrs. Farley G. Eskelson. Dr. Eskelson was a prominent physician in Vernal from 1932 until his retirement in 1955. He was the owner and operator of the Uintah Basin Hospital, which was located right next door in what is now the Parrish Hall of the Episcopal Church. For his convenience, Dr. Eskelson built an underground passage directly from this home to the hospital. The passage no longer exists, but you can still see the evidence of it by looking at the close proximity of this home to the former hospital. When the old Zion’s Bank was updated, Dr. Eskelson took pieces of wood to add character and charm to the home. You can see his handiwork in the wood walls and ceiling in the downstairs Rec Room.
This property was renovated in 2014, to become the “Main Street Manor Bed & Breakfast.” The wood floors in the dining room and each bedroom are the original floors; many other fixtures in the home were also preserved.
Later, a colony of industrious bees found this home so appealing, they built a massive comb right in the walls! Caring people were able to relocate the bees, and the new owners renamed this property “The Honeybee Inn” in 2019. Now we honor the healing history of this home by offering Reiki treatments downstairs.
