Deal of the Month


Not only are you guaranteed a great meal and amazing views at The Wildflower Inn Restaurant & Pub, but if you dine out on a Monday night, you can also help out some great local causes.


The Wildflower Restaurant’s Monday’s Give Back Program is a fundraiser benefiting local nonprofit organizations. A different organization is chosen each Monday to receive 10% of the sales (excluding tax and gratuity) from all guest checks for that night.


Organizations that have benefitted from the program include schools, community groups, fire & rescue organizations, animal rescue groups, food shelves and others.


Keep an eye on the Wildflower facebook page to learn which organizations are on the Give Back schedule. If you are part of a local nonprofit group and would like to be considered for the program, you can put in a request via the Inn's website.

Unpack & Unwind


Whether it's a family trip or a romantic getaway, you'll find all variety of lodging for all types of vacations.


Burke Basecamp offers a great location with direct access to Kingdom Trails and it's just a quick drive to Burke Mountain and village restaurants. The custom-built, 3 bedroom home has a cozy atmosphere with a coffee bar, gas woodstove and local artwork adorning the walls. There's even a ping-pong table and corn-hole set up in the garage for fun & games!
