Our director has been keeping a beautiful secret.
Avery Lane Maxwell, who directs life here at the inn, is also an author, and his podcast's newest episode is his own memory of this place: Frisco, Rainbow Lake, and what it means when a beautiful town becomes home. He composed the music for it himself, and there's a version you can watch, with the words appearing on screen under a sky full of stars.
And yes, the scone recipe made it in. The one you smell in the hallway on slow mornings. He finally wrote it down, altitude adjustments and all, so you can take a little of the inn home with you.
The House That Didn't Save Me, from the podcast Avery Lane Maxwell. Listen or watch at averylanemaxwell.com/podcast, and come taste the original at 106 Galena Street.
I moved to Frisco believing a beautiful place could fix a person.
Episode Two of the podcast is about what actually happened: leaving, coming back, and finally learning the difference between a place that rescues you and a place that keeps you company while you do the work. A guest at the inn makes an appearance. So does Rainbow Lake. So does the house scone recipe, altitude adjustments included, because a podcast, like a breakfast, needs something on the plate that isn't feelings.
If you'd rather watch than listen: every episode is also a film now. The words land on the screen the instant they're spoken, under a sky of starlight, with music I composed at the front desk before the guests woke up.
The House That Didn't Save Me. Out now, everywhere.
