A Unique St. Augustine Bed and Breakfast… where you arrive as a guest… but you leave as our friend!
History
Established in 1995.
Built in the late 1800’s as a private home and winter retreat for a wealthy Boston businessman, it became a Inn called «Aunt Peg’s Bed and Breakfast» in 1995. The name was changed to «At Journey’s End Bed & Breakfast» when Ellen Cook and John July became the proprietors nearly 14 years ago. When the current owner, Tim Millbern purchased the Inn in November, 2009, the name and the engaging «compass» logo were retained due to their classic meanings for travelers whether from around the world or from just around the corner.
But since then not much else has stayed the same. Innkeeper Millbern has invested over $ 185,000 updating nearly every aspect of the Inn. From modernizing the bathrooms and furnishings to adding inviting outdoor spaces for Guests. The vision was to create an Inn that met the needs of the modern day traveler yet stay true to the building’s Victorian heritage. At Journey’s End dubbed their décor as «doily-free”(#doilyfree), or a «Victorian Fusion».
Meet the Business Owner
Tim M.
Business Owner
After a 30 year career in the nonprofit corporate world with positions ranging from educator to C.E.O./President, Tim Millbern gave it all up to «live the dream» of owning a Bed & Breakfast! While he could have perhaps chosen an easier retirement job, Tim’s interest in people’s lives along with his knack for creative and fun entertaining naturally drew him to the hospitality industry. As Tim says, «It’s not like the old Bob Newhart TV Comedy Show where he owned an old New England Inn.» And, it’s not pretending to be Martha Stewart arranging flowers and creating centerpieces. He says it’s really more about developing a unique and memorable experience for each and every Guest. AJE’s mission has been to establish a place with the sophistication of Bed & Breakfast, yet in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere… sort of like home!
