The Rock Inn represents a hybrid commercial model. It draws revenue from food, drink, short and long term lodging, entertainment and income from the salon tenant while also acting as a community hub for the immediate area and surrounding communities. Constructed in 1929 by Joel B. Hurd, the Rock Inn was built to replace a wood structure lost to fire. Using local quarried metamorphic stone—predominantly river rock—the primary three-story building features striking arched windows, expansive stone fireplaces and a rugged aesthetic that resonates with both early 20th-century craftsmanship and modern rustic appeal. Originally a grocery, post office, gasoline station, hotel and stagecoach stop, the Inn served as a commercial hub for travelers and vacationers visiting nearby lakes and resort cottages. Post-WWII, the upper floors of the hotel were converted into duplex housing for Hurd’s sons. In 1975, world famous actor Paul Koslo acquired the historic property, reinforcing the structure and converting it into a bed-and-breakfast, keeping much of its original character intact. The Koslo family has remained the owners and caretakers of the entire property, maintaining its structural and community integrity for over 50 years.   Situated on Elizabeth Lake Road and neighboring Paul Newman’s Painted Turtle Camp, the property benefits from proximity to the Pacific Crest Trail, local lakes and the Angeles National Forest. It combines historical charm with easy accessibility that appeals not just to locals but to motorcyclists, classic and performance car enthusiasts, hikers and nostalgia-driven travelers and remains a culinary and social anchor in the area. This iconic roadhouse serves up rustic charm, hearty food, live music, lodging and old-school hospitality that keeps travelers and locals coming back for more. The Rock Inn exemplifies how rural commercial real estate can balance historical preservation, multi-functionality, sustainability and growth potential. Its blend of architecture, niche positioning and community integration produces a macroscopic value. With thoughtful enhancements—especially in guest experience, tied services such as terrain utilization—it holds so much potential to an owner-investor. Its true value lies beyond spreadsheets: it’s a living heritage asset and regional anchor capable of generating both place-based pride and purposeful, profitable commerce.
