Sister Wives celeb Meri Brown's a reality star, but she's also an entrepreneur, and it's time to talk about her business. On the series, Meri's bed and breakfast (Lizzie's Heritage Inn) has been prominently featured, and it's still being discussed in season 18. In the ongoing installment, Meri talked about her plans to relocate from Flagstaff, Arizona to Parowan, Utah. That's where her b&b's situated. She wants to move her clothing business to the Beehive State (Utah). The Parowan home that's now Lizzie's Heritage Inn belonged to her great-great grandparents, but Meri had to buy it. She didn't inherit it.
Clearly, reality TV show star Meri's made sacrifices to own a business, and since Kody refused to help her fund the purchase, it's Meri's alone. Kody's been neglecting Meri for years, so it's actually a blessing in disguise that she had to scrape up the cash for the property on her own. During Sister Wives season 18, she's still trying to fix her relationship with Kody - offscreen, she left him. It's hard to say if she has to share some profits from the b&b with Kody, but she seems to have cut financial ties with him. As their union was spiritual, he may not hold her to typical divorce rules.

Meri has been subjected to many embarrassing moments on Sister Wive by Kody and Robyn, and it looks like the pair might be doing so intentionally.
Lizzie's Heritage Inn Is Meri's Pride & Joy
Meri's so proud of Lizzie's Heritage Inn. She bought the property for 80K in 2019, but needed to borrow 40K from relatives in order to come up with the purchase price. Today, the b&b's old school exterior looks gorgeous. The pretty yellow home was built in 1870. One fascinating fact is that some people think that the property's haunted. They've heard weird noises while staying there, but experienced no other "paranormal" activity.
Inside the house, there are so many interesting details. For example, there's a portrait of Meri's grandmother Lizzie. She was a milliner (a hatmaker) who grew up in the home. Meri calls her childhood bedroom, "the grandma room." There's also a, "wall of the dead" which features photographs of the females who've owned the home. Four women have had ownership of the property, and now, it's Meri's turn.
Meri's B&B Has A Beautiful Backyard
Outside, there's a black gazebo where Sister Wives fans can unwind. The property's manicured grounds feature plenty of green grass for a true country feel. The landscaping is attractive, but fairly simple. There are bushes, flowers and more, and the feel is rural, cozy, and appealing. Apparently, the star doesn't spend a lot of time at Lizzie's Heritage Inn. However, once in a while, guests may spot the celebrity there. She probably enjoys hanging out in the backyard, and the bed and breakfast is very important to her. It's expertly maintained, inside and out.
The Interior Is Warm And Inviting
The interior features a lot of yellow details, from walls to furnishings, lending plenty of warmth to the rooms. Those who prefer contemporary style may find the look of the bed and breakfast too dated, but its authentic vintage details do have charm. Meri's showcasing a lot of history and family ties at Lizzie's Heritage Inn, so the furnishings and knickknacks hearken back to the olden days. However, there are modern conveniences, so guests can enjoy comfort while they soak up the ambiance.
Has Meri Brown Slept In This Room?
As previously mentioned, the room shown above is The Grandma Room, where Sister Wives celeb Meri's grandma slept when she was a girl. Meri's all about family, so it's not such a shocker that this room means so much to her. She's very devoted to her loved ones, and that's probably why she stuck with Kody for so long. However, offscreen, she ended their unhappy spiritual union. That was a smart choice. Instead of focusing on Kody, she can work on her businesses, including her bed and breakfast. She's really into selling clothing too, due to her successful affiliation with LuLaRoe.
The "Sarah Room" is homey. It features printed wallpaper, a comfy quilt in neutral tones, and a dresser made from dark wood. This comfortable room would be great for one person or two. Meri's probably slept there, so it's an interesting location that may appeal to a host of Sister Wives fans. The room has the same vibe as the rest of the house, with a slightly cooler palette.
What's Ahead For Meri Brown?
Meri's ready to expand her horizons, and she's now a single woman. Perhaps she'll find a man, like Christine did. Meri may end up being the next "ex" to tie the knot. If she gets into another relationship, it probably won't be polygamous. The plural marriage made her totally miserable. Even if Meri doesn't find a partner, she's got her adult child, Leon Brown, and her businesses. Also, she loves hanging out with her LuLaRoe friends. As well, she enjoys going on trips with other buddies, including a male friend who visited Disneyland with her. He's not her boyfriend, but they're close.
Sister Wives season 18 star Meri's on a new journey, although she's still trying to work things out with Kody during the current installment. Perhaps she'll score a spinoff that lets viewers see how her life as a single woman's going. Whatever she does, she's free now, and able to concentrate on herself, rather than Kody. Meri hung in there for ages, and she's paid her dues. Now, she can fight for herself, rather than a man. That's progress. Without Kody, Meri can bloom. Those years of neglect and emotional abuse are over. By accepting what's real, and making the right decision, Meri's opened up a world of possibilities.
