My husband and I spent a weekend here for a murder mystery weekend. We checked in Friday night with a courteous, helpful and kind Taylor. After showing us the locking ways of the door, he showed us to our room. We stayed on the 3rd floor of the main house. What a wonderful room! Beautifully kept, decorated and ready for... More

We recently stayed at the Harry Packer Mansion over the easter weekend. We had a wonderful time. The owners were extremely hospitable and made our weekend relaxing and pleasurable. we arrived a day late so the town was closed on easter sunday but we did walk around the town and it was lovely. Hope to come back and stay again!

We really enjoyed watching the story unfold as well as participating in the fun. The mansion is lovely. We stayed in Harry's Suite which is a fantastic... More

There was a group of 12 of us all doing the Murder Mystery together, and it turned out to be a fun group! The mansion is absolutely beautiful and we had the chance to see a couple of the guest...

My first B&B experience. We went as a group of 6 to do the MURDER MYSTERY weekend. Had a great time playing along and "Bob" was an amazing host. Very clean Mansion and the owners were very nice. Breakfest was very good and our Dinner for the Murder Mystery was amazing. Will definitely stay again and recommend to others!

This mansion is run like a B&B, it was a eerie to stay at a mansion with all this history and portraits of the original owners. But the mansion is well maintained, there is a lot of history in the small town, lots of hiking and even a beach near by. Would definitely recommend for a fun weekend. They also... More

For those of you who can appreciate great hospitality, the comfort and exquisite taste for quality in both rooms and history. Bob and Pat have restored this most elegant and time piece mansion to a beauty for generations to come. The price is not only resonable, but in our opinion, is every bit worth the memories and happiness that my... More
