Experience elegant accommodations in this restored Queen Anne, Victorian mansion. The home was built in 1892 by the local lumber baron, W.C. Ellis. To highlight the unique architecture, 7 colors were chosen to detail this "Painted Lady". Inside you will find 7 fireplaces each with ornate wood & tiled mantles. Walk through pocket doors into rooms with 10 foot ceilings and parquet floors. Behold vibrant fall colors through stained glass windows. Ascending the beautiful open staircase from the oak paneled Great Hall, is only a sampling of the six species of woodwork through out the home.
Murder Mystery Dinners are our specialty. Enjoy a five course dinner while you become suspects and try to solve a murder. Our inspector will guide you through the five rounds revealing clues and helping to point fingers at the culprit. But you are also the detectives and get the reward of solving the mystery.
