What originally started off as a 12,000-square-foot, 43-room mansion in town for the Ely family eventually would become many other places of business over the course of history - until it underwent renovations after it was purchased by its current owner.

While those who live in town will tell you that the historic mansion itself has been rumored to have quite a spooky past, it wasn’t until the renovations began that people started to believe this place was truly haunted.

As if the skeleton art made from teeth and other unique quirks about this place weren’t chilling enough, many of the workers who were here during the renovations began to refuse to work in the house alone after experiencing bits of paranormal activity.

Inside the bed and breakfast, you’ll find four beautiful rooms with their own private bathrooms that are decked out with lots of mahogany. While the rest of the mansion is filled with 23 chandeliers, 12 fireplaces, stained glass, carved woodwork, and apparently ghosts.
