Annandale, Minnesota.

A top 10 USA haunted places to stay! This restored 1895 Old West Victorian is the home of psychic Sharon Gammell & offers murder mystery dinners, psychic readings and paranormal awareness development workshops & classes, ghost hunting and afternoon teas.

Bed and Breakfast Description

Voted "Property of the Year" by the Minnesota Association of Innkeepers for Thayer's outstanding contribution to Minnesota's Lodging Industry, and Thayer's was voted one of the top #3 Bed & Breakfast's in the nation, offering Murder Mystery Dinners!

Constructed as a three story, wooden, balloon framed building in 1895, all the history the house holds and the unique western galleries (porches) on its front are some of the reasons Thayer's has the privilege to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Thayer's continues to be a beautiful work in progress. It has gone thru a number of changes over the years, especially since 1993, when it was purchased by Sharon Gammell. Today, it has beautiful gardens, 11 gorgeous guest rooms, each with a full private bath. There is a bright, light-filled living room to relax in, a game room filled with board games and, for entertaining friends, an elegant, comfortable, Victorian dining room that can easily seat 50 guests.

Some guest rooms have claw footed tubs with showers while others have double and single whirlpools. There are 6 guest rooms with electric fireplaces. Every guest room is furnished with authentic antiques and each has a comfortable bed (most are Beauty Rest Exceptional pillow-topped mattress sets), fine linens, A/C, hair dryer and upscale amenities.

Weddings here are elegant, personalized and totally yours. The new Haunted Honeymoon Package includes a one hour Couples Psychic Reading.
