So, in the future when I have more than enough money (crossing fingers), I hope to open up a bed and breakfast. Now, this wouldn't just be any bed and breakfast, this would be a full blown Haunted Mansion bed and breakfast. It would resemble The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, CA - very vintage/New Orleans style. I'd probably build it in Salem, Massachusetts because of the great Halloween vibe there, and the seasons. The place would obviously be HUGE, and cost a lot of money. But I think it would be a great idea and memorable for everyone who stayed.

It would include everything, a large cemetery with lush gardens around the mansion, a large foyer, flickering candelabras and chandeliers, a large ballroom and dining room, huge gourmet kitchen, library and study, galleries and hallways and tons of guest rooms. Secret passageways would lead from spot to spot, books would slide in and out of the shelves when unexpected and chains would rattle the floors down the corridors at night. Carriage rides could be taken through the cemetery at night and much more.

Every Halloween a HUGE masquerade would take place at the mansion as well.

Waaaay cool. May be possible if you take on investors.

 

[TwistedDementia]

Sign me up for a room!

 

[Sickie Ickie]

Where are some haunted bed and breakfasts in the US?

 

[TwistedDementia]

That's a good question!

 

[Fangs]

I'd love to have a room there too! Do you do discounts? LOL seriously though.... what sickie said!

 

[Liam]

Wow, I will be your first guest! Besides Sickie, TD, and Fangs, as it seems they beat me to it. Maybe I'll even move in.

But seriously, what a great way to build a year 'round haunt. That's a great idea, please keep us updated as things move forward on this.

Here's REAL haunted bed and breakfasts (or at least claiming to be), but still looking for themed ones.

There's also a Haunted Mansion Theme Restaurant according to http://www.bedandbreakfast.com/new-jersey-cape-may-elainesvictorianinn.html, but I can't seem to find out more about it.

 

[DeathTouch]

[Sickie Ickie]

Is it themed or just known as haunted?

 

[JohnnyL]

Now I'm thinking more along the lines of The Haunted Mansion Hotel, since Bed and Breakfast sounds too warming. hehe.

Is it themed or just known as haunted?

I bet it would be a popular place if you could ever pull it off

 

[Lady Nyxie]

Sounds like you have plenty of support... now just to find the money. If I am not mistaken someone else on here wants to do a similar B & B type thing. Maybe you two could swap ideas and keep each others enthusiasm going.

Hope you realize your dream!
