Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast is a B&B with a haunting personality! Yes, we have ghosts, yes they visit, but, remember Sharon lives here so, NO the ghosts aren't mean, and they are not scary, and they are not stuck, and they are not creepy. The ghosts visit Thayer's and Sharon just like you do. If you are looking for a creepy, scary, Friday the13th or Amityville horror, Hollywood movie type place to stay... sorry, you wont find it here. Thayer's is a comfortable, beautiful, healing and happy place to spend some time getting to know yourself and spirits better.
Food: At Thayer's Historic Bed & Breakfast we understand special dietary needs! Experiencing dining at Thayer's is effortless for you no matter what your special diet! The only thing we ask is that you tell us what you require at least 48 hours in advance of your arrival or when you place your reservations. When it comes to food, Thayer's B&B is phenomenal. As we mentioned earlier, we make sure to accommodate restricted diets like Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegetarian, diabetic, macrobiotic, heart - healthy or soy allergies; we work the necessary items into your menu. We offer organic and range foods as often as we can.
Many guests say that one of the best parts of their stay is our multi-course, 'white linen' full breakfast complete with chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert. Portions here are large; if you are not usually breakfast eaters, it's OK... let us know prior to your arrival and Sharon will design a smaller breakfast that works for you.
Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast is the perfect destination for: some time alone to reflect, maybe set new personal goals, a comfortable, luxurious romantic get-a-way, an adventure, a place to stay that's unique, ghosts, a quite place to come back to when visiting friends and family in the Annandale, Minnesota area or a wonderful place to be to spend some time with friends, enjoy great food, and visit some MN attractions.

Hauntings:
Thayer's Bed and Breakfast is an award winning, premier B & B, that yes, offers what no other B&B can... a genuinely gifted psychic medium, Sharon Gammell, two fabulous Maine Coon kitties and social ghosts!!
We consider ourselves very fortunate because Thayer's is actually a haunted Bed and Breakfast. The first owners of Thayer's, Gus and Caroline Thayer, Sharon's late husband, Warren, plus a number of their friends visit regularly. If you think for one minute that Sharon would live in a haunted home that was distressing and spooky, think again, it wouldn't happen!
It is Gus who leaves pennies for guests and it is many other of his friends that stop in for a visit now and again and Miss Lilly the spirit from room 306 actually helps out during our GH101 classes. Thayer's has three resident ghost kitties and a myriad of sightings have taken place here.
When WCCO TV, a Minneapolis based TV station did a spot on Thayer's; they brought in Gina Booth, medium and cofounder of the Northern Minnesota Paranormal Investigative Group to check Thayer's out. You can find the spot by going to www.wcco.com , click on video and do a search for haunted. Then click on "spend a night in a "haunted hotel" by Jason DeRusha. Gina Booth from the NMPIG agrees, Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast is indeed haunted!
