Thayer's B&B today

Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast 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!

Guess what? Thayer's is listed in the TOP 10 BEST HAUNTED PLACES TO STAY in the entire United States!!

We are in another new book! Ghost Cats: Human Encounters with Feline Spirits by Dusty Rainbolt

and we are included in Chad Lewis' 'Haunted Locations in Minnesota' it's a travel guide...

and we are in A Ghost in My Suitcase by Mitchell Whittington also a travel guide.

and we are in Ghostly Encounters by Frances Kermeen. All the books have some fun stories about us.

There are many things to see and do when you stay at Thayer's B&B; You can have a Psychic reading done, get into character for a Murder Mystery Dinner, enjoying a ghost hunt right here or you can go snowboarding or down hill skiing at near-by Powder ridge or go for a walk and enjoy the many lakes that are within walking distance. Antique shopping is fun and we are not far from the Albertville shopping Mall.

If we don't have a Mystery or a dinner scheduled, there are many nice places to eat in the area, dinner clubs, sports bars and restaurants are all close by.

Originally built as a Rail Road Hotel, Thayer's, with its unique galleries, (porches) has been the focal point of this beautiful area since its construction in 1895. Annandale, Minnesota has been known as the place to recreate since the 1890's and still offers beautiful lakes, golfing, boating, fishing and swimming plus hiking and birding

in Lake Maria State Park. For antique lovers, a vast assortment of well stocked antique shops are close by and for power shoppers, the Albertville discount outlet mall is about 25 minutes away.

Thayer's is proud to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places; privileged to have enchanted guests and a colorful history!

We provide our guests the very best in old and new because we want your stay in Thayer's exquisite surroundings to be the very best getaway you have ever had at a B&B. Why ? Because we want you back often! Satisfied and happy to be return guests!

The Ghost Hunting 101 classes are doing well... they are informative and fun! book them for a group or just you. I have the scheduled dates listed on the activities calendar by month.

Our Interactive Murder Mystery Dinners have changed a bit. This year, a B&B stay is necessary to attend a scheduled Mystery Dinner. You can request 2 night Mystery Dinner B&B package or add Mystery Dinners to your one night stay.

If you prefer not to stay, you may set-up a private Murder Mystery Dinner with as few as 12 people. Here is the link for private events.

Just know that I do believe in the three basic food groups - butter, sugar and chocolate!!

But, I think it might be a good idea to mention to those of you not as familiar with me and Thayer's that I do know how to be health conscious; I can prepare foods that are heart healthy, vegetarian, Vegan and foods for special diets -even macrobiotic, all you need to do is give me 48 hours advance notice and anything is possible... With the advance notice, I can comfortably accommodate special needs. Please tell us what you are looking for when you reserve your stay... cause if you are looking for or want healthy, I'm actually good at preparing it.

Having your wedding here is a great way to have a celebration that is elegant, personalized and totally yours... and I just put together a new Paranormal 2 Night Package that's really great! A lot of people have been reserving this package for their honeymoon... Isn't it great? Now you can get married here, get a psychic reading, and celebrate your honeymoon and not have to leave Thayer's.

Later, Sharon

PS: The gardens are happy! Below is a photo of one of our fountains. Thanks to all of you that work so much to have the garden lovely, pretty and fine.
