1800’s Luxury & Quirky Mansion

About the Space

Welcome to our one-of-a-kind Victorian mansion where history, mystery, and modern luxury collide. Once the town’s funeral home, this sprawling mansion has been reimagined into a dramatic 38-room retreat that promises an experience you’ll never forget. This is not just a stay — it’s an experience of history and imagination, where past and present merge to create something unforgettable. Built in the late 1800s, it was once the grandest private residence in the county, later serving as the town’s funeral home for decades before being reimagined into the lavish mansion it is today. Every corner of this sprawling home carries layers of history — from opulent beginnings, to years of solemn vigils, to a bold new chapter as a one-of-a-kind destination where guests can immerse themselves in both beauty and mystery. The moment you cross the threshold, you’ll feel the weight of the past. The soaring entrance, carved woodwork, and towering ceilings set the tone: this is no ordinary stay. The former chapel — once the site of countless farewells — is now the heart of the home, reborn as a 1,000 sq ft kitchen and dining hall. Here, guests gather for grand meals under beautiful high ceilings, their laughter echoing where hymns once did. From this central space, the mansion unfolds like a labyrinth of stories. Two parlours and three lounges invite you to linger — some lit warmly for intimate conversation, others dressed in shadow and drama, perfect for spinning ghost stories long into the night. A library filled with books and artifacts invites curiosity, while an office and games room offer modern diversions in a setting still marked by Victorian charm. Climb the sweeping staircases and you’ll find the mansion’s nine bedrooms and six bathrooms, each unique in design. Some are sumptuous suites with private lounges and dressing rooms; others are tucked beneath gothic eaves or framed by tall, arched windows. Every room is a world of its own, yet all carry the same atmospheric blend of comfort and intrigue. But it is the lower level where the mansion’s past speaks loudest. The embalming room has been transformed into a moody cigar lounge, its cool stone and shadowed corners steeped in suggestion. Hidden doors lead to a clandestine speakeasy, while a dedicated séance room waits for those who dare to reach across the veil. Even the old casket lift has been reinvented as a bar — a chilling yet playful reminder of the house’s former life. Alongside these dark treasures, modern luxuries surprise you: a private gym and a theatre room add a touch of indulgence to the basement’s eerie charm. Step outside and the mansion reveals a softer side. The grounds are lush and inviting, anchored by an English countryside–style pool and outdoor dining area that invite you to unwind. By day, the gardens and terraces are a peaceful retreat; by night, the mansion’s silhouette looms against the sky, its many windows glowing with mystery. From the widow’s walk rooftop, you can take in sweeping views of Dresden, raise a toast to the sunset, or search the night sky for signs of the unknown. And then there are the stories — because this house is more than walls and windows. Guests and visitors have whispered of disembodied voices calling “hello” in empty rooms, shadows that slip across staircases, music drifting through the rooms in the dead of night… the majority of guests have reported unusual experiences, and most book to return and investigate further.
