  Haunted AF but awesome place!

  We are currently at this hotel as I am writing this and it is my wife and our youngest son with me. I was in the shower and the curtain slowly opened and I heard a giggle but it didn’t sound like my wife but definitely female. When I moved the curtain to see if it was my wife she was not in there. So I yelled out to her and she didn’t answer. Apparently her and my son were down at the Tavern getting a snack. I texted her and asked how long they had been down there and see said they walked out right after I went into the bathroom to shower and it was before I turned on the water! So a ghost straight up opened my curtain as I was showering. This place is great!

  The former owner did not kill his family

  I have wrote a review before. I worked here and I’ve researched a ton of history on the property. The story of a former owner killing his wife and kids is just a rumor, probably comes from The Shining plot. But, the manager of many years did end up dead in 1976. Supposed to be suicide but it was suspicious. And yes, many others have died here over the years. Confirmed from newspaper articles and death certificates.

  Old and creepy.

  As soon as I got there, it looked old and off. Me my mom and older brother stayed here, we stayed on the second floor. When we got in, my brother said he was thirsty, so my mom gave him cash to go get a drink from the vending machine. When he came back he told us that it had burnt down in 1960 or so, then we "all" went to bed. I could NOT sleep. I had the feeling something or someone was watching me or just there. I went to the bathroom and googled this place, apparently the formal farmer when insane and killed his wife and kids... UM EXCUSE ME?!? When I woke up I had a killer headache. When we left it was GONE? Welp I would stay again considering I love scary / haunted stuff.

  Beautiful hotel...quite unsettling

  We stayed for a night, we checked in the evening to a room on the 3rd floor and everything was well until my son and husband called it a night & I was the only one left awake. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful, but the halls were definitely eerie. As I laid in bed, I couldn't shake the feeling of someone else in the room other than my family. Even after the door was locked and I even placed a towel under the door, I couldn't help but feel a feeling of danger. Needless to say, I didn't sleep well as I kept waking up thinking it was morning only to realize 20 minutes or an hour had only gone by throughout the night.

  Not haunted I'm disappointed

  Just sounds common of an old hotel. There are some areas where the energy definitely feels different but that's it. Lore to scare people into thinking it's haunted. Definitely disappointed.

  Dark

  I worked here for 2 years, most of which was at night. It is definitely haunted and has an evil presence there. Whole property is cursed and there’s been a lot of deaths over the years.

  Room 320

  We stayed there recently for a fishing trip. The first night I couldn't sleep good. When I finally fell asleep it felt like someone set on the end of the bed and it woke me up and then had the creepiest feeling I was being watched. The morning before we checked out the vanity light flicked on and off several time until my buddy said ok we're leaving and it stopped.

  Couldn’t last ten minutes

  1:30 am checked in expecting a good Nights rest. Immediately when we arrived I felt sick to my stomach so did my dad. We got to our room and we all felt an eerie feeling.. I then found old rotted food in the small mini fridge under the cubbies. The bathroom door wouldn’t close and the tap would not work . We even found an old key to the room as in someone was in there alr in there . We decided to not stay as we did not feel comfortable to stay the night. As we were leaving we got the fright of our life. The empty room next to us had a single blind folder up words as if something or someone was looking at us from inside. We proceed to leave and felt like for the next 30 minutes the roads would not end…

  Red Eyes and Handprints

  Me and my son stayed in Room 333. We were sleeping and I woke up and saw red eyes looking at me from the window. I went back to sleep, trying to shake off the fear. In the morning, I looked at the window and handprints on the OUTSIDE of the window. It was impossible to touch the window because there are no balconies on the third floor.

  Metal sounds and bed vibrations.

  Ok, so my wife and I just stayed here this past Monday night after dropping our daughter off at college earlier in the day. We stayed in Room 315 after grabbing a bite to eat in Roanoke VA an hour or so earlier. Exhausted from the trip we basically fell into bed when my wife fell fast asleep. For the next hour or so as I unwound, I continued to hear what sounded like metallic sounds coming from the corner of the room. Chalking it up to an antiquated AC system, I continued to check my email before going to sleep. Three times I was awakened by the sound, and at one point even thought to myself, “I wonder if it’s a ghost”, but passed it off as a silly thought and went back to bed. I was awakened a fourth time by the bed pulsating. Once again I chalked it up to a logical explanation (I had oysters for dinner and figured that I was merely having heart palpitations), and went back to bed thinking, “if it is a ghost he or she is probably friendly since this place has been here forever. It wasn’t until I mentioned my experience to my wife when we returned to NJ that she looked it up and found this website. Overall, the note is gorgeous, and filled with history and intrigue, and an incredibly personable staff, and I would definitely stay there again!

  Dead man watching

  I stayed there about 15 yrs ago in a room between 316-319. I don't remember the exact number. Over a two day stay, there were quite a few times when I felt strongly that there was a man sitting in the chair in the corner, watching the bed. I'm a skeptic by nature, but I couldn't shake the feeling of a presence. No sights, no sounds, but I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and was too scared to look around the room- because I didn't want to see!

  Haunted for sure!

  I absolutely loved this hotel and hiking through out the area. A gorgeous place yet filled with spirits...some good spirits, some bad spirits. My room (fourth floor) was haunted with a girl age 15, her name was Martha, died of pneumonia in the late 1800s or early 1900s, her spirit latched on to me (for 6 months) she was fun yet jealous. I was there for 5 exciting, memorial days and I would love to go back some day. I was never physically harmed, I was tossed around quite a bit and I stopped using the elevator due to the elevator stoping between floors so I used the stair well and that was an experience... I was "held" / "frozen" many times using the stair well ?? Oh well, part of the fun yet scary. I went to the basement or tried but was held back by a unnatural force.

  Beautiful

  I just stayed here last night. I'd say the creepiest thing that happened was being on the third floor and hearing what sounded like a woman walking in heels above us even though we were on the top floor. I really enjoyed the stories the staff shared when I spoke with them. The hotel is very beautiful and the surrounding terrain is gorgeous as well (if you like the mountains haha). This is definitely worth a visit for the beauty alone.

  Happy Haunting!

  I stayed in room 360 on Sat 8/18/18 and after I checked in and walked along the front of the building I mentioned to my sister, Lori, that I saw a black shadowy figured below the front of the hotel to the left. I was so excited to meet up with my family that I just kind of brushed it off. Later that night I was laying in bed and I heard a female child say "Cathy, look at me! Look at me!" and I sat up looked around the room which was very still and everyone in the room was fast asleep. I put my head back down and no sooner than my head hit the pillow I heard it again "Cathy, look at me! Look at me!" I looked up, and again everyone was quiet and asleep. I put my head back down and ended up falling asleep. Now I did not know this place was haunted until the day after I arrived home from my stay there and searched the hotel for the phone number to contact them about a charge on my credit card (which was fully explained) and saw some of the stories but before this I had no idea of that particular history. And I did mention to my niece, Christine, that I had an eerie feeling about this place upon arrival. It was an awesome experience and would love to visit again!

  Child's Play

  When I sleep I wear a CPAP machine and in the middle of the night I felt something grab my CPAP mask and giggle and each time it woke me up , I thought I was dreaming and I went right back to sleep and it happened three times during the night..... My wife also heard me calling for her when she was in the bathroom twice and each time she went in to see what I wanted..... I was asleep. It was kind of a weird night but not scary......

  Hotel is haunted

  Me and my husband stayed there March 2017 .we checked in on Friday. We were laying in bed and my husband said that he saw a man standing by tv. Later that night around 3am,I was awaken by the sound of what sounded like the doorknob being turned and someone trying to get into the room. Also heard footsteps in Hallway. Saturday night we experienced same events except for not seeing the man by tv. This hotel definatly has paranormal activity but,it is the highlight of the stay.

  Running Faucet!

  A few years ago I stayed there New Years Day night. The place was empty, it was late, we were tired a quick bite and off to bed. I brushed my teeth, washed my face. Went to bed, aboutun ten minutes later the faucet opened up? Ok, I got up thinking nothing of it and turned it off. This happened three more times! Ok, I gotta admit it was weird! When my friend woke up and ask why I was standing over him in the middle of the night? That's all!

  Night Shift

  I worked nights there for a year and a half. Its definitely haunted. Ask about “Mr. Hunter.” Most staff should know about him, but are probably encouraged not to say much.
