Murder Mystery Weekends

March 28th Murder Mystery Weekend

From Guests in the Master Bedroom Suite….
We were here for a “Murder Mystery” the Chicago Caper. It was fun getting a costume & playing our parts. (Harrow & Scoop)
I mostly recommend having breakfast at the inn with the other guests. Is was truly amazing how the conversation flowed even with the couple we didn’t know but we are great friends now. Will look forward to our next stay- until then….
