Burn Brae Mansion

Went to one of those murder mystery dinners at the Burn Brae mansion. The mansion is beautiful! The food was awful. It was buffet style. Chicken with mushrooms. It was cut up chicken breast that appeared to be boiled with a can of mushrooms poured over it. Next dish was Swedish meatballs. I think they were microwaved momma Lucia frozen meatballs. Next was penne pasta with red sauce. I think it was supposed to be penne with vodka sauce. Could rolls were served on the table the kind you buy in a package in the bread section. The murder mystery was ok. Thank God we went out after to eat some good food. If this place wants to make it they better hire someone to cater for then or they will fail miserably!

I love coming here. A few years back, I came for my first murder mystery dinner and since it’s BYOB, I got drunk — fast. And I was completely off on the results!
The cast and the owners of Burn Brae are really nice (I have since joined the cast)! The owners of Burn Brae are super friendly and have great stories to tell. You could seriously sit there for hours with them! And yes, I have sat there talking to them for hours — it’s awesome!
Also, the mansion and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. You could just keep walking around and exploring. Sometimes it does feel a bit creepy though especially with all the dolls around.
Check it out if you ever want a nice weekend away!

I found this bed & breakfast when researching haunted places to take my girlfriend for her birthday. The Burn Brae Mansion checked off all the boxes I was looking for, creepy mansion, nearby cemetery, not too long a drive. We were seriously impressed.
We were met by the owners upon arrival, and were told to make ourselves at home. We were the only tenants that night and were given free reign of the mansion and property. We had great fun exploring all of the rooms, and reading the experiences of past guests left around in various notebooks (a great idea!). The bedroom was very spacious and there was no shortage of interesting things to look at and investigate.
Dinner was delicious, and the owners were very accomodating on dietary restrictions (my girlfriend doesn’t eat pork). They also gave us directions to the cemetery where the original orders of the mansion were interred! It was sufficiently creepy, and we got some great pictures.
Back to the mansion for a delightful night’s sleep, followed by a delicious breakfast. We learned that the Mansion also hosts murder mystery dinners, and we made sure to get all the information. We will definitely go again!

last saturday, a group of friends and i stayed overnight at burn brae manor. it was my friend’s birthday and he had wanted to stay at a «haunted’ bed and breaksfast. he found burn brae, and so off we went.
the home is beautiful, and the owners are extremely friendly. we arrived around 6pm, and got settled in our rooms (we stayed in the motel down the hill, as the suites in the house were already taken). we had dinner in the house with the other guests — it was oktoberfest type foods. really delicious. after dinner and dessert, we went down the hill for the «ghost walk». there was a company doing a haunted house and their own version of a ghost walk with actors and stuff. after the activities, we joined the crew and owner for a bonfire. in the morning there was fresh eggs and sausages, and coffee/​tea.
we had such a great time. we did not see or hear any hauntings, but another family that was staying there heard stuff and felt breathing on her face.
i would really love to stay here again, maybe not so close to halloween so things are more realistic.
