My wife and I were lucky to catch a cancellation to get away from our overscheduled lives and attend the New Years Eve Murder Mystery event at the Packer Mansion. We had participated in the murder mystery weekend about 10 years ago and looked forward to the change of pace and time for renewal. On learning that we had been... More

My husband and I needed a getaway in order to reconnect and rekindle our romance! The Murder Mystery provided an amazing opportunity to play a part in an entertaining and intriguing historical fiction! What fun! Our host Bob was a hoot! Oh, and the romance? I fell in love with my husband all over again! I highly recommend Harry Packer... More

I was surprised with a trip to the lovely town of Jim Thorpe, and a stay at the Harry Packard Mansion for a Murder Mystery weekend. The town is lovely and quaint. The mansion grand, though in need of continued restoration. (peeling wall paper, visible mildew in one room) The food provided was fair - buffet style for both breakfast... More

I am sorry you did not enjoy the murder mystery. Bob truly loves what he does and maybe he was "over the top" for your tastes. I think as I read the review, the problem was that most of our guests are looking forward to the weekend and enjoying the history, stories and other guests. This for you was a... More

If you're looking for a relaxing getaway in a romantic setting, this is the place. There is an adorable town filled with historic buildings,... More

We booked here to do the Murder Mystery, but sadly it was cancelled because a large number of the other guests cancelled. Nonetheless, we had a nice weekend. The breakfast is good, the innkeepers are nice and the room was clean and really beautiful. The porch is a lovely place to have a glass or two of wine and the... More

We were guests for the murder mystery in early November. The mansion is spectacular, with a very friendly staff. We stayed in the carriage house next to the mansion which was nicely appointed and very comfortable. The murder mystery is still a mystery to me. I was given a part to play with instructions concerning what my role was and... More

My husband and I stayed at the Harry Packer Mansion over Labor Day weekend 2011 and stayed for three nights. We stayed in the carriage house and the room was nicely decorated and very clean. The carriage house is next to the mansion and was quiet even with guests in the adjacent rooms. The breakfast is phenomenal with a nice... More

My husband and I participated in the Harry Packer Mansions "Murder Mystery Weekend". We booked the Linderman Suite on the third floor and friends of ours stayed in the other 2 third floor rooms. All I can say is what a fantastic and entertaining weekend it was! This went way beyond any stay at a traditional B&B by bringing all... More

I was very pleased with our weekend getaway to Jim Thorpe, PA. The staff of the HPM were phenomenal, tending to our every need and request. The murder mystery was lots of fun, and I particularly enjoyed that it included actual historical information, with a twist! The food was fantastic, and our bachelorette party particularly enjoyed that the mansion is... More
