Spent a wonderful weekend at the Harry Packer Mansion. Innkeepers were great, and having drinks on the veranda was a great addition to the experience. Room was well decorated, clean and comfortable. Would not hesitate to return.

The Murder Mystery Weekend was fantastic! First off the Mansion and the Carriage House are gorgeous and beautifully decorated. The inn owners are very welcoming and very knowledgeable. I was impressed with the amount of service that they did considering they only have 4 staff members. The rooms are kept very clean and the room that we stayed in was... More

We just recently attended the Harry Packer Murder Mystery Weekend and could not have been more pleased. To say the staff was friendly and accommodating is the understatement of the year. The owner knew everything there was to know about the Packer family history as well as the history of the beautiful town of Jim Thorpe and gladly fielded inquiries... More

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

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
