Murder Mystery Success!

“I have done several Murder Mystery Dinners (KY Dinner Train and local events), but this was the 1st interactive Murder Mystery Dinner, and I thought it was totally awesome. I had so much fun. The organization of the event was absolutely perfect, the food was good, and the overnight stay was fantastic.

You all are so welcoming, and this was such a fun event. I would definitely love to come back. My cousin and I had a great time. The staff and other guests were all so delightful.”

Murder Mystery Trailer Park Tragedy

“This was not our first murder mystery weekend at Maple Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast, but it definitely was our best so far. Owners Catherine and Justin greatly enhanced our experience with awesome decorations, hilariously appropriate props, and their added participation.

Our murder mystery weekend was filled with lots of laughter, delicious meals, wonderful housing, and it was all done in a beautiful mansion and setting. We look forward to our next Murder Mystery at Maple Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast. As a retired teacher, I give them an A+ rating for providing a very memorable experience.”

Mystery & Magnificence: A Perfect Murder Mystery Dinner at Maple Hill Manor!

“Our Murder Mystery Dinner Party at Maple Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast was simply perfect. From beginning to end, every element of our event was meticulously choreographed and supported by Catherine and her staff. We were able to choose from a variety of mysteries cast in different periods and venues. Once we made our selection, Catherine emailed everyone the invitations, including their character descriptions and costume recommendations.

When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and given a tour of this magnificent estate. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area, and our guests had a great time touring distilleries, dining, and antiquing. On the night of the event, we all gathered in costume and were instructed on the rules of the game. For the rest of the evening, we enjoyed cocktails and a sumptuous meal prepared by Catherine and her staff. The game was engaging and fun for all.

I wholeheartedly recommend the Maple Hill Manor Bed and Breakfast, as an inn, and as a venue for the best murder mystery birthday party ever!”
