The Victorian Country Inn
North of Columbia in Hallsville sits a Victorian mansion known as the Victorian Country Inn, an enchanting B&B that offers several era-inspired activities.
The house hosts Victorian tea parties as well as custom mystery dinner parties. Participants choose a character in a mystery scenario with period costumes. During and after dinner, clues are given and guests put them together to solve the mystery. Owner Barbara Spencer’s most recent dinner was a 1920s gangster mystery.
The B&B opened last year, and Spencer said it’s been doing well because of a high level of service and customizable experiences. Birthday parties are especially popular.
“We try to have a theme for every dream,” Spencer said. “If you want a relaxing romantic weekend with a gourmet meal you can, or you can stay in one of the theme rooms.”
In the Starlight Theater room, a treasure map to a hidden passageway is in the library. You can also visit a vintage theater with free concession stand. The Sarsaparilla Saloon room is a historical photo studio suite with antique props, period costumes and free sarsaparilla.
The Victorian Country Inn also has a reflexologist on staff and offers massage services in the spa room — perfect for road-weary business travelers. “We do VIP service, and people are treated well,” she said.
