you will be amazed! If we don't have a dinner show, there are a number of good places to eat, dinner clubs, sports bars & restaurants close by.

 

Originally built as a Rail Road Hotel, Thayer's, with its unique galleries, (porches) has been the focal point of this area since its construction in 1895. 

Annandale, Minnesota has been known as the place to recreate since the 1890's and still offers beautiful lakes, golfing, boating, fishing and swimming 

plus hiking and birding in Lake Maria State Park. For antique lovers, a vast assortment of well stocked antique shops are close by and for power shoppers, 

the Albertville discount outlet mall is about 25 minutes away.  

 

Thayer's is proud to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places; privileged to have enchanted guests and a colorful history!

We provide our guests the very best in old and new because we want your stay in Thayer's exquisite surroundings to be the very best getaway 

you have ever had at a B&B. Why ?  Because we want you back often as a return guest.

 

Planning your wedding?  We believe there is no better location that is elegant and 

expresses the romance of your special day than Thayer's! If you are looking for someone 

to officiate your ceremony, our owner, Sharon Gammell is a wedding officiate, how great

is that? 

 

Having your reception at Thayer's B&B is easy and fun! Finding a smoke and alcohol free

 location is not always easy but, Thayer's is that and more. Thayer's luncheon and Dessert

receptions are always a hit with Sparkling cider, Wedding punch and Thayer's special 

brewed coffee. Oh, and we have a chocolate fountain and decorated Wedding Cakes available!

 

As we said, Thayer's is no ordinary Bed and Breakfast! A perfect example of balloon framed buildings 

built in 1895 with Soo line Rail road funding, during the times when rail roads were making paths to the 

West coast. They made sure that Thayer's was decked out in Victorian style, charm and grace, Yes, 

Thayer's was and still is spectacular! 

 

Service and ambiance abound at this lovely haunted Bed & Breakfast that is loaded with authentic antiques and located

in Annandale, Minnesota just a little over an hour's drive West from the Twin Cities international airport, Mall of America,

downtowns of Minneapolis, St. Paul and only 30 minutes to St. Cloud. 

 

Gus and Caroline Thayer made sure their guests were well cared for, comfortable, well fed and entertained; following in that same

 wonderful tradition, today we provide you with authentic antiques you can sit on, breakfasts that fill your tummy and make your 

taste buds smile, Interactive Murder Mystery Dinners, Dinner Shows, Afternoon and High Teas, Carriage Rides, Ghost Hunting and 

Psychic Readings with a gifted psychic medium, our owner Sharon Gammell. 

 

Thayer's Historic Bed & Breakfast is enchanted (haunted);  the ghosts, spirits of Caroline and Gus Thayer and many others visit regularly.

It is Gus who leaves pennies for guests and it is many other of his friends that stop in for a visit now and again. Thayer's has three resident

ghost kitties and a myriad of sightings have taken place here. The most recent published sightings were when WCCO TV, a Minneapolis 

based TV station, did a piece on Thayer's; they brought in Gina Booth,  cofounder of the Minnesota Paranormal Investigative Group

to check Thayer's out. You can go to   www.wcco.com , click on video and do a search for haunted. Then click on "spend a night in a haunted

 hotel" by Jason DeRusha. Gina from the MPIG agrees, Thayer's Historic Bed n' Breakfast is haunted!

 

 

When it comes to food, Thayer's is phenomenal. We make every effort to accommodate restricted diets like Vegetarian, diabetic, macrobiotic, 

lactose intolerances and wheat or soy allergies; simply let us know when you make your arrangements and we will do our very best to work the

necessary items into your menu. We offer organic and range foods as often as we can. 

 

 

Celebrating your sobriety? Want a place that respects your choices? A location that is free of alcohol that is fun, exciting,

and friendly plus elegant & romantic; Thayer's is the  perfect location for your wedding or other celebration with no worry of someone getting drunk and out of hand.     

 

A stay in Sharon Gammell's home, offers a great way to break away from the usual B&B stay; nice as they are, after a while B&B's all seem

the same. We promise when you make Sharon's your destination, you will be stepping into a unique B&B experience!
