This stay comes with a warning: no refunds if you leave mid-stay; some may get scared. Once a functioning morgue—and later a funeral home, church and museum—this property guarantees a spooky atmosphere, complete with an early 1900s claw-foot tub and a loft to rest after paranormal encounters. The owner even provides research gear for you to ghost hunt, and says, “Some have had haunted happenings… there may be unexplained encounters.”

Perched on a hill deep in the woods, this off-grid cabin is covered floor-to-ceiling in mirrors (I can almost feel jump scares emerging from the photos). With no electricity, an outhouse nearby, and dreamlike mirrors at every turn, the whole cabin feels like something out of a Tim Burton fever dream. Not to mention that the host provides art supplies for crafting—perfect for re-creating a backdrop from Edward Scissorhands.

Once a stagecoach stop, then a brothel and later a morgue—this B&B was featured on Ghost Adventures for good reason. You’ll have the entire second floor to yourself, including a restored five-room suite and a chilling, 11-room area that’s stuck in time (no electricity, no AC, just there for the spooky vibes). Ghost-hunting gear is also provided, and according to the owner: “You will be introduced to our permanent tenants (spirits), such as Willie, Pink Rosebud, Itzy, Sam and even the murderer.” Sounds like a party!

If you’ve ever wanted to live inside an 18th-century period film, here’s your chance—this cottage was a filming location for Robert Redford’s The Conspirator.
