Breakfast for two in the Lantern Room, with johnnycakes, Captain's hash and a pot of tea, and enough left over for a bag of scones to take home.
Gift cards
Give someone a night in an old house
A gift card in any amount from $50, good for a room, a dinner in the old chapel, a round in the Undertaker's Parlor, or a Sunday reading with Madame Corvina. Sent by email or in the post, in an envelope sealed with wax.
Amounts and ideas
You choose the amount, from $50 up, in whole dollars. If you'd like a starting point, these are what people most often send, and roughly what they'll buy:
$100
Two places on the Lantern Ghost Walk and a round of house cocktails afterward, or two Tarot & Tea readings with Madame Corvina on a Sunday afternoon.
$250
The five-course Ledger tasting for two, with wine pairing, or close to it once you've added a glass of Madeira at the end. (Tax and gratuity are extra.)
$400 and up
A night in most of our rooms outside October, breakfast included. $500 covers a midweek night in the Widow's Walk Suite with dinner on top.
How it works
- Send us a request using the form below, or call the front desk at (978) 555-0148 between 7 am and 10 pm. Tell us the amount, who it's for, and how you'd like it delivered.
- We call or email you to take payment. For your security we don't take card numbers through this website. Samuel or someone on the front desk will be in touch within one business day, or the same day if you call.
- We send it. An e-gift card arrives by email as a printable card with a unique number, on the date you choose (handy for birthdays and for people who've forgotten them). A mailed gift card is printed on heavy cream stock, sealed with wax and posted first-class; please allow five to seven business days, or ten in December. We can also hold a card at the front desk for collection.
- They use it. The recipient quotes the card number when booking a room or a table, or hands it over at the restaurant, bar or front desk. The balance carries over if they don't use it all at once.
What it's good for
Anything the house sells directly:
- Rooms and suites, including taxes and the dog fee in the Carriage House Suite
- Lunch and dinner at The Ledger, including the Ledger tasting and wine pairing
- Breakfast in the Lantern Room for non-guests
- Drinks and snacks at the Undertaker's Parlor
- The Lantern Ghost Walk, Tarot & Tea, candle-making, pickleball clinics and court time, and the October Séance Supper
- Private dining deposits
Gift cards can't be used for wedding packages or wedding deposits, for rooms booked through third-party travel sites (we can't see those payments, so we can't apply the card), or exchanged for cash.
The fine print
Gift cards are valid for at least seven years from the date of purchase, as Massachusetts law requires, and in practice we've never refused an old one; a guest arrived last spring with a card from 2017 and Samuel honored it with something close to delight. Lost cards can be replaced if you have the card number or the original confirmation email. Gift cards are not valid with some promotional offers; we'll say so in the offer. Purchase of a gift card doesn't guarantee availability, especially in October, so encourage the lucky person to book early.
Gift cards bought from the previous owners of the inn (before 2014) can't be redeemed, which we're sorry about; that was a different business.
