Description
The House of Usher is a mystical manor in the middle of a forest located in rural Massachusetts, near Boston. The forest is rickety and has a scary atmosphere, and the manor has giant windows facing the nearby lakes. The interior is inspired by Gothic architecture, and contains dark antique furniture. The house can best be described as a "rustic" abode.
History
The house was constructed in 1709 by the Usher family, known to be deeply fascinated by the occult and magic. After four generations, all that remains of the ancient Ushers are the twins Roderick and Madeline Usher, who have kept the house as it was nearly thirty years ago, when their father mysteriously disappered.
Where you'll sleep
What to expect
The House of Usher contains many mysteries, some of which are not solved to this day. Unuseasonal tempests, bloodred moonrises, and mysterious noises from the basements are just some of the things you may encounter.

Horrible. The co-host Madeline was ghostlike, and I only saw her once. Although Roderick was my childhood friend, the house seemed decrepid and on the brink of collapse. 0/10.

Things to know
House rules
Check-in is after 6:00 PM and checkout is before 2:00 PM. Pets are not allowed in the house. Please do not hold any events or parties and do not damage any of the furniture or paintings.
Safety &property
Families with children should be advised as it is easy to get lost in the woods and the manor. There are spots where the nearby lake could pose a drowning hazard and it is recommended to not swim in it. One more thing to note is that the structural integrity of the building is poor.

Cancellation is free for 72 hours after booking. After these 72 hours are up, you may be eligible for free cancellation if it is 3 months before your stay. There are no refunds after the cancellation period expires.
Guest requirements
Please make sure you have transport arranged for your arrival and departure. Prepare for inclement weather and pack raincoats and/or windbreakers.
What to bring
Make sure to bring candles or other forms of lighting as there are no lights in the manor.
