Woodstone Mansion

**Woodstone Mansion** is a countryside estate that Sam and Jay inherit from her great aunt Sophia Woodstone. It is haunted by several ghosts who have died on its grounds over the centuries. In the Pilot, Sam says that the house has been in the family for the last six generations.

## History

The house was built around a century or so ago by Hetty and her husband, Elias Woodstone, who were robber barons in the late 19th century as mentioned in the Pilot. Although Hetty was shown to have grown up in the mansion in Alberta's Fan, however, it could be that Hetty and Elias built up the mansion to what it is today and it started out small. Or Hetty meant her family built the mansion to include her parents.

In the episode Viking Funeral, a contractor found Thorfinn's bones near where the fountain is.

Samantha Arondekar and Jay Arondekar are the current owners of the house and fixing it up as seen in various episodes. The mansion becomes a Bed & Breakfast and guest start staying here since the the ending of Season 1.

In the episode D&D, it's shown that before the house was built the property was the site of a Revolutionary War camp. Members of the patriot army set up to strategize not too far from the red coat army. Isaac shot and killed Nigel Chessum on the property.

Hetty mentions one time someone bite into a sausage and found a worker's thumb, they complained to Hetty and Elias because she owned the factory it came from in Spies.

Hetty and Elias also owned a mill where Molly's husband had died as noted in Halloween 2: The Ghost of Hetty's Past.

A New Year's Eve party was hosted in 1928 by Thomas Woodstone, which eventually lead to Alberta's murder. Al Capone was famously there and a suspect in Alberta's murder.

## Property

On the property there is a boathouse near the pond, Sam found an old canoe for Thor's funeral in Viking Funeral.

There was a gazebo near the lake that was later burned down by the ghosts in the episode Halloween. When Hetty was alive there was swans in the lake and giraffes wandering the property.

There's a shed on the property where some Revolutionary War ghosts live, they are first seen in the episode D&D.

In the backyard the targets that Pete set up for archery practice is still there, just grown over and breaking down as shown in Pete's Wife.

There is a giant tree at the edge of their property that it partly on their neighbors, June and Ally's, land as seen in The Tree. It's been there since at least the time Sasappis was alive. Hetty talks about how she would spend time underneath the tree, including getting married there.

There's an old well on the other side of the property according to Hetty in Ghost Father of the Bride.

A barn stands on the property as seen in Woodstone's Hottest Couple. It later gets turned into a restaurant by Jay and Mark.

There's an outhouse on the property that Hetty had the help use as mentioned in The Heir.

### Rooms

* There is a separate laundry room as shown in Alberta's Podcast that is on the second floor.
* In the Pilot, there is a library that Sam and Jay walk through.
* From the episode The Family Business, it is noted that Sam and Jay only have four rooms available for guests. In the pilot it is noted that there's only 9 bedrooms total. Only three are reserved for the ghosts.
	+ One of the rooms is called "The Maple Suite" and another is called the "Pine Suite."
	+ One of the rooms has mold, a draft, and a leak.
* There is a passage way from a powder room to a vault as seen in The Vault. The vault is made of material that ghosts cannot walk through.
* The basement has the hot water heater and likely various plumbing equipment. It is located not far from the being underneath the front door.

## As a B&B

The first guest to stay in the B&B was Todd Pearlman when he stays in the episode Alberta's Fan. He gives them five hundred dollars to stay the night. Their first guests, Josh and Leann, leave to stay at the Farnsby's temporary B&B before coming back to Woodstone, they leave when the floor caves in as shown in Farnsby & B. The first official guests are shown in Spies.

Sam and Jay serve complimentary cocktails to their guests as shown in Spies.

They use the vault as a speakeasy and host a wine tasting event in the episode The Liquor License.

The entire computer system is rehauled and stops accepting bookings when they hit capacity. There's also a camera installed near the front desk as shown in The Perfect Assistant. The B&B has a website now which presumably has pictures of the mansion on it in Ghostwriter.

Sam & Jay host their first successful wedding at Woodstone, for free just to get pictures for their website showing they are available for weddings as well in Ghost Father of the Bride. Jay offers his services to DJ their wedding as well. Their first unsuccessful attempt at helping host a wedding was in The Vault.

Sam also starts a Woodstone B&B rewards program in Ghost Father of the Bride with various levels.
