Is Tarabino Inn haunted?

Tarabino Inn has a long history, and with more than a century of stories comes a collection of local legends. Guests and former residents have shared tales of unexplained footsteps, apparitions, and other mysterious experiences over the years.

We enjoy preserving these stories as part of the Inn's rich history, but most guests are far more likely to remember the beauty of the mansion, a delicious breakfast, and a peaceful night's sleep.
