Stone Lion Inn
The Stone Lion Inn is a sprawling 1907 Victorian mansion—once Guthrie's most expensive home, later a funeral parlor—that now runs notorious Friday/Saturday murder-mystery dinners for up to 40 guests, complete with a seven-course dinner and full overnight stays. The ghost of Augusta Houghton, a child who died from a nurse's medication error, is said to roam the third floor and has been reported touching sleeping guests on the cheek.
The move: Book a Friday or Saturday murder-mystery overnight: arrive for the four-hour, seven-course dinner where you and your date play assigned characters, try to solve the mystery together, then stay the night in one of the six Victorian-themed guest rooms (some with claw-foot tubs) and collect your gourmet breakfast in the morning.
📍 Before you go The inn sits on a quiet residential street in Guthrie, about a half-hour drive north of Oklahoma City up I-35, so plan it as an evening or overnight trip rather than a quick stop. The murder-mystery dinners run weekend nights only and book up well ahead, so reserve directly with the inn before you go (it's not a walk-in); the experience is a shared event with other guests, not a private table. Daytime, leave room to wander downtown Guthrie's historic district, the largest of its kind in the country, where Victorian storefronts hold antique shops, galleries, and cafes, plus a ghost walk if you want to extend the spooky theme. Respect the neighbors when arriving and parking.
