About The Daffodale Estate

Giant oak trees and old-growth flowering camellias surround The Daffodale House, a grand Victorian home built in 1897. Those trees create an aura of mystery that matches the puzzling rumors and ghost stories associated with the property. Ghost-hunting teams have visited in the past, documenting paranormal activity with cameras and motion detectors. One of the teams sensed the presence of a ghostly family with a young child. There's also a Civil War–era slave cemetery nearby, and an Indian mound said to date back more than 1,000 years.

Despite its paranormal reputation, the manor is home to more than just ghosts. The spirit of hospitality also permeates the stately house, which hosts outdoor weddings and parties that spread out across three acres of manicured garden space. Inside, a Victorian dining room filled with period furnishings frequently fills with the friendly din of conversation during the house's lively luncheons and tea parties.

Completely wonderful experience start to finish! The tea for two was perfect for our aunt’s 75th birthday! Cathy was so great about helping her birthday special! The staff was welcoming and friendly, the food and tea were great and all of the little extra touches just made our aunt’s day! We were so impressed with everything, we made another reservation for our parents!
