The Haunting
The 1867 Parkview Inn began as a hotel and restaurant and has operated as one or both of these for over 150 years. With so many souls passing through its doors during that time, one can only imagine the stories this historic building has to tell. It was restored to its former glory as a hotel in 2019 and now features nine rooms decorated with a historic theme and furnished with simple amenities for a comfortable stay.
Although most guests rest easy through the night, owner, Beth Johnson, has plenty of stories to tell. Bells ring and objects move in empty rooms in the restaurant. Legend has it that a small girl perished in a fire and a room with evidence of fire damage was uncovered in a sealed room during the renovations. Although the renovations have turned the spooky upper floors into a cheerful place to stay, paranormal investigators and ghost hunting groups have received signs that spirits are walking among the living at the 1867 Parkview Inn.
The 1867 Parkview Inn is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Owego on the banks of the Susquehanna River among other historic buildings, charming parks, boutique shops, and distinctive eateries. The Inn also houses the Duggan House Restaurant and Pub with a tempting menu full of homemade comfort foods and Irish pub favorites. Guests receive a complimentary breakfast with their stay. Pet friendly and ADA accessible rooms are available. Take a virtual tour of the hotel here.
