Merryweather Inn is the host of Marcia Hayles’ Spirit of the Lights display! Formerly housed at Glensheen, the display is filled with whimsy and many stories! Open December 1, 2025. It is free and open to the public. You are welcome to walk through and enjoy! Please be careful! It is winter and it will be slippery. Please stay on the paths which are indicated by the green candy canes. We might not be there—but you are welcome to message us on instagram!We will do our best to keep the lights on throughout the month--but on really wet and rainy days the lights are really difficult to keep lit. It's an old house and water trips the circuit breaker-- So hope for snow and not rain!

Letters to Santa are accepted in the green mail box on the little pink house to the right of the stairs. Do leave a return address. Santa’s elves write back!
Sometimes there are cookies in the pink shed!
Please do not ring the doorbell. It disturbs the overnight guests. Only overnight guests are permitted in the house at this time.
