Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home on Main Street

Situated in historic Amador County (bordering Calaveras County), renown for gold mining and rich, fertile soil that grows fantastic wine grapes, you will be just minutes away from some of the best small wineries in California including BellaGrace, TooGood, Scott Harvey, and 1850. Bethany's Home Sweet Haunted Home is the heart of Jackson and therefore all the amazing destinations in Amador and Calaveras Counties. Bethany's is located on North Fork Jackson Creek (just look down out the back windows to see the creek at the base of the house), two blocks from the Pioneer Cemetery, and 1.5 miles from the Kennedy Mine (see below for a larger list of local attractions). I am told the house used to house one of Jackson's many brothels (which were not closed down until the 50s), but it mostly was a boarding house and even a half-way house. This charming Folk Victorian house dates to 1906 and is full of antiques and IG worthy nooks and crannies. Relax in the amazing library, enjoy a meal in the large eat-in kitchen (it might be chilly down there, but you get to listen to the creek roaring in the rainy season), and plenty of space to enjoy the house and your company. Wifi is available throughout the house, with Smart TVs in the living room and primary bedroom, and with books and board games available, you really have no reasons to be bored. Is the house really haunted? Much of the area is haunted so it shouldn't be so surprising (although many owners may not be honest about it). For those who do not want to hang out with the spirits or are not sensitive to it, you likely will not notice them. On occasion, you may find things move or hear a stomp or a bang, but nothing malicious. For those interested in communicating with the spirits, we do have a variety of ghost hunting supplies available to use. This house is not really suitable for people who have mobility issues (the house is not level and the kitchen is in the basement) and is also not ideal for small children and we do not accept pets. We have an attached 2-bedroom basement apartment, which is better suited for those groups if available. An additional note: Visitors like you, allow us to continue to make improvements to the home and hope to share this beautiful home with so many (you should see our Halloween and Christmas decor)! So, while we love this house, we appreciate that you help us to make it all it is and constantly improving it.
