Crystal River Inn Bed & Breakfast

Our 2009 mystery series will begin with our annual New Year's Mystery Gala, followed by two in January, and one each in February and March. The last weekend in January is our Annual Mother-Daughter Mystery Weekend. Bring your favorite (over age 25) lady to that one, and enjoy a wonderful bonding experience together. In the fall of 2009 mysteries will be scheduled in August, September, and October. All are currently booking. If you have a special group, we can accommodate them on other than scheduled weekends by advance arrangement.

Prices -- Our discounted January mysteries (consider giving them as a gift!) are only $75 per person plus the cost of the double occupancy room. Other mysteries throughout the year are $100 per person plus the room; the New Year's event is $150 per person plus room.

New Year's Eve Mystery Gala -- The New Year's Gala is $150 per person plus the cost of whichever room you select. Combine New Year's Eve revelry with friends, luxury, great food, and festive fun, and that's our legendary yearly Gala. "Sort of Big Band Era meets Casablanca" is how one New Year's guest described the theme of our annual ring-in-the-New-Year celebration. Centering their attention on a (mythical) nightclub in Monaco, 14 characters from cigarette girls to glamour queens and ditzy debutantes mix it up with hit men, sheikhs, and spies. They laugh, they party, and they kill each other -- but, of course, all in fun. The New Year's package includes two nights' accommodations; arrival night champagne and dessert buffet; guests themselves playing all costumed characters; afternoon boat cruise, cave or trolley tours; midnight hayride through the Historic District; karaoke party; a clue hunt through town; gourmet multi-course New Year's dinner featuring Beef and Chicken Wellington, wines, and hors d'oeuvres; brunch both mornings; two days of murder mystery fun; and a New Year's celebration complete with sparklers, champagne, and lighted ball descending off the balcony. We always promise that you cannot have a bad time at a murder mystery....and we promise that this may be your best ever New Year's Eve. And, when it is over, just totter upstairs and go to bed.
