The Collinwood Inn is the world's first and (as far as we know) only Dark Shadows themed inn, offering comfortable lodging in a gothic atmosphere filled with antiques and various Dark Shadows memorabilia. We are located in Central New York, in between Syracuse and Utica, in the quaint historic district of Oneida.
The Collinwood Inn is a 19th century Italianate Victorian mansion that currently offers the visitor a choice of four guest bedrooms; all of which are named after a character from the 1960's television show, Dark Shadows. All rooms are furnished with antiques and have a private bathroom with shower. Two of the rooms also have a relaxing jacuzzi tub with room for two. If you are looking for unique accommodations in the heart of New York State or if you are a fan of Dark Shadows, we invite you to stay at the Collinwood Inn in Oneida, New York.
Owned and hosted by two fun-loving Dark Shadows aficionados, Brian and Gerri Gray, the inn offers guests private showings of Dark Shadows movies (upon request), Victorian-style seances (also upon request), good company, and a chance to experience one of the most unique lodgings in the country. Please be aware that the Collinwood Inn is not intended to be an exact replica of the Dark Shadows' Collinwood set; however, we have tried our best to incorporate many antique pieces and other items that resemble the props used on the show as well as other elements that help to inspire a gothic "Dark Shadows" feel.
The Collinwood Inn is a NON-SMOKING, adult inn. (However, smoking is permitted outside on the porch and on the grounds.) Accommodations at this inn are not suitable for small children. We are not wheelchair accessible and pets of any kind (except for vampire bats and werewolves) are not allowed on the premises. (Sorry.) The rooms do not have air conditioning, televisions, VCR/DVD players, telephones, or radios. We do, however, supply fans to help keep the rooms cool in the summer. If you are looking for something modern, this is not the place for you. But if you, like governess Victoria Winters, feel drawn to the past, then you will feel right at home here.
