Vintage Small Town Charmer

In the fall, we decorate for Halloween*, then during the winter, we host a musical LED light show! The Christmas program is about an hour long, with a variety of music which you can tune into on your radio station at 92.1 fm. Grab a bite to eat or cup of coffee from one of the restaurants/cafes in town, then park on the corner of 'B' & Main Street, and enjoy!

***********Our Christmas Show debuts

on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (if earlier, it will be posted on our page!), when our town hosts their Holiday Festivities event sponsored in part by the Buckley Downtown Association. Get details here: https://www.facebook.com/buckleydowntown

Once an Airbnb, Vintage Small Town Charmer was built in 1898, and is in the heart of downtown Buckley. It has a musical computerized program which is about an hour long, with a variety of music which you can tune into on your radio station at 92.1 fm. Featured in our show are modern songs, classics and children's favorites! Above our three LED pixel trees, on the second story, look for our "singing" ornaments- Lighty, Brighty, Blinky and Flash, then below the window frames are wreaths and LED peppermint candy canes, with LED pixel lights under the eaves that move to the music. LED lights also line the walkway which leads to our porch that holds three 5' static light Christmas trees, and if you look closely, you'll see Santa! Grab a bite to eat or cup of coffee from one of the restaurants/cafes just down the road (within walking distance!), then park on the corner of 'B' & Main Street for the best view (so you should be able to see all three of the main Christmas trees). After our show, look for the town's Merry & Bright decorating light contest participants that we run for the city of Buckley!

**********Our Halloween decorations are "simple spooky" and not overtly scary for kids, with no jump scares. Our Victorian home was built in 1898, and when we bought it from the local funeral home owners, they SAID it wasn't haunted! A creepy silhouetted glows on the side of the house, and a bride who will never marry sways in the windows. The yard has become an old graveyard, surrounded by a rickety fence, with flamingos who are DYING to get in! Skeletons everywhere include humans, oversized bats, cats, dogs, spiders, and more! Standing on the corner, you'll notice our House Has Eyes in it's windows, and you'll see an oversized, lit up spiderweb with a BIG spider perched on top (note- this turns into a Christmas tree Thanksgiving weekend). Doll heads with glowing eyes line the walkway that leads you past a rusty cage full of zombies (it's safe- as long as we remember to lock it!), and an old witch is floating against the wall. As you go up the stairs (be careful! There is "barbed wire" on the railings and pumpkins clutter the steps), you'll be able to see all the goodies on the porch such as cobwebbed corners, with bats, candles and an owl overhead. Every few days there will be something new added from bottles of poison to marbled statues. On the bench, you'll notice the pumpkins are ALIVE! Listen for a bit, and they'll sing all of your favorite Halloween songs. If it's the weekend before Halloween, leading up to the day of, dragon heads will have fog spilling out of their jaws! If you peek inside the front door, you'll see haunted portraits, and the bust of Frankenstein and his wife. As you turn rush to the bottom of the stairs, look past the werewolf and in the window above the garage, you'll see somebody's watching you!!! You better HURRY to the next house, but first look under the branches- ZERO is keeping the man-in-the-tree company, and the hedge is filled with eyes blinking in the night! Hurry baaaack! Next time, be sure to bring your death certificate and make funeral arrangements, because we're dying to have you stay a little longer....
