It is safe to say that Ghosts is a hit for CBS. In the series, Sam gains the ability to see spirits after a near-death experience. The home she and her husband, Jay, have recently moved into has no shortage of spirits for her to interact with. While the series is ultimately about the living couple and the home’s spirits, the house itself, Woodstone Mansion, has become something of a character. As we dive into season three, we can’t help but wonder where Woodstone Mansion is located. We have all the details.
Where is ‘Ghosts’ set?
Sam and Jay initially resided in New York City but moved to a sprawling estate in upstate New York when Sam learned she was the only heir to the family home. The mansion is located in Ulster County in the series. Ulster County is a rural New York county about two hours north of New York City proper.

While the show isn’t filmed in Ulster County, New York, a fair bit of research has been done into the series. Nestled along the banks of the Hudson River, Ulster County is best known for its landscapes and rich history. The series carefully includes information about the region.
Where is the actual house from ‘Ghosts’?
Sam and Jay’s house is supposed to be in Ulster County, New York, but the show is filmed elsewhere. Exterior shots of Woodstone Mansion aren’t even shot in the United States. Instead, an estate outside of Montreal, Quebec, is used for the show.
While CBS has never officially announced where the iconic mansion is actually located, fans have done a lot of leg work to figure it out. According to Reddit users, Woodstone Mansion is actually known as Chateau Valmont. The home is located in Montebello, about an hour outside Montreal.
