Mercersburg Inn

Turn of the century charm

Very comfortable bed. Spotlessly clean room. We stayed on the third floor of this huge building. There is no lift so don’t overpack if you choose the upper floor. The outside temperature was blistery hot when we were there and the portable fan in the closet was extremely useful. We were greeted with two bottles of water and departed with a goodie bag for the road. Breakfast was delicious. Checkout was 11am. During our stay the restaurant and tavern were closed so we went to the James Buchanan Hotel restaurant for a surprisingly great meal. We would definitely return to both of those places.

We would definitely stay again as long as there isn’t a wedding during our stay

Very pretty area, nice room. My wife loved the claw foot tub

There was a wedding so I had to drive through overgrown tree limbs down behind a carriage house to park my truck and no way to keep food or drinks cold in the room

Wonderful experience!

Lovely one night experience. I wish our travels had allowed for an earlier check in and later check out as we would have enjoyed seeing more of the grounds and drinking coffee on the outside porch adjacent to our room (we checked in after 8 pm and left before 9 am). The house is enormous. The photos don’t really reflect how massive the property/home is but you expect a woman dressed in revolutionary garb to greet you when you entire the enormous center hall! That’s the immediate impression! We checked in late in the evening and were greeted by the very sweet owner, a slight Japanese woman with a warm smile. Upon check in you fill out your breakfast menu. Full breakfast is served on an enclosed porch from 8-9:30 am. Our room (#6) upstairs was lovely! Very clean and sort of kitsch. The poster bed was super comfortable and the cotton blanket plus fluffy down comforter were perfect. The bathroom is small with a stall shower. The water pressure was incredible (think dermabrasion!) and plenty of hot water. The room was air conditioned and actually a little chilly. Plenty of closet space, tables for all of your items and sufficient outlets for electronics. There was a code for secure WiFi as well. Some reviewers commented on outside noise. We didn’t hear anything other than some cats arguing with one another in the morning. Breakfast was delicious, with excellent coffee and a very nice server. My husband was able to get a very nice gluten free waffle which was a real treat for him. My cheese quiche was a delicious fluffy and hot out of the oven quiche. I highly recommend this Inn. If you are looking for an out of the way special place to have a getaway this is the spot!

Historic inn from 1903 with wonderfully relaxing and comfortable modern amenities!

The Inn was lovely. Our room was extremely comfortable. I slept like a baby - really comfortable bed, linens and pillows. However, my husband had opened the window and woke up due the morning traffic noise. My advice is turn on the air conditioner in the room to ensure a good night's sleep. My sea bass dinner was truly delectable. Others raved about their duck and scallop dinners. My husband was disappointed with his pasta meal but I am honestly surprised that he ordered it, considering he makes pasta from scratch so his expectation from a non-Italian restaurant was very high. The creme brulee was over the top delicious. Friendly staff. Fascinating history - a turn of the century inn with original Tiffany fixtures as well as period pieces from the original family. Great location. The porches, library, bar, and game room provided lots of space to unwind, relax. and enjoy conversations with friends. Sweet departure bag was a surprising treat. Thank you!
