The Mercersburg Inn

I would try other hotels before I stayed here again and I would never stay here with another guest in the same room. The pictures must be 20 years old because the property is more worn than advertised. Bathroom was very small, like leave your toiletries in the room small. Breakfast was below average.

Everything was amazing. Dinner was delicious, and they even got us in an hour before we were scheduled. Thank you to the entire staff

The staff could not have been nicer! The food was out of this world and the library/bar room with a fireplace was cozy!

Very kind and serviceable. Main building is historic and well maintained. Peaceful place to visit while in town. Owners were very accommodating. Great experience.

Nice meals and staff. Best dining option in the area. Would gladly stay here again.

Its a very unique experience but the staff are wonderful. We LOVED April. Very peaceful for an overnight get away

The building was victorian elegant!

What was not special was our rooom. We paid a significant upcharge for a nice room with a terrace, but it was just roof of a porch, and not grand or luxe enough to justify the upcharge. The furniture was not original to the historic hotel.

Beautiful piece of history! Thank you for preserving it!

the Inn hostess Toni (? Sp.) was. The breakfast was amazing. The Mansion itself was beautiful. It does need some work though as we discovered on our walk around the property. I didn’t realize that it didn’t have an elevator so the stairs were a little difficult to navigate. As you entered to check-in, there was a torn shade that was an eyesore. They should replace that. The parking is ample.

It’s ok if you like old things. The bed wasn’t super comfortable.

Very nice room. Home and grounds beautiful and relaxing. Best breakfast ever if you like to be pampered. The town is quaint and walkable.

Charming inn. Very friendly hosts. Room was nice. Location convenient to our needs. Only complaint is that game room is not airconditioned

The Mercersburg Inn has maintained its charm over the years. It is an excellent place for a quiet getaway.

It is absolutely beautiful in every respect. Great service and excellent food.

The Mercersburg inn is a wonderful bed and breakfast nestled in a picturesque small town surrounded by mountains. It has beautiful architecture, both inside and out and possess a grand history. The building is well kept, clean, and furnished with fascinating antiques. There is even a large porch where you can enjoy a touch of nature and listen to singing birds. The staff is very accommodating and always present for assistance. There is a game room with various types of puzzles, a pool table and air hockey to help spend the time. A full bar is available with a fireplace to unwind after a long day. Definitely a place I will visit again.

We had bees, stinkbugs and cobwebs, in our room. The furniture was mismatched, lampshade torn, rugs dirty. Housekeeping only provided 1 set of towels, and 1 roll of toilet paper. There wasn't a plunger in case there was clog. Window AC unit outdated, not efficient (didn't cool the room) and extremely loud. Thankfully the inn keeper provided earplugs as though someone had previously complained. We had splurged on our hotel stay and were disappointed on the atmosphere. Very overpriced.

Unfortunately when we arrived there wasn’t anyone to greet us, even though we got there right at check in time. The keys were set out with a note to tell us what room and such. We booked a specific room, but did not get that room for some reason. Overall, the stay was good, but my husband and I have gone to other bed and breakfast spots and have formed a good bond with the owners… this felt more like a business.

Charming, but almost deserted perhaps because we went during the off season. Very limited staff during the day. The place looks very tempting on the website but was a disappointment in reality.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Property is not ADA accessible. Food was excellent

I was unable to check in. Thankfully the inn offered the credit to stay another day, so I will evaluate when it is time.

The Innkeeper went out of her way to be helpful and gave us a little gift bag for the road when we left. we stayed in the cottage, so it was quiet and quite roomy. We were able to cross the road(busy) and then had the opportunity to amble around the grounds of the Academy just across the way. Only drawback: The neighbor down the hill keeps a cow in the backyard, so it's a bit smelly.

Needs fixed up. Liked electric plug in for EV6. Breakfast was served it was hot and enjoyable. Staff was friendly. Nice departing bag with water and snack

It was awesome and relaxing

This is a very beautiful property and the photos of the interior do not do it justice. The Innkeepers do their best to make you feel welcome - the gift bag was also a nice touch. The dinner was outstanding prepared by a gourmet chef and having a custom made breakfast on the balcony of our room was wonderful. One small nit would be that the exterior requires some TLC - a lot of the gardens were overgrown, had weeds in them and there were a few dead trees; the walls could use a fresh coat of paint or a power wash; there were couple of port-o-pots in the driveway so perhaps some renovations were underway. We will definitely return when we have a chance.

A beautiful property. Very well preserved

This is a charming inn with an attentive staff. They had a suite with an extra bed that was perfect for me and my granddaughters. The dining was excellent.

We booked the Romantic Retreat room 14 at a premium for Valentine's weekend. Staffers were pleasant, helpful, and informative. Common areas (dining hall, sitting room, bar&lounge, gameroom) were quite nice and had an old world appeal, though we only utilized the gameroom's pool table and air hockey. We elected to have room service for dinner and breakfast with an additional charge of $20 per meal. They have carryout, but not for inn guests. The food was delicious and served hot. The "Romantic Retreat" room is not set up for eating. There is no table except for a small desk and one chair. The small ornamental rocking chair was of no use...a small bistro set in its place would be more useful. We ended up at the window seat with our meal sitting on our laps. Our room included a jacuzzi tub and a two sided gas fireplace. My one major con: the room was dusty and there were dead and live stink bugs... apparently a good walk through was not done close to our arrival. For the price we paid, we expected the room to be in top order. The low fireplace flames did little for ambience unless you were sitting on the floor. They are really not visible when in bed or in the tub.

The historic property was beautiful and the dining was excellent. I had breakfast on the large porch. It was very enjoyable.

Loved our room just needed dusted and big cobwebs cleaned up.

Beautiful location and ground. Dining is top-notch. Owners and staff are friendly and helpful.

Very nice B&B, friendly hosts,

it was old school. the restaurant was great. they deliver breakfast to room. so cute

I took my son on a ski trip to Whitetail ski resort and wanted something close and something unique. This is a charming historic building with interesting decor and well-adorned public areas. The breakfast choices were fantastic and a great start to the day. The staff was gracious and very accommodating. The departing gift bag was a nice touch. I completely recommend.

Beautiful and quaint hotel. Close to skiing. Clean with many food services.

Had a nice romantic getaway at the Mercersburg Inn. A few things could of been better. The breakfast the first day was cold, unappetizing and clearly recooked ahead of our scheduled breakfast time. The owner was very responsive and receptive of this and our breakfast on the second day was phenomenal. The room we stayed in (Carriage House) was very quaint but not quite up to our expectations for the price we paid. The air conditioning unit was surrounded with poorly duct-taped cardboard and our jetted tub had rust colored stains all over the jets. But once again management was very nice and pleasant and even offered to upgrade our room because of the first breakfast. The game room downstairs was al lot of fun and the inn itself is great to explore.I would absolutely return for another romantic getaway but would stay in the main inn itself for the next go around.

We found the accommodations extremely comfortable and the dinner and breakfasts were delicious. I had beef and my wife had shrimp and we both enjoyed yummy homemade ice cream. The one-night stay was unbelievably valuable and memorable. All staff were very welcoming and friendly. The service was excellent. This is the best Inn we have experienced in Pennsylvania. We will highly recommend this beautiful and historic mansion to our family and friends.

The property is not transparent about its COVID-19 policies. While the rooms are lovely, I could not enjoy any of the public spaces because the staff--including the owner, front desk, and cleaning staff--were not wearing face masks. Furthermore, the cleaning staff entered in and out of private bedrooms without masks. If COVID-19 weren't occurring, this place would be a dream. It is a shame that they are lying about using state-regulated mandates.

The Mercersburg Inn exceeded all of our expectations! The pictures were beautiful but it was even better in person. The architecture of the house and the details of the room were so charming. At the same time, the room felt clean and modern and minimalist compared to a lot of bed & breakfasts. The service and food were wonderful and the town was charming! Highly recommend!

Darla at the front desk was friendly and very helpful. The Inn is lovely, and each room is different and interesting. We enjoyed the game room in the basement and sitting in the beautiful gardens. Complimentary water and cookies in the room. Restaurant hours are limited, but they accommodated us with some wonderful desserts in the parlor. The Tidd room has an enormous balcony. The only negative is some street noise, as it’s close to the main road. We will definitely stay here again and hope to arrive in time for dinner the next time!

We had a Wonderful Time!!! The Food was Amazing. Some of the best food ever. Try the escargot appetizer and the salmon entree. The service was perfect. Breakfast was so lovely. We had tons of fun playing pool in the basement. Beds were so comfortable!! Highly recommend this lovely spot !!

Lovely location. Especially if going to Whitetail

Always lovely to stay at The Mercersburg Inn! We stayed in room 1 this time and the bed was heavenly!

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with welcoming warmth from the owners and other staff. The chairs surrounding the raging fireplace was a focal point when we first walked in. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace with some seasonal drinks. We booked a lovely room which had a comfortable king size bed, a nice sitting area and fireplace. This is an Inn that was built almost 110 years ago with luxurious furniture and setting. The linens, bed covers and towels were pristine white. The room was very clean and spotless. The housekeeping staff did a fine job. The breakfast was excellent! We had mushroom and spinach quiches with bacon and they were absolutely delicious. The server was nice and attentive. Homemade granola and cake were yummy! Dinner was fabulous. The server, Emma was very nice. We had duck and salmon and they were great! They were the best meals which we have ever had at a Bed and Breakfast. When we checked out, we got a travel gift bag with bottled water and some snacks. They have thought of everything. We cannot wait to come back to the Inn. I highly recommend the Mercersburg Inn. If you want a truly memorable experience that takes you back in time try a visit.

We arrived excitedly but were hugely disappointed by every aspect of this hotel. The front office lady was impersonal at best. No greeting, no introduction, no asking if we needed anything or if they could help us arrange anything -- this is a bed & breakfast right? Hotel is very old and it smells old. Worse of all, the room is filthy. We had old food scrapes laying around, the carpet is 100 years old caked with dirt that they haven't cleaned for ages. Bedding is old and run down, everything smelled uncleaned. We were situated in a room above a garage with an extremely steep stairs going up to it. The front lady offered zero help nor did they have anyone there to help with you luggage. What if it was an old couple having to carry their luggage upstairs? Mine you it was 20 degrees, dark and sleeting. Like I said, zero assistance. I am not even sure how this hotel is rated as a 4 star. The level of quality, appeal, cleanliness, service is equivalent to a 2 star at best. We paid $300/night. It's absurd! Like I said, their reviews must be fake.

Very attractive and interesting old house, but very thin walls. If your neighbors are loud you will hear every word. Breakfast was good, but pretty slow. We had to rush to check out in time because we were waiting for breakfast for so long. Only 15 min drive from Whitetail ski resort. Be aware there is no elevator.

This is a beautiful building that is well decorated. I love the charming rooms but it is quite expensive to stay. The breakfast is less than expected and includes a lot of sweet food. If you prefer savory choices, there isn’t much for you to eat. Additionally, the stairs make it cumbersome to get in and out of your room. The garden is lovely and the parking is convenient.

Bathroom sink was a bit too small.

We liked the historical nature of the Inn. A striking columned home high on a village overlook. Lots of porches and flowers. The grounds could use some attention, however, in terms of weeding and deadheading.

Charming property. They could use a hand getting the grounds into tip-top shape. The bones are wonderful. We visited in late July and though the room had a window AC unit, it was still warm. The rest of the home is not entirely air conditioned so it felt like visiting a rich aunt in earlier times! The breakfast was personalized and served in a lovely porch area. Even if you have a short stay, visit the basement - it is a playland for the kids and grown ups too!

Wonderfully well kept mansion, entirely charming with plenty of places to relax and/or entertain oneself throughout. We hit an off weekend when the restaurant and bar staff were away, but are keen to return sometime soon to enjoy the full experience. It's a fairly perfect way stop on a longer journey, and will definitely be utilizing it again.

So clean, incredible staff, delightful breakfast at this majestic property. Will go back just to stay here again!

One of the most genuine traditional mansions of 19th century converted into a wonderful boutique hotel. The ambiance is amazing and takes you “somewhere in time”. The owner is extremely hospitable and the staff are great. Really loved staying here!

Beautiful historic property and a convenient location to Mercersburg Academy.

Such a beautiful and historic Inn! Lots of little touches in the decor such as an old fashioned phone, needles and thread left in a pin cushion. We had what I believe is the smallest room (Lavendar Room) and it was as large as a typical hotel room. The bathroom was nice with a large shower and a unique sink and cabinet. We enjoyed our stay here!

Very friendly staff.

The inn was beautiful. The rooms were well kept and the beds amazing. There was a lot of noise from traffic going by but I don’t know how the inn itself can control that. A family member that was staying there played white noise and they were not bothered by it at all.

The home and carriage house are lovely and furnished in old European style. Bedding was superb and the bathroom was spacious and had updated fixtures. Very nice, simple breakfast and fun old fashioned game room downstairs. I’d definitely stay there again after a day of skiing at White Tail.

Beautiful inn. Great service and food. Exceeded expectations.

Tha Mercersburg Inn was delightful. We felt as though we had been transported back to a more luxurious and gentile era. Everyone on staff was very friendly and accommodating. We are already planning our return trip.

Comfortable place to stay in an area without much choice.

A lovely place to stay. I highly recommend it.

Amazing great food and the service was great. Checking in was a breeze, they even saved me money compared to the online price!! The room was spotless and amazing!!!! The grounds were beautiful!!!

I'm so glad my B&B search online featured this beautiful Inn. We were looking for a place within a 2 hour drive of DC and this lovely location was perfect! The on site restaurant offers fine dining and is not to be missed.

It's somewhere between a B&B and a small hotel. Immaculate, quiet, gorgeous, friendly, accommodating. The bar is charming.

Amazing Experience. Will stay again. Nice area with lots of history.

Flowers, cake, minister, champagne toast, romantic dinner, beautiful garden setting, lovely photos, and wonderful room, all made our wedding day a memory to cherish. The staff was excited for us and couldnt be nicer. The mansion is beautifully maintained and was a step back in time. Thank you to Tomi and her staff for the most wonderful time.

My husband and I loved our getaway to the Mercersburg Inn. It was so charming and the food was exquisite. I loved the linens in our room and the whirlpool. Everything was exceptionally clean. Our dinner was gourmet and the staff surprised us with writing Happy Anniversary in chocolate around our scrumptious dessert . The bread is made on the premises as is the ice cream. The next morning we had French toast with custard. I have no idea how they made it, but it was to die for! I am very particular about the dining atmosphere and table linens and dishes. I also come from a long line of good cooks. Everything was beautiful and exceptionally clean and well presented. The music was also relaxing and romantic. We had a wonderful time. The town is charming and surrounding mountains and country side gorgeous. You should go!

A beautiful old home turned into an inn. Rooms are large and comfortable but bathrooms were somewhat creatively installed in order to have one in each room. Bathrooms were utilitarian and cramped.

Went to school at the Academy and remember such a nice, but old Inn. My parents always stayed there when they came to visit and I would come to the Inn for most of the meals while they were on site. the rooms are still spacious and clean, just as they were! the bar area has changed and has become more of a sitting room and a place for a stand-up conversation as there seems to be fewer (3 I think) tables. all in all the rooms and facilities were just as I remembered. We enjoyed them for sure. My issue is the food. I always remember getting breakfast with my parents. it was great and I could get most anything I wanted. While not a 'child' I did not have to eat from a specific, one choice, meal. the food we got during our stay was not child, kid, or young adult friendly at all. no options, not even a couple of scramble eggs for the grandchildren we were showing the Academy to for the weekend. for the very high price, we had to spend nearly $1,000. for a Friday and sat night one bedroom stay, not worth it to have to go to also go out for breakfast. I miss the convenience, the tradition and the prior ownership. will most likely not be returning.

We had an amazing time and spontaneously stayed for a second night as we loved it so much! The house is incredibly pretty and in amazing condition. Everything was so well decorated, clean and friendly! Most exceptional stay in a very long time, would have loved to stay longer!

Our 7:45 dinner reservation arrived and we were serviced by the same man who made our drinks, who clearly wanted nothing to do with us or wanting to be at work. He made no effort in small conversation, his expression was as if we were not wanted there. The dinner option was very limited, and we couldve gotten a better meal at a local diner for half the cost. After dinner we proceeded to our room which was also hot and uncomfortable we did not sleep at all, while my son room was freezing. The shower went on in the middle of the night full blast for about 5 minutes then turned off on its own. By morning my husband and I were looking forward to breakfast and leaving, after all you check into a B&B for the exceptional breakfast. To our dismay, we had One option, a fluffy French toast and 2 pieces of bacon. We had to serve ourselves coffee. I wish Foxfield Inn was available because honestly we had 3 course breakfast meal and a nice room with a nice hot tub for 250.00 than the 458.27 I paid for such a dismal, unpleasant Bed & Breakfast. We will not be returning to the Mercersburg Inn.

We came to Mercersburg for a Stone House Tour and needed a place to stay for the weekend. We found the Mercersburg Inn and we enjoyed every minute we were there. The room was very comfortable, attractive, and very clean. The dinner and breakfasts we had there were elegant and everyone we met was helpful and friendly. We wish it was closer then 7 hours to our home.

Gorgeous inn and outstanding staff! It was a perfect place to celebrate a birthday and visit Gettysburg. We had an amazing dinner at the Inn. We stayed in the Dressing Room (#2). Loved the balcony where we enjoyed our morning coffee and evening wine. Loved the history of the Byron family and enjoyed seeing their photos in the dining room. Innkeepers Jim and Lisa were wonderful along with their staff. We are ready for a second visit!

What an incredible experience! The hospitality was professional, welcoming, and extremely accommodating. The staff were kind, attentive, and made sure that all of our needs were met. The breakfast was beyond words (numerous offerings made for a delectable experience)! The room was refreshing, and one of the best nights of sleep we have ever had. We highly recommend you go out of your way to stay at the Mercersburg Inn! You will not regret your decision.

After a lovely drive we came upon this beautiful gem in Mercersburg. Perched on the hill and enclosed in dramatic pine and sweeping lawn the home beckons. Our room was so special with such attention to fine details of decoration without being overdone. It was so special to be actually staying in such a historic place usually the type that you just get to visit. We enjoyed a walk through the academy and visited a very nice State Park close by. Our dinner was delicious and breakfast was so pleasant out on the porch. So thankful that the innkeepers have opened their home and shared in this beautiful inn. Hope to be back next Fall.

Awesome says it all. I accidently stumbled onto this magnificent old hotel at 11:00PM and had no idea what to expect when I rang the door bell. I was greeted by one of the nicest most interesting lady's I have ever met. Her name is Lisa and she made me feel like her and her husband Jim had been waiting all day for me. It was like stepping back into time with a touch of true class. The rooms are each very unique, some with private balcony's. The rooms do not have a TV and I thank God for that. They are equipped with Wi-Fi if you really need to be on your computer. The entire hotel is so immaculate and squeaky clean it makes you smile. The sheets are so crisp they smell fresh-air dried like my mother did when I was a kid. The prices are fair, the staff is their when you need them and not when you don't. I took a lot of pictures because I knew no one would believe what I found. I can't wait to come back again with my wife and best friends so they can share this experience. The town is very historic and it even has an ice cream shop called Just-In Time. This is not just a nice place to stay, it is a magnificent experience. Thank you Jim and Lisa.

Sadly, we were not able to enjoy dinner there, but the breakfast was spectacular and the homemade granola superb. The Innkeepers were delightful to talk with and we look forward to returning in the future.

The INN is a wonderfully restored and kept mansion. Each room was restored and decorated with great thought and detail and in keeping with it's early 1900's origin. It was very enjoyable to browse through each uniquely decorated room. The owners were very engaging and we found it easy to break into conversation. Our breakfast was fruit, coffee, juice, a warm breakfast cake and a delicious goas cheese tart. It was a 10! We will definitely be back.

My husband and I stay at the Mercersburg Inn every year for our anniversary. It is an amazing experience every time. The Inn is a tranquil beautiful getaway for us. The rooms all have there unique touches. Nice and clean! Dining at Byron's dining room is always a treat. The food is delicious! The staff and owners make us feel like special guests. Thank you Marcersburg Inn!

My wife and I stayed at the Inn for a getaway weekend. What a lovely weekend! The owners were very accommodating. The room was so nice. The bed, pillows, and sheets were amazing. Even the towels were soft and amazing! The attention to detail was well noticed by my wife and I. We had the privilege of dining at the Inn as well! It was a perfect end to our day with a superb dining experience. Yum! We can't wait to return again as soon as we can!!!

We have stayed here many times over the past few years and love it more each time. Beautiful accommodations, warm and helpful staff and we always have the most delicious dinner at the restaurant. Just an awesome place which I wouldn't have any hesitation to recommend. We will be back again and again! I honestly can't say enough good things about this place.

Jim and Lisa were wonderful hosts and the king upgrade was so thoughtful and such a comfortable room. I only wish we had another night there. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed exploring the grand third floor rooms afterward. Our traveler's to-go pack was a nice send-off touch and it came in handy too! Jim and Lisa, you have a very special way to make travelers comfortable in your beautiful historic home.

Four of us spent a wonderful three nights there and were more than satisfied!! The staff are exceptionally helpful, the rooms are beautiful and immaculately kept. The included breakfast was amazing. Mercersburg itself is pleasing and relaxed -- and this Inn fits right in to that atmosphe. We will be back again soon for another relaxing weekend!

We stayed for our Anniversary in the Romantic Retreat and had an amazing dinner in Byron's Dining Room! The McCoy's and their staff exceeded our expectations!! We will definitely be back! Desi & Cory

I booked their two most expensive rooms for my bridesmaids and I this past July for my wedding weekend. We also had our rehearsal dinner held at this Inn. I was immediately met with an incredibly rude receptionist. The wait staff at our rehearsal dinner were so rude to my entire family that I was mortified. I even heard them talking about my family afterward because they were upset when one of the children needed to use the bathroom. I went outside to take some pictures and some of the wait staff were outside smoking during our dinner. Even the owner and his wife were completely rude to me and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. I found out later it was all because we didn't book more rooms when I asked the receptionist if we had done something to make everyone so rude. I have never been treated in such a way in my life any where. And I will never return to this establishment.

I recently spend one night at the Mercersburg Inn. It is a beautiful, historic mansion converted to an inn. I spent a quiet summer mid-week night in a perfectly appointed and comfortable room. I was able to peek in the other rooms which were all unique and beautiful. The Inn host was informative and friendly. A delicious breakfast exceeded my expectations. The hosts sent us off with leftover quiche and a few other goodies for our day. I would love to return for a special event weekend.

Great time with friends former visit.

was exceptional. Food was mediocre, to salty for our taste. The carriage house was similarly well appointed. All in all a very nice overnight.

My fiancée and I will be getting married at the inn in March and has never been there before so we went for a night to view the inn and meet with the innkeepers to go over details of the wedding. Jim has gone out of his way to arrange meetings with vendors and assist in the planning whenever we need. Our room was beautiful and spacious. Everything from the food to the grounds were beyond expectations! We cannot wait for our wedding!!!

Recent renovations in keeping with the style and age of this Inn make it a wonderful place to stay for a night or a few days. A full breakfast is included in the room price which moderates the room pricing; a plesant surprise. The Inn provides clean, well kept rooms, several common rooms on the ground floor and basement. If you are in the Mercersburg area, this Inn is well worth considering.

My wife and I stayed here while vending at a nearby historical event. The place is spectacular and the staff is attentive, professional, and friendly. The owner came around at dinner and chatted with us too. Highly recommended.

George & Barbara

Did not have the opportunity to Dine at the Inn as I was only there for one night. The aromas emanating from the kitchen were wonderful!!

Very clean and comfortable accommodations. The staff is friendly and the dining excellent.

Won't be going back! Beyond disappointing, especially the food.

This is a beautiful Inn. We were in town for a wedding and didnt get an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy our stay for we were not at the Inn very long. We had a lovely surprise when we arrived. They had upgraded our room for us! Hopefully we will get an opportunity in the future to visit again. Thank you for such a smooth and hassle free stay in this gorgeous building.

Our room was spacious and very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. We only stayed one night and it was worth it.

Felt like we were nickel and dimed - $10 charge to make up fold out couch when there was already a cot in the room.....................nice but pricey for the middle of nowhere.

The Mercersburg Inn is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting the Mercersburg, PA area. It is a beautiful historic home located right in town. Some of the rooms are very expensive, but the less extravagant rooms are lovely as well. They serve a wonderful breakfast every morning which is included in your room rate. Byron's Restaurant is also open in the evening on weekends for dinner. We had a delicious dinner there the first night of our stay.
