The Mercersburg Inn

My sister got married at the Mercersburg Inn, a former mansion for a local family, a truly elegant location and beautiful experience. The owners and their staff were very attentive. The wedding occurred in the dead of the winter, so it must be even more exquisite in the spring/summer with the garden and trees in bloom. It was great to have the ceremony, the cocktail hour (cute bar area), the reception, and stay all in the same fabulous place. The Wedding party, family, and some friends were lucky enough to stay in the unique and elegant rooms, all with names and with the most comfortable beds and sitting areas (and pin cushions). Full breakfasts created by their chef were served on the weekend...delicious...blueberry coffee cake, blintzes, spinach feta quiche, banana cream cake, etc. Our rehearsal dinner's pasta and meatballs had an authentic sauce that was almost as good as our nunny's sauce/meatballs. and delicious tiramisu for dessert. And for the wedding reception there were up to 5 delicious entrees to choose from. Very dramatic to have my sister and dad enter the ceremony in a large, curved staircase.

Their dining area is also open for dinner and breakfast on the weekends (barring a big event like a wedding : )

If you truly want to get away from it all in--no tv in your room, just one in the game room-- and not stay in your normal chain hotel please try this place. Near a ski resort and parks, as well as antique stores and historic attractions. They also seem to have special event weekends throughout the year....like cooking lessons, etc. It is a beautiful change of pace.

I loved the place as a whole. It was beautiful and enjoyed the history of the building. I'd have to say the staff were really incredibly accomodating and nice. The owner didn't get along well with one of our friends who stayed with us who happens to be a French Moroccan wheeler and dealer- a fantastic price negotiator. For the duration of our weekend's stay she kept pouring his scotches 1/4 of the way. It was amusing to watch. She was polite to the rest of us.

We heard some pretty creepy noises in the night as well which couldn't have come from other guests. We wondered of the possibility of hauntings but rested okay thinking / hoping the house is old and creaky (esp during the blizzard weekend when we were there).

The food is OK, not to die for, but Flannery's Tavern around the corner is amazing! Go there!!

All in all, I loved the place and will return!

My wife and I came to Mercersburg for a ski trip and decided to stay at the Inn, not knowing if it would be nice or something close to a hostel. When we arrived we were greeted very nicely by the staff and even given a little backround info on the house and it's history. We had made reservations for a ski package, and the staff was very informative and helpful, giving us directions and info on how to get us on the slopes as quickly as possible. The rooms at the Inn are very nice. We stayed in a room in the carriage house and it was great! Very nice bed, great shower, and our room even had a tub with jets! Overall it was a very nice and comfortable stay for us, and we highly recommend it. Beats staying at one of the usual hotel chains for sure!
