As others have written before, this mansion is very elegant and impressive, both in its architecture and interior design. The rooms are spacious and elegant, looking better in real life than in photographs we have viewed on the internet. However, our room (Ayres) and the Mansion as a whole, were somewhat overburdened with too many artifacts. The owners obviously want... More

My husband and I stayed here one night for our first anniversary. What a great place to spend it. We also ate at the restaurant for dinner and did the 7-course tasting menu. Each thing they brought out was so good. We felt like celebrities because of how delicious and elegant everything was and how important they treated us. Hands... More

I wish there was a separate listing for the restaurant in the Sheppard Mansion, because even if you don't stay here, you need to check out the restaurant. First, the setting is magnificent. This is our second time dining here and we were seated in the "Lady's Parlor" this time. Last time was in the "Men's Parlor." Both are beautifully... More

We visited the Sheppard Mansion in the Middle of the week on a bit of a business/pleasure trip. We only stayed one night. Our room, the Ayres Suite, was very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was huge with a great claw foot tub and a very big shower. The amenities were very nice and plentiful. There was... More

The Sheppard Mansion is still owned by the Sheppard family who have lovingly maintained this grand old home in impeccable period style. What makes a visit especially memorable is chef Andrew Little's kitchen. Try the tasting menu. Each dish is fresh, beautifully plated, and delicious! A 5-star dining experience that rivals the big cities of Washington DC and New York.

The mansion is absolutely breathtaking! The dining rooms are so beautiful and the dinner is the most luxurious I have ever had! The breakfasts (like French Toast made from croissants and the Belgian waffles with homegrown fruits) and worth the cost of the stay by themselves. The main bedroom in the suite featured an antique half-tester bed surrounded by a... More

This is truly a mansion with opulent public rooms, spacious accommodations, delightful service and truly SUPERB cuisine. We spent two nights here on trip to Gettysburg and loved everything about the mansion. The town not special but worth the 15 minute drive

We've stayed here a few times over the years. The house is beautiful-- I highly recommend stopping by for a peak during dinner.(Wed.-Sat.nights) All of the rooms are beautiful-- full of antiques and yet everything is immaculate. Everyone we met was gracious and helpful. Our breakfast hostess is a charming and delightful person. The breakfast was excellent and served almost... More

My husband and I just returned from a two-night stay at the Sheppard Mansion. We arrived on a Sunday evening and were absolutely delighted to find that we were the only two people in the mansion. (Other guests arrived later, but we never did see them -the place is so huge you can have all the privacy you want.) We... More

Unbelievably gorgeous. It looks great on thier website but looks even better in person. Everywhere you look - the walls, the ceilings, the floors - all beautiful. Our room was incredible with a HUGE bath. Everything is in excellent shape and immaculate. The breakfast room was sunny and bright and also beautifully decorated. Breakfast was wonderful. Everyone is friendly. No... More
