Circa 1909. Situated on a hill overlooking the Tuscorora Mountains, the valley and village, this 20,000-square-foot Georgian Revival mansion was built for industrialist Harry Byron. Six massive columns mark the entrance, which opens to a majestic hall featuring chestnut wainscoting and an elegant double stairway and rare scagliola (marbleized) columns. All the rooms are furnished with antiques and reproductions. A local craftsman built the inn's four-poster, canopied king-size beds. Many of the rooms have their own balconies and a few have fireplaces. Thursday through Sunday evening, the inn's chef prepares noteworthy, elegant dinners, which feature an array of seasonal specialties.

We stayed at the elegant Mercersburg Inn in Autumn and the trees on the grounds were gorgeous! The "Romantic Retreat" was a cozy room with a fireplace and jacuzzi and a soft, luxurious bed. We enjoyed the large game room and the breakfasts were delicious! We decided to have dinner there one evening and the meal was excellent! We will definitely be back!

We have done several military weddings over the years, many of them bitter-sweet when they are followed by a deployment. For active duty military members we offer 20% discount on all rooms - anytime.

International Wine And Food Weekends
Dr. Tom Anderson and Dave Simon have a vast knowledge and love of wines. Or, as they put it "we drink alot of wine". During these weekends they will lead us through a late afternoon tasting of 6 wines from a specific country or region, explaining the history and flavors of the wines we sample. They will show us how foods can change the taste of the wines. Dr. Tom will also comment from a medical perspective, the health benefits of wine.
