Thomas Shepherd Inn

This B&B is the epitome of gracious southern living. Immaculately clean and spacious rooms, comfortable beds and modern bathroom, beautiful gardens and fantastic food! New owners Joe and Melissa are great. I really like their motto: come as a stranger, leave as a friend. This is exactly how we felt-we were visiting friends in their lovely civil war era home. All restaurants were within easy walking distance, and the bike trail was a short distance away. I love the upper back balcony and the birds eye view of the garden. The Inn is bike friendly, as is the town.

We will be back!!!

This Inn is a gem of Shepherdstown. The new owners have completed a host of renovations with it being beautifully decorated to make it feel most warm and inviting. It’s the perfect blend of old world charm with the modern fixtures you expect in a nice hotel.

I stayed at the Thomas Shepherd Inn while riding the C&O Towpath. Joe and Melissa (the new owners) were super accommodating, generous, and gracious despite a couple of hiccups I caused. I enjoyed the thought they put into the decor. The entire inn is decorated with local pictures and interesting historical information. The breakfast was terrific. They feed you!

I would revisit Shepherdstown to stay here again.

Just loved our stay at the Thomas Shepherd Inn. Great location, walkable to everything. Joe and Melissa could not have been more accommodating. Our room was very comfortable with all amenities. And breakfast, delicious.

My wife and I were biking the C&O Canal and had a lovely one-night stay at the Thomas Shepard Inn. The entire house was as splendid as the hosts. We have already recommended it to our friends in the DC area.

In a town with more than its share of charm and elegance, this inn is the crown jewel. The property is gorgeous, the location couldn't be more convenient, breakfast was delightful, and Melissa and Claudia were warm and genuine. Make sure to take a moment to appreciate the wonderful landscaping and to close out the evening with a complementary glass of sherry in the beautiful sitting room. We'll definitely be back!

The Inn was recently renovated and is bright, clean and comfortable. New owners Melissa and Joe are super nice and fixed us an amazing breakfast each morning. We ate with other guests which allowed us to share places we visited and restaurants we enjoyed. No TVs in the rooms but plenty of places to read, talk and share a glass of sherry, coffee tea or apple cider always available. Plus you can walk to everything in The town. We celebrated our 20th anniversary and highly recommend for couples wanting a get away. Just over an hour from our home outside DC.

After experiencing a problem with our room and some of the amenities during our stay overnight on Nov 12th, I posted a negative review. The owners contacted me directly within hours, apologized sincerely, described exactly how they were going to quickly and completely resolve the specific issues of our complaint, and offered excellent service recovery. So, I am changing my review to 4 stars. Aside from the aforementioned issues, everything else about our stay was excellent and as-advertised. The inn is beautiful and in great condition, it is immaculately clean, and the location is excellent. I hope that we can come back another time and I am confident we’ll have a great experience!
