Rathskeller - Shepherdstown

After hearing the rooms that were dated, I was hesitant to stay, but we splurged for my birthday. I was very pleasantly surprised. Yes, the property is not brand new, but it has a certain charm. Our room was clean and without any dirty smells or anything. We loved the hot tub and enjoyed great water pressure. The small terrace balcony was great to sit at night and see the sun rising in the morning. I appreciate that the pool opens at 8 a.m., offers an opportunity to swim in the tranquility of the morning before it gets crowded. The grounds are well maintained and the reception was helpful and polite. I'll stay here again.

The Food and drinks are excellent! The service is very good. Our server Darla did a great job taking care of our table. The location is very nice. Only downside is the rooms are a bit old, outdated and not very clean. There was hair in the tub. There were some cob webs behind our bedroom door. The wall paper was peeling. Given the high cost of the rooms, the rooms definitely need to be renovated. I plan to come back for the food and atmosphere but not to stay.

We stayed for an evening after attending a great fundraiser and everything was great. The check-in was simple, room and facility very clean, and the little extras put it over the top. Our meal was fantastic and the bar was loaded with top shelf bourbon selections as well as the Bavarian Bros Brewery beers. Make sure you spend some time over looking the river from the infinity pool as well. We will be back again for a local staycation very soon!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bavarian Inn and Resort. We stayed in a suite with a jacuzzi tub. The first thing I did was run the tub to ensure the jets were clean and not full of gunk they were clean!!! Huge plus, because I've been to places where the jets spit brown and black stuff out. Blah! I thought the robes in the room were perfect. Another great touch! My hubby had a cheese and charcuterie board waiting for us in the room. It was delicious and a nice surprise! The fireplace was wonderful. The food in the restaurant was all delicious. No complaints! I was ecstatic that they had gluten free cream of crab soup. I almost jumped in glee when I saw that on the menu!!! Overall we will definitely return, however, I think when the weather is a bit warmer!

The Inn was across the bridge from a bike trail. This was part of a bike tour I was on. The rooms had been renovated recently. The outdoor decks overlooked the Potomac River. The infinity pool with a bar was lovely. The grounds had beautiful plantings. We ate dinner and breakfast the dining room was spacious with great views. Meals were good.
