Enjoy your stay in Mercersburg in one of our historic hotel rooms. Built around 1800, the Mansion House gained historic significance in 1856 when James Buchanan gave a speech from its 2nd-floor balcony and announced his candidacy for the 15th president of the United States. Each single room features a double bed, mini-fridge, microwave, and private bathroom. Minimal interaction with host. This historic hotel is conveniently located on center square in Mercersburg. There are three restaurants within a few steps of the hotel, and a lovely coffee shop just across the square. Whitetail Ski Resort is a 10-minute drive, and the Mercersburg Academy is just up the street.
