The resort is OUTSTANDING!!! The food is of such a quality that it cannot be compared to anything else. The rooms are the most incredible that one could ever even desire for. This is the end all location where one gets the best of the best in every sense of the word!!! Don't even hesitate to book here. P.S. The little town of Shepherdsville is very cozy. Please venture out.

A great old world dining and lodging experience overlooking the Potomac River. Our deluxe room in one of the chalets was beautifully appointed with a fireplace that really heated the room and a luxurious jacuzzi tub. We had dinner in the dining room (the Ratskeller has the same menu but is more casual) with a menu featuring both American and German specialties. Dinner was delicious and the service excellent. Breakfast was equally good with a great menu. Service in the hotel is friendly and professional.

We stayed in winter. We had the river view rooms, which was very nicely appointed, with apples waiting for us. Would be a better stay in the summer, when you could use the balcony, tennis court, etc.

The only negative was that to get to the rooms you have to go through a pretty dingy corridor, a real contrast to the nice interior of the room itself.

So my husband and I were going to do some rafting and hiking in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. While we love being in the field getting dirty all day, we want an upscale hotel with all the amenities for night. It appeared the options were limited and I settled on the Bavarian Inn in Sheperdstown. My first impression when we arrived was that we wandered into the Swiss Alps and Heidi or Pippi or someone with clogs would be wandereing the grounds. The check in room was musty with old decorations. I started apologizing to my husband . But when we went to our room, I felt I was in a luxurious, modern hotel, big, comfortable bed , flat screen tv, up to date and sizeable bathroom with a balcony overlooking the Potomac. Could not have asked for anything more. Dont be fooled by bavarian theme outside, would absolutely stay here again.
