Photo of James Buchanan Hotel

“Shabby-chic historic hotel on Mercersburg's main street. Rustic shared spaces include a convivial old-world restaurant-come-tavern, a popular bar, & a large outdoor courtyard terrace. Well-designed rooms with traditionally inspired furniture have a more modern feel. Lively base to explore the area.”
