The Kate Shepard House

The owners and staff were amazing. The house is so full of charm and so close to a lot of things, but I would suggest having a car if you want to drive downtown, especially in inclement weather. The front porch is so sweet - rocking chairs, a place to sit down and eat. My husband and I enjoyed quiet evening playing chess, after enjoying a nice meal. The rooms are beautifully decorated in the Victorian era. We enjoyed a room that had a beautiful clawfoot soaking tub. The coffee machine is an espresso, which we really enjoyed, having access to it any time. Glasses, plates, cups, and use of the kitchen, refrigerator, toaster, silverware, sink and stove are also there for use. I really had a great experience checking in, it’s just so happened. It was Mother’s Day and our room had been ready early so we were given early access to check in. The staff is friendly, professional, and very neat. The cleanliness is absolutely of the highest standards will definitely be visiting this place again. Should we come visit the area in Mobile.

Everything

This house was amazing! It was like staying at a museum, full of historical items to look though. Felt like traveling back in time! By far the coolest place we've ever stayed. The bathroom had a huge claw-foot tub as a bonus! Would definitely recommend!

no complaints!

We loved the entire experience. The home is a historical marvel. Communication on entry process was very good. On our stay we were the only guests and had a free exploration of the whole property . The self serve features of the stay worked very well for us. Snacks , various breakfast selections, coffee (Nespresso and Pot type ) were all there for your choosing. We stayed in the Isabel room. The bed in that room was quite comfortable but it was a little high off the floor. Location is in a very charming section of Mobile. We saw a part of the city that we had not seen before.

We weren’t quite sure how to enter the parking area upon first arrival. But all got worked out quickly. Most all the bedrooms are on the 2nd floor so there is a flight of stairs to handle,. It was not a particular issue for us but it might be for some of the folks that enjoy these vintage homes.

The property itself is beautiful and the room had a lot of nice character.

I was looking to use the extra blanket in the room and found that the last occupant had left some dirty clothes behind that no one had cleaned out of the cabinet. I reached out to the hosts via text and email- using the number they gave in their welcome email. I just wanted a clean blanket. No one ever answered me… I’m not ok paying these rates for a hostless property with no service whatsoever. Thank goodness I had no trouble getting in. The kitchen was also a bit disappointing in the morning as the only tea available was a sun bleached box of white tea and the hot water dispenser was broken. But honestly, the main problem is that no one was responsive to me.
