The Kate Shepard House - Mobile, Alabama

We called on the way into Mobile and were able to get The Barber room for Saturday night. The house and the room were lovely, clean and very comfortable. Oddly, we never saw another human while we were there. Everything was quite satisfactory save the "breakfast" which consisted of a couple of Costco cookies and muffins served in their plastic containers, sweet granola bars, and sweet instant oatmeal. The Nespresso coffee was good.

We just adore this gem of a home! Always so relaxing and yet right near downtown with all the dining and fun you could want. Excellent hostess! Super comfy bed. All the comforts of home are provided.

This beautiful historic house is incredible! Took me back into 1897 with the original furnishings, dishes, and artifacts. So cozy and in a quiet neighborhood. I loved it all! Thank you, Kelly, for hosting us!

I was at the Kate Shepard House years ago when it was a B&B and that was truly an amazing experience.

The current owners clearly have no intention of keeping that magic.

Multiple light bulbs out everywhere, signs of cleaning off, broken window in my room, and the kitchen was abysmal in terms of finding things and content. Just lack of attention to detail and maintenance. Why not just stay in a nice hotel? There’s no advantage here and yes, it matters.

I wasn’t comfortable with security (poor locks) because anyone could knock that door in. I don’t think, could be wrong, that the site doesn’t cover no one on site.

No coffee left out for guests and no expectation to bring “your own”. There was an espresso machine but the pastries were all pre-packaged things and really basic stuff.

Just not what it used to be and not clearly enough defined as you’re just staying in an old house.

Snarky responses from the owner to 1 star reviews are telling and I didn’t just write all this because I was bored, just disappointed.

We loved our stay in this beautifully maintained historic home in Mobile Alabama. Kate Shepard is my great aunt and I am so thankful that this family home is still available for folks to experience for themselves. We plan to visit again soon!

An amazing house with tons of character & we were welcomed in a very charming & warm way! We love all the details in this magic villa, from the veranda with rocking chairs, the grand piano & beautiful kitchen (w Nespresso), to the cozy bed room with plenty of lights & a classic bath tub. All you can wish for & highly recommended!

The house is beautiful inside/outside. Updates were well thought out. Neighborhood and location are quiet and close to restaurants. We were just passing through and wished we could have stayed longer.

Such a beautiful and unique place to stay! I wish there were more places like this with history, character, and yet having all the necessary amenities.

The host and property manager were super friendly and gave great dining recommendations! 😌

P. S. A huge plus for us was that they are pet-friendly!
