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.

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!

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.

The owner supplied condiments, snacks, juice, etc. There were fresh cookies! All necessary kitchen supplies, pots, silverware pans etc. were clean and available. Modern appliances! Everything worked.
The location was adequate for our visit to Mobile. It was conveniently located near most of the good restaurants in the city.
The neighborhood was safe and pleasant. Neighbors were friendly. This is an 1889 Victorian home with a good library and many historical elements of interest. The bed was particularly comfortable. The large, claw-foot bathtub is a unique experience. This was the best stay of our 30 day multistate tour. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Beautiful house. Comfortable bed. Nice linens. None of those awful duvets that are too hot. Lovely dining room and sitting room. Fun and safe to walk around the quiet neighborhood and look at the gorgeous homes, although Kate Shepard House is the most stunning of all. We walked to and ate dinner at Nixon's. Surprisingly good food for a sports bar. It was so kind of the host to allow us to use the golf cart to get groceries. Good communication. Easy access with keypad, although the directions in the video are wrong. Mardi Gras in Mobile is fabulous. I have never seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and don't want to, but I am glad I serendipitously saw the family-friendly version in Mobile.

A beautiful house in a very nice area.

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

Beautifully restored Victorian home! Lots of treats and coffee available.

Well maintained historical house, so many interesting artifacts inside

Location was great. Wish we’d had more time to explore immediate environs.

Excellent stay with outstanding communication from the host, who provided very clear and helpful instructions via email before arrival. Instructions, guidance, and useful touristic information are thoughtfully placed throughout the house, making everything easy and enjoyable. The rooms are very clean and well maintained, and the whole house has a warm, welcoming vibe and atmosphere. The house itself is truly special—staying there feels like living in a museum, full of character, history, and unique details. The location is excellent as well. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates authentic places with a story.

Beautiful facility, room very comfortable, quiet, used kitchen equipment for Christmas dinner.

The house was very clean and generally comfortable. It was also peaceful despite there being other guests in the house. I was there to visit my daughter who attends ASMS. The location was perfect for me because it was so close to the school. The ASMS Winter Formal was being held the night of my stay. My daughter wanted me to take some pictures of her and her best friend in their dresses before they headed off the event. The house ended up being so cute that we took pictures there before heading off to the park she wanted to go to.

Extraordinarily furnished and charming decor.
