George F. Barber designed the most amazing homes and this is one beauty! The history that spins around the home is fun, lively and historically very important (!) as Inn Keeper Wendy will explain. It's all quite fascinating! There are MANY original items in the home and the stay is very comfortable from the furnishings, to the bed, to the... More

If you want to experience true Southern Hospitality, stay at The Kate Shepard House Bed and Breakfast. The Inn Keeper and owner is a wonderful hostess and superb cook. Her knowledge of the historic house and Mobile, as well as her interest in learning about her guests, made our seven day stay a fun, memorable and relaxing vacation. We left... More

She was mind enough to let a friend of mine who lives locally join us for breakfast Sunday. We are so ready to drive back to Mobile for another weekend here! She took care of our Saturday... More

Great southern hospitality at a wonderful historic house ... Very relaxing. Escape with ur companion to a slower time in old mobile home and enjoy fantastic breakfast . Never heard the ghost and super quite room.

Staying at the Kate Shepard B&B was the perfect ending to our trip around the south. Wendy, the owner, was the epiphany of the perfect southern hostess. She is such a friendly and lovely person. We only stayed one night so we requested her famous pecan praline french toast and, wow, they really lived up to all the praise! You... More

The B&B is pet friendly and Wendy... More

Stayed for 6 days in Dec 2012. This home is filled with history, comfort, and great food. Thanks Wendy for your excellent hospitality. With your help, our vacation to Mobile was much more than expected, and without your help, we would not have found such delightful local restaurants.

Wendy is the most hospitable of hostesses, and truly makes one... More
