Rates & Policies
HOUSING
Several different kinds of housing are available, including cottages with porches and fireplaces or the larger Pennsylvania and Maryland Houses. The two-story, 50-room Maryland House was built in the early 1850’s. Legend claims that it served as a place for rest and recuperation for Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Both Maryland and Pennsylvania Houses have rooms with private baths. Cottages differ in size and consist of private bathrooms and shared baths. Shrine Mont follows The American Plan (1 night stay + 3 meals).
