We absolutely loved our stay here. We stopped last minute on our way to Michigan. It was little out of our way but well worth the detour. We were greeted by Ms. Karen, she made check in so easy after a long travel day. She gave great recommendations for dinner. Lil Charlie’s on E Pearl St is within walking distance and it’s fantastic. The room the very clean, quiet and updated. We will absolutely stay here again.
We are new to the area and needed a local place to warm up from the cold. Very cool old inn with a lot of history! Easy walking distance to a few restaurants/bars. Rooms were clean and updated and the owners were lovely and super hospitable. We will definitely be recommending The Sherman to anyone who visits us in the future! Thank you, Peyton and George!
Batesville is a nice little (German?) town right off of I74. The Sherman Inn was clean and comfortable, owned by a sweet German man. He appreciated that we called directly instead of using Expedia and granted us the same rate. Water pressure was good (wait for the hot) and my husband liked the tall bathroom sink. Would definitely return!
What a hidden gem! I stayed here for a work event in OCT. 2024 for a week. Unfortunately the bar and restaurant were not yet open, I believe the property just came under new management. The place has such a great "hand made" and feel with beautiful hand done carvings and woodwork throughout. I wish I had more reasons to go to Batesville because I would stay here every time!
This is a unique place to stay. Updated, very clean, and quiet. It is located in downtown (which is very German looking) rather than near the highway, but well worth the extra drive. We will remember this place to stay at it again.
Quirky, 173 year old Inn. No elevators, no morning breakfast, no stainless steel, no modern wallpaper. We loved our room with the 16' ceilings. Obviously there was a massive renovation to make the rooms this good. Park on the street, it's quiet. We stayed 8 days, loved it. Will do it again.
Hands down, one of my best stays anywhere. It's hard to describe because it's more of a feeling. I had a meeting nearby and that was my purpose of travel...so I didn't necessarily want to be there and it was kind of a last minute thing. But, now I'm trying to find reasons to get back. I'm in love. (Owners/operators are amazing).
We loved our stay! Our room was very clean. We talked about how we appreciated that the room had no carpet, making it feel even cleaner. Service was great! And, you are in walking distance of several good restaurants, couldn’t ask for a better location. Would recommend!
Set in a half-timbered property building in 1852, this elegant hotel is a 9-minute walk from Hillcrest Country Club and a 12-minute walk from Liberty Park.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
