Meander sits in a lovely setting in the country, and the rooms/cottages are so cute, very relaxing in an area where there are many sites/activities in which to participate, if you want to be busy. But this is also a therapeutic, get-a-way setting for quiet reading/study.

Absolutely lovely estate! We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the lush and manicured landscape, watching the sunrise from the veranda. The rocking chairs got a lot of use from us. The beds are extremely comfortable and pillows are nice and fluffy too. Daniel was the most pleasant and hospitable manager whom met all of our needs. He made sure our coffee and water was well stocked. If you’re looking for a retreat in southern charm fashion, look no further. We look forward to our next visit! Thanks!

This property is a ways from the main roads, but it is a very quaint and relaxing place. If you want to learn about history and enjoy nature this is the place to come. It’s not a Hilton, so don’t expect that kind of amenities. The host/receptionist, Dan, is super helpful and knowledgeable.

The food was great, the stall friendly and helpful. Dan is doing a great job with what he has to work with. The Inn is really a diamond in the rough. It is long in the tooth and needs a little updating and rehab. Paint is peeling from the walls. Weeds are growing between the bricks of the patio and walkways. Give Dan a handyman and a few bucks and the place could be a jewel...

The place is quiet and peaceful. Keep in mind that this property is more than 200 years old. This is not for you if you cannot handle creaky floors and nature. It has a nice country touch. The staff is great. Breakfast is excellent. I highly recommend if you want to see the country side of Virginia.

Historical Getaway with Fine Dining
A one-night getaway that feels like a long weekend in a faraway time. Daniel is a true host in old-world Inn & Tavern style. Our cabin accommodations complete with wood fire in the grate, wonderful walks right out our door through the extensive Meander grounds (paths by the Robinson River) and quiet—so quiet—that we slept well & deeply. The restaurant, a one-minute walk from our door, is excellent. Both the three-course dinner (though it was fine also to order a La carte) and the breakfast are top notch. We recommend the whole experience! (My husband, who is a Civil War scholar, even found things to investigate right on the property!)

Christmas Eve stay
Cute and comfortable inn stay on a beautiful plantation property that looks over the Virginia hills. The staff was warm and hospitable for a Christmas Eve day. The property has a manicured trail that we took our dog along that made for a leisurely stroll after our delicious breakfast that is included in the inn stay night costs.

Property was beautiful. Very well maintained. It was definitely historical and old but modernized in all of the right places. Staff was very friendly, informative, and helpful. Dinner was a bit expensive but worth it. Breakfast was nice but my wife's eggs tasted more like salt than eggs. They re-made them and they were much better. Server was very polite but we had to ask for things a couple of times. I think he was new and still learning but very pleasant and helpful. We would stay here again.

It's a very old historic property that comes with all related design issues. But it's wonderful to stay here in these surroundings. The beds are comfortable, the balconies are nice to relax on and enjoy the beauty that nature has to offer. The food was excellent! But I have to say that all the staff were wonderful and very, very attentive, even on such a busy weekend that we went. such a relaxing time in a beautiful building, with great food, and wonderstaff. Would definitely recommend.

Stayed in the groom's cottage. Met w/2 live wasps in our bathroom on check-in. Requested help from guest services. No response. In the morning there were 4 more live wasps in our cottage. Talked w/GMs at breakfast to let them know that wasps were getting in. We requested help again but were met with indifference. After 3 more hours of inaction and 4 more live wasps in the cottage, we had to press the GMs a 3rd time. They finally agreed to move us to another cottage but were unable to tell us when it would be available. In addition they never offered to assist us with moving our things. The overall attitude of the GM's was terrible. They were argumentative instead of apologetic. There was no communication unless we initiated it; and, even then, they would not respond or they would be frustratingly vague. We were made to feel entirely unwelcome. The experience was so uncomfortable that we chose not to stay for the second night despite not being offered a refund. Three years ago we stayed at Meander and had a lovely time. Apparently, these GM's are new (they said they had just taken over 2 weeks prior). Beware, the current service is extremely poor and the property has fallen into disrepair. Sadly, we will not be returning.

This is a wonderful historic Virginia experience where everyone will time-slip into 1766 on this beautiful plantation. The Inn and it’s cabins are all beautifully decorated with antiques, each room is air conditioned and has a wood-burning fireplace, food is excellent, and the staff are all super nice and friendly. General Manager Jenae goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and comfortable. And let’s not forget their mascots Jojo and Bodie. The Inn is super dog friendly and all the staff love all dogs. There are several very nice wineries within 30 min. from the Inn as well. We enjoyed our stay (with our dog) thoroughly and already booked our next trip!
