If you enjoy history, you will love staying on this wonderful historic estate. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the patio and looking out at the view with the mountains, the excellent breakfast, the friendly staff, and the charming cottage room with a real antique feel in spite of the necessary bathroom addition and very comfortable bed.

I loved that we got to stay in a whole colonial, well-appointed, immaculate house by ourselves. I loved the staff, that went out of its way. The grounds are beautiful, as are the accommodations. I didn't like my breakfast, a "sandwich" made from a croissant, some flavorless cheese, a fried egg and overcooked, very salty bacon. No garnishes. Croissant was second-rate. Should have had tomato or greenery. Caused us to cancel our dinner reservation. Other than that, the staff was amazing, as were the grounds and the accommodations.

Excellent stay

We were driving cross country and made the Inn and Tavern at Meander one of our stops. They were so accommodating with our late check in and providing us with a picnic dinner basket, even though it was after hours. We stayed to enjoy breakfast and had some of the best dishes - the French toast and eggs Benedict. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will be back!

Meander is Magic!

Our stay at Meander was magical! There was an issue with the cottage we had originally booked, but were seamlessly transferred to a different room. Learning about the history of the home from Daniel was a delight. Dinner and breakfast at the on property restaurant were both so incredibly delicious!

Outstanding Value with Great History

Charming Inn with a ton of history. Books in the room detailing background of the estate are definitely worth reading. Wonderful breakfast cooked to order. We stayed in the Groom cottage and like all the accommodations it was fascinating. Staff was unable to get the fireplace to work and they were kind enough to give us a discount for our trouble

Surprising find in rolling Virgina hills

What a great surprise. Found this by browsing for accommodations while passing through the area. It’s a beautiful, historic Inn with excellent breakfast included. A fine dining restaurant is available in the evening. We stayed in one of the 8 cottages surrounding the main house. Property is beautiful with hiking trails and even a historic cemetery. Staff was friendly and accommodated requests. Highly recommend! We will go out of our way to return in the futur.

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!

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...

Interesting Stay

The Inn is a marvelous historic home with beautiful views and grounds. We stayed in the Jefferson room in the main house so I have no idea about the rest of the accommodations. Our room was large with two double beds and a bathroom that was entered from the hall, but there were no other rooms on the second floor so it wasn't a problem. The entire property is in need of significant maintenance, restoration and renovation. I would rate the accommodations a three star. There is a new general manager who I hope will convince the owners that renovating the property will be a good investment because the house is a real national treasure. The menu selections and food preparation were beyond excellent. As far as I was concerned the evening meal was on a par with the Inn At Little Washington. All of the staff that I interacted with were friendly, competent and helpful.

Cottage smelled horrible, damp and moldy. Spoke to the young lady about it but she basically threw up her arms. We left and went the store to buy a Febreeze defuser. Half of the plugs didn't work so we had to move furniture to get to a working outlet. There was a mouse trap behind the nightstand. The shower floor appeared moldy both inside and out.The property was beautiful but rundown. The young man who served us breakfast was wonderful. Parker engaged everyone and was kind and professional. In fact he was the only person working there who spoke to us the entire time other than the young lady who checked us in. Our last evening there we were watching the sunset, however, there was a great deal of shooting going on somewhere near the property. While I realize there's no control over another property, it did definitely damaged our calm. Overall I could not recommend this place.
