The Inn & Tavern at Meander

We were warmly welcomed and treated to an exceptional dinner which we had al fresco. Great attention was given to our dietary preferences at dinner and the next morning at breakfast. Daniel is an excellent host and we felt right at home in the historical inn located in the beautiful rolling hills of Virginia. This is a perfect destination for friends' getaway/wine trip, artist retreat, romantic couples escape, history buffs exploration, and anyone who likes to wander gardens and grounds.

This place is wonderful. Dan the manger is top shelf. He knows what hospitality is! Food is the definition of gourmet. Our room “The Madison” was very comfy. Hot water 👍 very clean. If you’re looking for quiet, beauty, birds, and relaxation and more. Book a night or two you’ll love it.

The atmosphere was just what we needed. It was quiet and cozy and the fact that our room had no TV was what we needed to innovation and relax. The staff was friendly and helpful and more than willing to answer any questions we had. Being a history fan, the rich history of the property and the area was fascinating.

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.

I booked a two night stay at this historic Inn. Unfortunately it did not live up to expectations and I had to cut my stay short. The bathroom was in such bad repair and smelled like sewage that I refused to use it, which is why we chose to leave after only one night. The place has great potential and the staff is very sweet, but the place is dilapidated and in serious need of repair especially the bathroom of the Jefferson suite. Please see attached photo this is not what I would expect for a hotel charging almost 300 USD a night.

We celebrated our moms 60th Birthday here and it was wonderful. Very peaceful, serene and quiet.

I am sad about writing this review, but I emailed the owner twice in October about our September stay (email below) and he did not respond. I also completed the survey where I indicated that I would like a phone call. They did not call. Good afternoon, My name is ____ and I just returned from my 10th stay at the meander. My husband and I look forward to our yearly trip to VA and this past weekend was our 10th year. Over the past 10 years, we have seen the different staff members come and go as well as the change in ownership to you. There have been ups and downs in our stays, but we keep returning because we truly enjoy staying at your inn. This year we stayed in the newest room, the whippet cottage. The room is absolutely gorgeous. We have stayed in every outdoor cottage at the inn and this is by far the nicest one. There is, however, an issue with getting hot water in the shower. The reason I am writing to you today is to share our experience this weekend . We had breakfast on Saturday, which is always a highlight of the trip. We entered, sat down and no one came over to speak to us for 20 minutes. We brought friends with us this year as we have done numerous times over the last few years and our friend had to get up and walk into the kitchen to ask for coffee. They brought out the coffee for her and completely overlooked us again. She had to tell the waitress to give us coffee as well. There were six of us in total, two at each table, and none of us were given the yogurt and berries that are supposed to be provided first. The staff came into the dining room numerous times, and tended to other tables while completely ignoring me and my husband. As someone who has stayed now 10 times, I called when I made my reservation to ask that they add the meander loyalist discount. The person on the phone asked me to text them my name so that they would apply it to my account. Since check out is done automatically I saw my invoice once I was home the discount was taken off of my bill, so I was charged regular price. I am asking to please be refunded for the amount that my loyalist discount would have taken off. Additionally, there was an issue with the picnic lunches. I asked for a picnic lunch for two and I was given two picnic lunches with four lunches total and I was charged for that. My friend in the other room also ordered lunches and was also given double. The person taking the orders was confused and instead of packing picnic lunches for two, she doubled the order, so each of the couples ended up paying double for the picnic lunches. When my friend told her that is not what we wanted she said there was nothing she could do about it and we had to take them. I do not understand why all of us were charged double the amount when that is not what we asked for. The mixup with the lunches and the treatment that we received at breakfast really made us contemplate whether we will be returning next year for our 11th trip. I hope that you’re able to provid

The staff was very nice, however the dinner was not worth what we paid and our cottage had a musty smell. All in all glad i only booked one night.
