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.

A great getaway!

We loved our short stay at the Inn and Tavern at Meander! The grounds are peaceful and beautiful and the Washington Cottage was very cute and nicely decorated. The breakfast served at the dining room in the main house was excellent with several selections to choose from. The staff were warm, friendly, and very helpful. We'd definitely consider coming back again in the future.

The manager and staff were very nice. Property has great views. Food was good. However, this property needs a major renovation. I believe price is lower than others in area because it needs work. Also, being very pet-friendly appears to have contributed to furniture damage and dog odor in rugs.

Everything was really to my liking, and we very much enjoyed the beautiful Summer Kitchen room for our stay. The dining room waitress, and it was not a very busy dining room, was very single task oriented and not alert to customer needs. For example, she brought out coffee in a pot to pour for another table but did not look over to ours to see if we would like coffee. She could use some pointers on how to wait tables. There were only four of us in the dining room, so from an old waiter and bartender, she coulld have read the room better.

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!

I love the history behind this property. It's very quiet and peaceful, due to its setting on a beautiful 80 plus acres and its distance from the main road. Staff was very friendly and enjoyable to be around. The breakfast in the morning was very good and set the tone for the rest of the day. Only a few negatives, and both small. 1) every time we got toast, it was always hard, dry and cold. 2) In our room, only had one very small waste basket. I think of one thing that could elevate the hospitality experience, since they have a kitchen available, is to have a little cheese and cracker spread with some local wines. This would give the guests an opportunity to mingle and get to know one another. I would not hesitate coming back here, and enjoyed our stay.
