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.

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!

We enjoyed the Inn, the breakfast was delicious. The only thing was the living room was undergoing repairs/construction from a leak and this room was not useable which was unfortunate.

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.

Its a great quiet and serene place to escape to, less than 2 hours from DC. It happened to be dog friendly which was perfect for our needs. Many wineries and restaurants nearby. Onsite dining was excellent for dinner and breakfast.

Pictures of property are deceiving. Furniture was worn and sparse, not even a chair to sit in to put shoes on. It was quiet and bed was comfortable enough and the AC worked well. Served the purpose to visit family in nearby Culpeper.

Lovely historic property. Sofas need updating as well as some chairs. Bed was very comfortable and linens were excellent. Shower was excellent. Bathroom needs new seat and small table would help beside sink. Overall we would love to return in the fall.
