Charming get away

It is so cute. We stayed in the Rapidan. It was lovely but the bathroom could use some updating. The exterior needs help which is sad because it is both historical and charming. Hopefully they will get an investor to help and make it into a wedding venue to bring in additional money. The staff is beyond helpful and nice. We would stay there again.

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!
