Remarkable Revalutionary and Civil War history. The grounds between the Inn and the river need some tender loving care; one small wooden bridge was left out of place; maybe from the last time they mowed and invasive plants such as garlic mustard are starting to move in.

Wonderful getaway!

A lovely getaway at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Very relaxing and enjoyable - the staff was beyond accommodating and friendly as well. Dinner at the restaurant was equally as enjoyable. The hostess and Chef made it a wonderful experience and meal. A quiet getaway. We’ll go back.

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.
