Beautiful old Inn. We had a lovely time sitting outside enjoying a bottle of wine and the views. The beds were very comfortable and the entire place was very clean. I will definitely be back! Dinner was also delicious.

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.

What a wonderful weekend we had in the Summer Kitchen at the Inn & Tavern at Meander. You first enter through the white brick columns and make you way up the driveway to the striking home at the top of the knoll that immediately transports you back in time. Our cottage was used as the kitchen for the main house 200 plus years ago and has been transformed to a well appointed spacious living space with modern conveniences and the most comfortable bed that gave us the best night's sleep. Dinner and breakfast were made order and so delicious. We were greeted on arrival by the general manager Daniel who we had the added bonus of speaking with throughout our stay. He is well versed in the incredible history of the home, grounds and surrounding area and shared some wonderful stories with us. The property is a work in progress which we liked. If you are seeking all modern amenities and everything brand new and posh, this is not the place for you but if you are looking for a tranquil escape from the bustle of city life and a respite in the county, you'll love it here as we did. We truly felt like guests in a friends a home and can't wait to return.

Meander sits in a lovely setting in the country, and the rooms/cottages are so cute, very relaxing in an area where there are many sites/activities in which to participate, if you want to be busy. But this is also a therapeutic, get-a-way setting for quiet reading/study.

Excellent stay

We were driving cross country and made the Inn and Tavern at Meander one of our stops. They were so accommodating with our late check in and providing us with a picnic dinner basket, even though it was after hours. We stayed to enjoy breakfast and had some of the best dishes - the French toast and eggs Benedict. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will be back!

Absolutely lovely estate! We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the lush and manicured landscape, watching the sunrise from the veranda. The rocking chairs got a lot of use from us. The beds are extremely comfortable and pillows are nice and fluffy too. Daniel was the most pleasant and hospitable manager whom met all of our needs. He made sure our coffee and water was well stocked. If you’re looking for a retreat in southern charm fashion, look no further. We look forward to our next visit! Thanks!

This property is a ways from the main roads, but it is a very quaint and relaxing place. If you want to learn about history and enjoy nature this is the place to come. It’s not a Hilton, so don’t expect that kind of amenities. The host/receptionist, Dan, is super helpful and knowledgeable.
