The Estate at Meander

Amazing staff at a beautiful, historic property!

Had high expectations for this stay, first the good, staff, and I mean the single concierge on property was very kind, helpful and super courteous. Very nice young man.The main building has a nice early century feel dating back 300 years of history. Our complaint is with the room itself, it’s not well appointed, the bed sheets and pillows are OK but the bed is worn out and stiff ( you can feel the springs). I have the custom of rating cleanes buy the bathroom and must say that having black mold stains in the shower was the thing that made us most unhappy. There was also a small bug crawling around the ceiling. It wasn’t a terrible stay but definitely not worth the $275 rate. The place needs some serious TLC. We later found out it has new owners which recently bought the property and gave plans for renovations. My recommendation would be to do this first and then re open

We were there in Feb 2026 as a romantic Valentines getaway. The grounds are in desperate need of repair and upgrades. The stone walkway was very dangerous with raised and missing stones. The room was dark and dingy. We needed to open the windows because it was hot in our room. The window seals were full of dirt and dead bugs. We ended up checking out a day early, we just couldn't stay another night. At check out we were told the inn was starting a renovation plan in March as they were away of these issues.

Easy check-in , wonderful staff and service.

While we would have expected a stay in an inn from the 1700’s to be rustic we would still have expected furnishings and some modern amenities to be available in good working order. The Inn and Tavern at Meander was certainly not lacking in charm and we thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful dinner and breakfast and the kind people working there (all 3 of them) but we stayed in a room that was like a furnace and when we asked to have the heat better controlled, we were assured it would be taken care of and it wasn’t and a 2 day stay was quite uncomfortable and resulted in a lack of sleep which interfered with our next day plans. Add to that a sink that was constantly running in the bathroom and would tilt forward if you put any pressure on it as well as broken glass in window panes and outdated uncomfortable furniture and our weekend stay in this historic inn could have been much improved. The kicker was when the door knob to our room came off in my hand. While we know they were trying to keep to the historic aesthetic of the inn, modern conveniences such as a tv would have been welcomed especially since we were trying to keep up with the Olympics. Fortunately, we had brought an IPad. It seemed like the staff was trying very hard to be accommodating and were very gracious but they were severely short staffed for a holiday weekend although we were comped for our dinner and had our stay discounted. Sad because this place has a ton of potential!
