"At the junction of the Robinson River and what in old time was called the Meander, lies one of the best farms in Piedmont Virginia." From "Memoir of Colonel Joshua Fry"

The Inn at Meander Plantation sits majestically on 80 acres of rolling pastures and woods. Nestled in a bend of the scenic Robinson River, The Inn is located on U.S. Route 15, 9 miles south of Culpeper and 8 miles north of Orange. Charlottesville is only 35 miles to the south. Washington, D.C. is 70 miles to the northeast.

Return To A Gentler Time
Cradled in the heart of Jefferson's Virginia, The Inn at Meander Plantation offers a rare opportunity to experience the charm and elegance of Colonial living at its best. This historic country estate, which dates to 1766, allows guests to return to an earlier, more romantic time when hospitality was a matter of pride and fine living was an art practiced in restful surroundings.

Escape To A Simpler Side Of Life
Escape to The Inn at Meander Plantation to rest, relax and enjoy the pleasures of a simpler life. Stroll through formal boxwood gardens or wander woods and fields where wildlife abounds. Watch bluebirds flitter from fence to fence. Admire horses grazing on the knoll. Cool off with summertime tubing on the Robinson River. Organize a game of croquet or volleyball on the rolling lawns or bike down surrounding country lanes. Swing in a strategically placed hammock that faces spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. White rockers line both levels of the expansive back proches, providing peaceful respites for sipping afternoon tea, reading the latest novel or watching breathtaking mountain sunsets.

Inside the stately colonial mansion, you will find plenty of private nooks for reading, writing or quiet contemplation. Or join other guests for pleasant conversation in the parlor where Thomas Jefferson and General Lafayette were frequent visitors. A baby grand piano stands ready for impromptu concerts.

The sun-drenched bedrooms, reflective of the elegance and romance of a Virginia country estate, welcome you with warmth and comfort. Four poster Queen beds piled high with plump pillows beckon you to snuggle beneath down comforters. Each of the five guest rooms, tastefully appointed and furnished with antiques and period reproductions, offers a private bath.

Walk In Jefferson's Footsteps
Once you catch a glimpse of the imposing manor house and dependencies at The Inn at Meander Plantation, you will know you are about to step back in time.

Savor The Colonial Flavors
Join your fellow guests in the formal dining room - or under the arched breezeway on sun-warmed mornings - for a full country gourmet breakfast. Fresh baked breads and muffins topped with homemade apple butter or fruit preserves compliment tantalizing and creative entrees that vary with the seasons and the mood of the morning. ("Heart Healthy" breakfasts are available on request.) After breakfast, innkeeper Suzie Blanchard, a food writer/teacher/enthusiast, will welcome a chance to share her knowledge and perhaps a recipe gleaned from her extensive and eclectic collection of more than 300 cookbooks.

Full Dinner service is available to guests with advance reservations. For that day of sightseeing, request a take-along picnic basket. The graceful rooms and gardens of The Inn at Meander Plantation are always available for special events such as weddings, receptions, dinners, parties, reunions and small meetings.
