A gaggle of sister-in-laws, and brother-in-laws stayed at the Meander Inn last weekend. It was the second stay for my with and me. In one sentence, we had a grand time....we don't go back to anywhere that produced a bad time.
Starting with early check-in on Friday Alain started with jokes and few barbs but everyone joked back and certainly nobody was offended. A short time laster Franchesca got home from work and the fun began. Out came wine, cheese, and all kinds of finger food. Our hosts made everyone feel comfortable and not afraid to ask for a few special accommodations.
Breakfast on Saturday was a feast with a bottomless cup of good coffee and bottomless glass for the orange juice. After directions to local wineries were distributed to our group we spent the day going to the big and the small wineries. Not being a huge wine drinker I'm not prepared to pass judgement on all of the wine. Check with Franchesca as the two wineries she specifically recommended were by far the best.
We all purchased dinner at the Inn Saturday night and were not disappointed. The food was outstanding. Alain entertained us with jokes (some a little off color, but nobody was offended), and kept pouring the wine. The wine was a table wine, but good none-the-less.
I wasn't sure I wanted to mention this part, but I feel compelled to share. Since my first stay at the Meander Inn I've spoken with the owners about spirits in the place. Alain and Franchesca told stories of guests who experienced paranormal experiences ...to include gray filmy figures, being touched, somebodt/thing sitting on the bottom of the bed. Well, something touched or ran what felt like fingers through my hair four times on Friday night. My wife and I were in Hatches Room, and I went over the room with a fine tooth comb and could not find a rational explanation.
OK....want fun hosts, a very eclectic setting, good food and wine, to die for scenery, and a chance to rub elbows with a spirit........try the Meander Inn. I know I'm going back and this time I'm requesting the room called Spirits Hide-Away.

I think the place is too expensive and scary. There is no internet service, telvision, microwave and the rooms are too small. PLEASE DO NOT TRUST WHAT YOU SEE ON THE WEB-SITE. I felt scary and creepy, the room are dirty. Please just don't waste that kind of money.

I will make this Short and sweet, Love the Inn and Love Francesca & Alain. We had our wedding there, They went way out of there way for us... Nothing but the best...

We can not say enough great things about the Meandor Inn. We stayed for 3 nights and it was the most wonderful time we have had in a long while. Francesca and Alain made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. They went out of their way to make our stay such a great time. The only problem we had with them is there was just to much food! ha ha You will not leave this Inn hungry at any time during your stay. The breakfast is out of this world, and the dinner we had on Saturday night was nothing like you would have in a resturant. I never knew food could taste so good. The rooms were beautiful and so clean, the inn and the property is breathtaking.

Thank you Alain and Francesca for making our trip to the mountains one we will never forget. You guys are the best and we WILL be back.
