After checking in for a one night stay in a room in the Murphy house portion of the inn, we found the toilet was not clean or had been used and left a mess. The carpets could use some cleaning. The appearance of the outside of the Murphy needs much attention. On the plus side the bed was comfortable. The... more

I was invited to participate in a business meeting that took place at the VanDiver Inn. Our small group of 17 took over the whole Inn and was fed lavishly for two days. The VanDiver consists of several adjacent homes that look as though they were built a century ago. The main inn building is a particularly substantial home with... more

My daughter and son in law recently celebrated their wedding and reception at the Vandiver Inn. From the beginning preparations, to rehearsal dinner to final wedding, the service and hospitality of the owners and employees was the best. The owner John and wedding coordinator Chassie were always focused of the needs of the bride, groom and guests. Friendly, clean and... more

My mom and I spent the afternoon and evening at the Vandiver Inn on our way to pick up my son from college. It was a lovely country inn and a convenient location. It is a short 5 minute drive from busy I95 but feels like a mini vacation. We particularly enjoyed our room on the second floor with a... more

I was visiting someone in Havre de Grace but did not want to stay overnight at their home. I stayed in the Murphy House (Cornelia Meigs room). I DID love the separate entrance & the tiny courtyard would be nice in the warm weather. The employees were extremely nice but there were a few issue's. After settling in to relax... more

A lovely old mansion in a quaint harbor town, with a wonderful staff, comfortable beds, and good breakfasts that don't leave you feeling like you just want to go take a nap afterwards. It has become our Great Escape place, and we look forward to many more visits. I recommend staying in the main house, as the auxiliary ones don't... more

This is an elegantly appointed old mansion, with some of the finest and friendliest service I've ever encountered at a B&B. As a repeat visitor who has stayed in a number of rooms in the main house, as well as in the adjoining guest houses, I highly recommend the Vandiver Inn. As an added bonus, the new fireplaces are a... more

A few weeks ago, my husband and I were married at this historic inn. It is one thing to right a good review of a venue under great conditions, but our wedding took place during Hurricane Hanna and it was fabulous! Not only did the staff smile the entire event while getting soak and wet trying to keep the wedding... more

The innkeeper and staff were great, however the room was dark and smelled very musty. The claw tub/shower was an experience trying to shower. Water everywhere! If you have allergies this is not the place for you! more
