We stayed in the Meriweather. Room was a bit too rustic for my liking. Floor was rough stone & area rugs definitely need to be replaced. Had to kill a couple of bugs in bathroom area as well! Food in restaurant was very good & staff very friendly. The grounds are very pretty. Don't think I would stay rhere again though

The property is a 10-minute drive from Monticello, and close to Charlottesville, if you even feel the need to do any sightseeing off the property. On the property, there are trails leading to a small lake and the Rivanna River. The chef is amazing. The two dinners and two breakfasts were superbly prepared. The wine and whiskey lists are extensive. The property is quiet and all the rooms are lovely -from the dining areas (the library dining room was my favorite for dinner and the veranda was delightful for breakfast) to the unique bedrooms. The staff is fantastic. It has been quite awhile since I had my room prepped for the night with a cookie placed on my pillow, while I was having dinner. The best part about The Clifton is that it is dog-friendly. I highly recommend it.

The Clifton inn is a very special and beautiful resort near Charlottesville, yet in a secluded location. The landscaping and flowers are just beautiful. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The dinner was gourmet! And the accommodations, pool, and amenities are wonderful. We heartedly recommend this resort.
