We had the pleasure of staying at the Inn right after Christmas. From the moment you walk in you are warmly greeted. Beautiful lobby area. The best part was our dinner - Chef Chris and his staff are amazing. The food was outstanding and nicely presented.and so delicious! It was also a very good value. The next morning we had breakfast and got to meet Chef Chris and tell him how much we appreciated him and his staff. Look forward to another visit.

I came here for a drink at the little patio area and it was very nice. Drinks were reasonably priced. Parking on site was free

I planned a trip for this coming weekend to stay at the Mimslyn Inn. Several days before my husband and I were in a car accident that totaled our vehicle. I contacted the Inn and explained that we had no vehicle to make the trip and that I needed to cancel our reservation. I was told that I would be unable to cancel because I did not do it 7 days before. I was told I could reschedule but there were no available rooms going forward that were like the one I canceled. This trip was suppose to be a 30 year anniversary trip and we were using a $500 gift card that was given to us. It has taken us two years to get a reservation at this Inn and now we were forced to reschedule a year in advance. The Inn, also charged my credit card for the first night and refused to refund it, stating that I would not be charged again the one night rental on my new reservation, they also charged me a $15 rescheduling fee which was not mentioned.

I booked with Mimslyn for my wedding a year in advance. After paying the complete balance a weeks in advance, I just received an email saying taxes have changed since over a year ago when I signed and they have changed the card on file without my consent. I got this notification weeks after the event had completed. Stealing money from your guests without their consent is poor business practices and if you look at newest reviews mimslyn management seems to be getting worse and worse based off reviews.

We stayed here for one night and the hotel is actually quite nice and is one of the historic hotels in US. Unfortunately, neither the picture nor the information about the booked double room on the booking platform is correct. That a hotel like this needs that?

What a joke. We thought this was a high end hotel. Paid in advance. Advertised as two restaurants and two bars. The one restaurant was only open Friday nights. The other one was more bar food than a restaurant. The beer was flat. The Television didn’t work in our room. We called for repairs and they couldn’t fix it. Sent us to another smaller room where we had to move all out luggage at 9:00 pm. This place is highly overrated and mediocre at best. I’ve had better experiences in the Hampton Inn!

Rooms are dated and dirty. Bathroom had mildew and needed some serious caulking. Otherwise I enjoyed my stay.

Unfortunately charged incorrectly and the Manager decided to no longer remain in contact to fix the issue. Fortunately the Credit Card company credited back the difference since the Receipt they gave clearly showed a lower amount than what they charged.

We had a great three-night stay at the Panorama Cottage. My thanks to Rebecca, Fred, and Chandler for making it such a great stay! I found the room price to be very reasonable, the service to be uniformly excellent, and the food to be quite good. My two kids loved the two pools and the outdoor activities (ping pong, fire pits, hammocks, corn hole, etc.). I plan to return with my family next summer.

Traveler beware! This hotel is very nice in the common areas but not in your room unless you prefer poor lighting, a tv that doesn’t work, a dirty bathroom, frayed carpet, torn lampshades! The rooms need updating! The sign outside says “luxury” accommodations. Don’t believe it! On a positive note, the Speakeasy was a nice restaurant and the staff was courteous. I would have expected breakfast to be included for the inflated price we were charged. $$$ Too much. We will not return.

Stayed in one off the cottages and then room was great. The personal hot tub was so relaxing.

4.5/5
We stayed with this vendor when we got engaged, and fell in love with the historic hotel and the beautiful vistas surrounding it. When planning for our wedding, we wanted a historic venue that didn't have ties to slavery, which is difficult in Virginia, as many of the most beautiful venues are or once were plantation houses. We kept coming back to the Mimslyn, and eventually decided they'd be perfect for us. Our main contact was Ryann, who above all else was professional, kind, courteous, and resolved every single issue we ever brought to her without complaint. During our engagement, the hotel changed ownership, which we believe was the main source of any issues we encountered. These might not affect future events at this hotel, but we experienced growing pains with their website and booking, resulting in many guests having issues accessing the Room Block that we had set up for them. Ryann was great and fixed these problems so that they created no issues for our guests. The hotel staff was also incredibly warm and kind to us, and seemed thrilled whenever we spoke with them. The chef met with us personally and helped us coordinate the dinner, which was delicious and was exactly on time. It was the best wedding food we've ever had by far. There was an unfortunate heat wave that affected our very outdoor wedding. With less than a week to go, the hotel and our coordinators came up with a plan and restructured the ceremony to be indoors. This could not have been an easy task, and likely required a lot more work and stress for all involved, but you wouldn't know it by the way they professionally handled everything the day of. Despite our issues with the hotel side of things (which were again resolved thanks to Ryann being the best), everything was beautiful and perfect the day of our wedding. We are happy with the choice we made, and are grateful for everything they did for us.

This is a rarely classic hotel! You can see that old picture, old telephone in room, very hot and strong water of shower,big room, and free wine. Indeed, I think it’s different with every room, but I think when you have a smoky area in three floor beautiful deck, that’s heartwarming.
