    We stayed at The Vandiver Inn the night of 10 November 2010 and found a world of happiness, grace and kindness. We stayed in a beautifully restored room with an operating fireplace and absolute comfort. John Muldoon proves a few gratis rooms to veterans on the eve of Veterans Day. I was born in Darlington where my grandfather operated Swift's Store in the heart of town. I haven't felt quite as at home in ages. We were provided with a lovely breakfast, John's sincere kindness and good company. We were directed to Price's Seafood Restaurant where we had dinner on the tenth, lunch on the eleventh and proceeded to go antiquing like mad. THIS is MY Maryland. These are MY kind of incredible people! We will be back and with friends. I tend to look at folks, businesses from my little 3-P process; Pleasant, Patient and Professional. The Vandiver Inn FAR exceeds any expectation or wish. Thank You doesn't begin to cover our appreciation and gratitude. John and Susan, THANK YOU! God Bless you and be well until we see you again.

    Vandiver is a must in Harve de Grace!

    September 09, 2008

    My fiance and I stayed at Vindiver's last night passing through and absolutely would recommend. The innkeeper was really nice and the rate is better than can be expected (with AAA was $113!). The rooms were decorated very cute and clean, and the breakfast was really good! The best french toast I've had in a long time. The inn is walking distance to a lot of cute shops and restaurants.... if you're in Harve de Grace, definately stay here!

    A hidden treasure

    May 07, 2007

    We hosted our wedding reception at the Vandiver in April, 2007 and were blown away by the attentive staff, amazing food and overall delightful experience. John & Susan Muldoon treat their guests like good friends and go above and beyond to ensure comfort. Our guests included elderly grandparents, very young children and our best friends in their mid-twenties, and the staff and location accomodated them all. Our guests are still raving about the food and the service we received. The Inn is located in the heart of town, and is within walking distance to most points of interest (one of the reasons we booked there to begin with). Take advantage of their monthly Jazz & Wine dinners - my new husband and I will definitely be back for these to relive our perfect weekend.
