| - A picturesque home and event space in historic Plaza Midwood , Van Landingham is a great space for a romantic stay, picnic dinner or event.
With multiple rooms for staying, I cannot speak to the overnight accomodations personally but they look charming & comfortable ~ the rates range from $149-$229 and that seems reasonable for all you get on the grounds, plus the homemade breakfast you get to enjoy in the morning.
For those of us in Charlotte, VanLandingham offers 13 gardens and a free walking tour. In spring, summer and early fall you'll be able to see the gardens kept in their original beauty ~ nothing's been changed, just maintained since they were first planted.
In summer and fall, the executive chef offers picnics for 2, that include 4 courses, a bottle of wine and a blanket ~ PERFECT DATE (ding ding ding!). I have enjoyed this a few times and recommend it to anyone for a first date, second date, eightieth date, etc. Just do it - wow the girl. Kiss the girl. Get bragged about for weeks to all her friends.
Event wise, the staff takes everything very seriously - and they should! You're forking over some serious change to have this space BUT these professionals treat your event like the only thing in the world. Be warned that this is an older place and there are little details here and there that aren't perfect (I noticed some cracks in the floor molding, a window pane has some peeling paint, etc) but overall the beautiful materials on the exterior (NC rock, boulders, lush gardens) and inside (ornate furniture, fireplaces, slate floor in the large back room) make it a one of a kind place for your guests to enjoy.
