Van Landingham Estate is located 3 miles south of uptown Charlotte in the historic Midwood residential section. It is surrounded by 5 acres of groomed gardens, which include stone statues and water fountains. Built in 1913, the inn was styled to look like a California bungalow and was built around a mountain theme. A stone wraparound porch with rocking chairs and a traditionally decorated living room with antiques, Oriental rugs, and a Duncan Phyfe sofa will take you back in time. The five guest rooms in the main house and four rooms in the carriage house feature period furnishings.
