I took my wife for her birthday, and had a great time. The new management of the Inn were very helpful and interactive. We felt like we made great new friends. They were interested in what our trip plans were, and very informative on the local sites and restaurants. The William Oliver room is beautiful, and the complimentary beverage (bottled... More

First, let me preface this with the fact that we enjoyed our stay, but will not be going back. The location is ideal, its definitely pretty. However there are no locks when leaving your room - this is slightly unnerving but understandable in a small town. When we arrived, the smoke detector was beeping indicating low battery. We notified the... More

My fiance and I went to this area to check out some of the wonderful wineries and had the pleasure of staying at the Fox Inn. I love staying at B&Bs but my guy had one bad experience and was put off by them. After our stay, he is totally converted! The Inn was beautiful, our room was so comfortable... More

My husband and I spent two week nights at the inn during December 2012. We had the place to ourselves. The Christmas decorations were lovely (inside and out). The innkeepers are friendly, but not obtrusive. The billard table and interesting books and old magazines were fun, low-keyed entertainment. The breakfasts are awesome, the best we've had at a B&B. Our... More

My husband and I stayed two nights over New Year's Eve, 2013. We just wanted some alone time. The B&B is beautiful. Lots of character and convenient to stroll around village. Cliff, one of the Innkeepers makes fabulous breakfast. You get a choice of 5-6 breakfasts which you wouldn't make at home. We spent a lot of time in our... More

My husband and I stayed for two nights for a quiet getaway. The atmosphere was wonderful, the inn keepers hospitable and the room was just what we were looking for. Even if you get snowed in, you can walk to many places right in the village. It is so quaint in the middle of the winter. The B&B was furnished... More

Fox in was a great place to stay. My husband and I had such a lovely time. The location was great, the bed was comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious, and we loved the pool table. Cliff gave us great tips on going through the wine trail and where to go around town. Highly recommended!!
