Fox Hill Bed and Breakfast

Delight in the quiet, comfortable elegance of our 38-acre country retreat. Relax in your private suite, or curl up on the porch and watch the clouds float over the Blue Ridge Mountains. Our grounds provide endless opportunities to commune with nature: stroll in the shade along our spring-fed stream, feed the koi in our two-tier garden pond, and wander in our lovely gardens. When you are ready for more activity, you can romp in the meadows with your favorite companions or bring your plane and take advantage of our wide-open spaces and private RC airfield. We welcome dogs
