The Fearrington House Inn – Luxury Relais & Châteaux Getaway in NC - Fearrington Village
Where Hospitality Feels Like Home
WELCOMING GUESTS SINCE 1988

Inspired by their travels through Europe, R.B. and Jenny Fitch dreamed of bringing the warmth and elegance of Relais & Châteaux to North Carolina. When told that only inns—not restaurants—could be members, R.B. replied, “So we built an inn.”


Completed in 1986 and welcomed into Relais & Châteaux in 1988, The Fearrington House Inn embodies refined Southern hospitality, exceptional cuisine, and timeless charm. Decades later, it continues to honor that vision—where every guest is welcomed like family and every stay feels like coming home.

Fearrington has the rare quality of feeling like a town within a town: intimate, charming, and thoughtfully preserved. Despite a bustling arrival moment, the warmth of the welcome immediately softened everything. The front desk associate greeted us graciously, answered every question with care, and even personally guided us to our cottage after helping my husband navigate charging options for our car.

We stayed in the Grand Suite, and it was nothing short of enchanting. The interiors felt timeless in the way only truly refined spaces do traditional without feeling heavy, luxurious without trying too hard. In the sitting room, a handwritten birthday note and a plate of the inn’s beautifully hand-painted chocolates awaited me, a gesture so personal and thoughtful it immediately set the tone for the weekend.

This was our first experience with R&C member inn/restaurant. It was so good, we are already rethinking an upcoming vacation to include only R&C lodgings. We loved everything about our 24 hours on property. The chef's tasting dinner was in my top 5 meals of my life. Jason our waiter was impeccable. The ambiance was great - even with the wedding dance party outside the window we could hear each other speaking and it felt comfy and intimate.
