A rich history of southern hospitality & humble beginnings
RB and Jenny Fitch fell in love with their stays at Relais & Châteaux properties across the U.S. and Europe. During a visit to a charming Relais property in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, they chatted with the innkeeper who explained the meaning behind Relais membership. This friendly conversation sparked an idea. Later, in the mid-1980s, the Fitches traveled to Paris with hopes of joining Relais with the Fearrington House Restaurant. However, they learned that membership was then reserved only for places that offered both a restaurant and an inn. “So we built an inn,” RB recalled with a smile. The inn was completed in 1986, and by 1988, the Fearrington House Inn and Restaurant were delighted to join the Relais & Châteaux family.
Accommodations
The Fearrington House Inn offers a long list of amenities and access to beautifully crafted courtyard gardens. Because every inn room has a unique layout and design, some amenities may be specific to a room category and not universally available. If you have a specific preference, please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Please note room rates are based on double occupancy.
Our highest room category offers king beds and fireplace, plus additional upgrades like larger sitting rooms, bathrooms and bedrooms, walk-in closets, separate jetted tub and shower. Several have their own private gardens with sitting areas.
This upper tier room category offers a luxurious bedroom with a king bed and a spacious bathroom. Rooms also boast a separate living room area and more space for you and your guests.
A step up from our standard accommodations, a deluxe room boasts a separate lounge space or nook, in addition to a bedroom with a king, queen or two double beds. Many have delightful views of our gardens.
Our standard room option provides a spacious bedroom with a king, queen or two double beds and a private bathroom. Great for single travelers and quick overnight stays.

FROM OUR GUESTS
Luxurious & Calming
“The atmosphere is wonderful. It is not a huge property so you can enjoy all that it has to offer but it is so unique and you feel as if there is no one else around. It is truly the best place that we have ever stayed.”
