RB and Jenny Fitch were captivated by their stays at Relais & Châteaux properties in Europe and in the U.S. During a stay at a small Relais property in New York’s Adirondack Mountains, the Fitches chatted with the Innkeeper who explained in depth what Relais stood for and what it meant for them to be a member and an idea was born. In the mid-1980s, the Fitches went to Paris to seek Relais membership for the Fearrington House Restaurant, only to be told they did not qualify since at that time, only properties featuring both a restaurant and inn would be considered. “So we built an inn,” said RB. The Inn was constructed in 1986, and in 1988, The Fearrington House Inn and Restaurant became members of Relais & Châteaux.
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.

“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.”
