Get to know us



We're Wendy, Russ and Schnitzel, owners of the Fox and The Grapes Bed and Breakfast.
The original home was built in 1885 by the Caywood Family and later owned by the Porter Family, who added the rear common room in 1962.  The house was restored in 2004, and became The Fox and The Grapes in 2005.

Although the home has many qualities of an 1885 Victorian farmhouse, it also provides many modern-day amenities and offers a friendly and cozy environment. 

We know there are lots of places to stay in our area, but here are the top reasons why we think The Fox and the Grapes should be your #1 choice:

Breakfast is made fresh daily locally sourced ingredients.  We will also cater to those with special dietary needs.

Our property offers many locations, inside and out, to have both intimate conversation and interaction with other guests: interior common spaces, outdoor porches, decks, manicured grounds, and a view of Seneca Lake.

We are close to many of the best wineries, breweries & distilleries in the area:  Silver Thread, Boundary Breaks, Hector Wine, Standing Stone, Shalestone, Damiani, Atwater, Lucky Hare Brewing, Scale House Brewery, Two Goats Brewing.  All are within a 15-minute drive.

We are also close to excellent restaurants: Scale House, The Elf in the Oak, Johnny's Kitchen, Ginny Lee Cafe (open till 4pm); all are within a 15-minute drive.

We have live music venues nearby: Wagner (Summer Friday Pub Nights), Hazlitt Oasis (summer Friday music), Rasta Ranch (Monday Night Blues), Two Goats (music on weekends). Scale House (music every night closed Mondays)

We are close to the many beautiful gorges, waterfalls and hiking paths.  You can easily visit nearby state parks and the national forest, play golf, rent a kayak, tour a vineyard and more.

Request a complimentary cheese and fruit tray and enjoy the many beautiful areas our property has to offer.

We look forward to having you as our guests!
