An Iconic American House
Established 1728
Established in 1728 and on The National Registry of Historic Places, The Red Fox Inn & Tavern stands at the heart of Virginia Hunt Country—a place shaped by arrivals, returns, and the quiet rituals of hospitality. For nearly three centuries, it has offered something increasingly rare: a sense of continuity, proportion, and welcome that feels both rooted and alive. Today, stewardship guides each chapter, with hospitality practiced intentionally and tradition carried forward with quiet purpose.
Rooted in the past, present in its use and prepared for what lies ahead, the house and grounds remain open
Still welcoming
Still relevant
Still a the heart of it all
The Legacy Continues—carried forward, together.
A Countryside Hideaway
With a Coveted Guest List
The Red Fox has quietly welcomed those drawn to Virginia Hunt Country for its beauty, privacy, and sense of ease. Over time, its rooms and tables have hosted cultural figures who moved comfortably between public life and private retreat—among them Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, whose devotion to history and preservation mirrored the spirit of the place, John F. Kennedy held a press conference in the upper Tavern, a moment woven into the Inn’s quiet history, Elizabeth Taylor, who sought refuge here between worlds both celebrated and unseen, and Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, who enjoyed their country visits.
They came not to be noticed, but to settle in—continuing a long tradition of guests who value discretion, proportion, and grace. Friends from the worlds of film and music, including Tom Cruise and Robert Duvall, have gathered here in that same spirit, drawn by a place where privacy is preserved and time moves at a gentler pace.
