Bottom Line

There's rural Vermont, and then there's seriously rural Vermont: The Fox Creek Inn's location falls into the latter category. Room decor varies drastically, but all rooms are cozy (in that slightly cottage-kitschy way that only B&Bs can pull off) with comfortable four-poster beds, working fireplaces and lots of natural light. Public spaces, such as the dining room, reading room, and wrap-around porch are inviting, which is good because there's not much to see or do within a short driving distance, besides skiing at Killington Mountain Resort. This type of B&B is best suited for couples looking to truly seclude themselves for a weekend.
