The Fox & The Grapes Bed & Breakfast

Fantastic experience!
We are not bed and breakfast people, however we will definitely come back and stay at fox and the grapes. All around a great experience — Bud and Kim are delightful and so accommodating! I eat a vegan diet and Kim made delicious vegan breakfast for me each morning.
Would highly recommend staying here!

second stay at the Fox. its my favorite B&B and i’ve been to many. the house and amenities are great, price is good, location is right in the thick of it. the food served at breakfast is delicious, and bud & kim are super nice and even had a drink with us each night and chatted. we will definitely return! oh and their puppies are awesome. thanks bud & kim!!!

Beautiful old world charm… Arrived on Friday and were greeted by owners, Kim & Bud. We were given a tour of the B&B which was beautiful. The Inn has been totally restored, boasting hard wood trim throughout complete with massive pocket doors. Original pine plank floors add to the charm. There is a large sitting room, complete with fireplace. Here you can meet other guests for some interesting conversation, watch some TV, or sip a little wine from your day’s expedition along the wine tasting trail. There also is a second smaller, more quaint room for those who wish some solace and of course, some wine sipping. In addition to the magnificent ambiance, the Inn is spotless! Thank you Kim & Bud. We were shown to our bedroom and again were not disappointed. Beautiful and comfortable with on suite bath. Of course, the breakfast, served at 9am. Breakfast was prepared and served again by Kim & Bud in the dining room. We were served a fruit, yogurt and granola combination to start. Then followed by stuffed «French Toast» with cream cheese and blueberries yum, yum. Of course, there is always coffee or tea available along with Kim’s fresh baked cookies. In all, a wonderful B&B with caring and attentive Inn keepers. We can’t wait for our next visit, thank you Kim & Bud.

My husband and I were looking for a beautiful fall setting, close to the wineries and a view of the lake. The Fox and the grapes delivered! Bud, Kim and their dogs Guiness and Bailey made us feel right at home. The home is beautiful the setting is gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer, next time!

Kim and Bud have some large shoes to fill because Jim Pellegrini was a true rock star. I look forward to my next visit to this beautiful property, ideally located for a trip to the Finger Lakes

We have spent more than 5 years staying at The Fox and the Grapes for our wine tasting weekends. In fact, we were married here on 10−10−10 by Jim, the former innkeeper.
We met Kim & Bud, the new owners, this past weekend when we returned for one of our wine club pickups. They are a lovely couple, and this grande dame of a house is in great hands. My husband and I enjoyed visiting with them and sharing our stories of the Fingerlakes and hearing about how they came to the area and love it as we do.
We will definitely return again.

We had our wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful. The new owners, Kim and Bud did everything they could to make it perfect. The grounds were so pretty, inside was so nice… a beautiful kitchen… We did not stay there (we had a cabin on a different lake) but we are already looking at our calendar to see when we can go up again and stay at this beautiful place!

My husband and I held our very small, simple wedding at The Fox and the Grapes in October and we couldn’t have been happier. Jim, the innkeeper, who is also a justice of the peace, officiated. He prepared a very sweet and thoughtful ceremony that hit all the right notes. We held the ceremony in a beautiful spot on the lawn overlooking the lake. The setting looks amazing in the photos, which we just got back. Jim and his assistant took care of everything we needed during our stay, including helping us find and reserve a restaurant for the dinner after the reception and helping me make a last-​minute reservation at a hair salon in town. And the breakfasts every day, personally prepared by Jim, were outstanding. Finally, we were a little hesitant to make our initial reservations after reading some of the Unilocal comments about lumpy beds and loud traffic noise. We were so glad that we ignored them. The beds were perfectly comfortable and no one in our party noticed any noise — and we had rooms in both sides of the house. Also, the setting is so intimate that we felt as if we had the whole house to ourselves most of the time. In short, the inn was everything we hoped for. Thank you, Jim!

My wife and I were looking for a nice peaceful get away in the Finger Lakes Region so we can explore some wineries, brewery’s and enjoy some peaceful romantic alone time. We chose the Fox and the Grape due to its central location to the various wineries, State Parks by the Falls and restaurants. We were not disappointed. The B&B was clean and charming. The owner, James very nice, friendly and a wealth of information on where to go, and what to do. His «assistant», Lisa is just as wonderful, ask her anything about the area and she will point you in the right direction. Want to sample sweet wines, no problem Lisa knows where to send you, want dry full body reds, no problem for Lisa and she is spot on. Knows where to send you and away from the bus loads that frequent the area on week-​ends. Breakfast is made by James who is amazing in the kitchen and when he is busy Blanch is a cracker jack in the kitchen with home made breads and pastries and stomach stuffing entries. You cannot leave on an empty stomach especially if you are going wine tasting. There is a great room for all the guests to mingle and that serves as the TV room. James lets you run the house except for the Private Areas where he resides in the house. There is a big porch overlooking the lake where you sit and marvel at the beauty that is Seneca Lake. If, no make that when my wife and I return to the Finger Lakes I will book the Thaddius Room with the wonderful king bed, private bath and small sitting area. Terrific three nights and thanks to the staff at the Fox and the Grape for a super get away break!

Really lovely B and B — Jim and Rose were very gracious and it was clean and inviting. They both made a delicious breakfast and were very accommodating to our tastes. Great place to stay if you are visiting the vineyards on Seneca.

Had a wonderful time here over the summer. The staff was super friendly and the entire property is super cute. It would have been nice if some of the beds and bed linens were updated though. The morning breakfast was good. Overall a nice spot.

I would give this place four stars except for the crippling bed situation. The room we had literally included a bed with such a worn out or weak mattress that we had to sleep with our heads at the foot of the bed in order to keep them above our toes. The room itself was nicely decorated and would have been comfortable except for the terrible mattress.
Despite this serious drawback, the location is beautiful and convenient for wine tasting and some nice restaurants, and includes large, beautiful lawns for crochet and bocci ball or just lounging around. The views at breakfast on the patio are also stunning, and the breakfast was delicious. If they could get the bed situation worked out, I’d definitely come back.

What an excellent little B&B! We stayed here last weekend to do some wine tasting, and this is a very good and central location for exploring the wineries and restaurants and farms around the seneca and cayuga lake area.
The owners were really nice, and great breakfast was served each morning with local ingredients. The plus was a pretty view of Seneca Lake from the deck!
I would definitely stay here again, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. The one star reviewer below hasn’t got a clue and should not be reviewing a place she has never visited.

We stayed at this quaint B&B recently and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Rose prepared breakfast daily and it was excellent!
The room we stayed in (Stella) was a nice size and had a nice view of the lake (though the windows were foggy in the AM) and it had no TV (I would have actually preferred one).
There is free WIFI — which is nice.
It wasn’t busy (though we did come at a slow time) but it is at a great spot on Seneca lake — very central to wineries etc etc.
We enjoyed are stay and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Fox and The Grapes B&B.

We stayed here for the Deck The Halls Wine Trail at the end of November 2010. This was a gorgeous place. My parents had the room with the balcony, my boyfriend and I stayed in the room across the hall and my brother stayed in the room next to ours. The area has plenty to do with the wineries so we weren’t at the B&B for too long before we would be out again but it was very nice when we were there. The owner is very friendly and has some yummy recipes hat he cooks up for breakfast. Both mornings we ate there were completely different meals and both were great. And the fireplace in the large family room/​great room was very nice to cozy up in front of at the end of the day. Great experience, look forward to doing it again in a couple years.

Rude Rude Rude… No customer service… Don’t pick up the phone if you can’t take of your customers. If this is a reflection of how the place is run… stay away
