Great B&B!
Fenton Inn is a cute little bed and breakfast. The service and food were both great. Our room was comfortable and exactly as described. I would highly recommend it for anyone who wants to get away for a weekend.

Awesome!
Amazing decor and woodwork! This place is a gem. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. Slept like a log. We enjoyed the hot tub and the in room breakfast. The plants and flowers were beautiful as well. 10/10! We will be back.

Unique place with a convenient location. Right outside of Wintergreen resort entrance and easy to get to Blue ridge parkway. Will is a master carpenter and the detailed wood work is just out of the ordinary. Very tasteful decorations and details on the stained glasses by Lilia. Rooms has high ceilings and are very well lighted. Come and smell the fresh mountain air for yourself for your next retreat!!

The property was unique. From the front it doesn't look like much but the inside and back had beautiful views. The room was okay but, probably overpriced for the atomosphere. We did order at a great pizza place that delivered. The owners were very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was okay not great so, I would probably go somewhere else before paying for it there. That all being said, I booked everything last minute so, it was super for last minute but, with planning I would probably stay in the condos on the mountain.

Thank you for the review. We are a little confused to read that you feel you paid extra for the breakfast. All of our rooms include full breakfast buffet at no additional charge. We vary our menu each day to include items like from scratch buttermilk pancakes, Belgium waffles, bacon or sausage and a variety of egg dishes. We also make our own gluten free granola from scratch that is highly praised by our guests. With yogurt, fruits, toast, deserts etc we can accommodate most of everyone's dietary wishes.

The staff is awesome and helpful. What attracted me to the Fenton Inn was the fact that it looks like a European village. The woodwork is amazing from doors to beams. The breakfast was delicious and the view from the kitchen was lovely. We will return again but in the winter 😊

An idyllic, whimsical, fairy tale of a hotel!
This place is out of a children's fairy tale book! They even have a drawbridge, cute kitties running around, all custom woodwork and an amazing homemade breakfast (gluten free granola with dried fruit, fresh fruit, French toast, juices, coffee, mini acorn muffins, sausage balls, Greek yogurt, cereals, etc.).The lobby is impressive just on it's own with a handmade wood crafted coy fish pond and furniture, Keurig machine (24-7), huge fireplace, as well as cards and dominos you can access. From the minute you step foot into The Fenton Inn you are greeted with hospitality and kindness. The owners are so sweet and made us feel like home. They were accessible when needed, but our room was still very private. We stayed in the Swallow's Nest room and we were not disappointed! The views, balcony, super soft sheets, comfy bed and walk-in double head shower were on point. We also were allowed to use the movie theatre, which we made popcorn and had a cozy movie night in. They have DVDs you can use or bring your own. We didn't have a chance to use the outdoor hot tub, but it was private and looked inviting. Wintergreen Resort is literally around the corner and all the wineries/breweries are super close (10 min drive). We didn't want to leave our room or this place! As a frequent traveler, I would highly recommend this place!! Can't wait to go back and visit. PS your phone won't work in the hotel (which we didn't mind), but they have free Wifi to offer for those who need to stay connected.

Fenton Inn is the best
Everything at the Inn was perfect. Beautiful architecture, very clean and comfortable, Inn keepers are so nice and friendly. Best B&B we have been to. When we go to Wintergreen for skiing we will likely stay here again. The short drive down the mountain is well worth the better accommodations.

We really like the artistic features and wood constructs of the hotel self made by Will. The building is so unique and resembles German style. The inside is so new that makes us feel extremely comfortable staying there. Will and his wife Lillian are so kind and they offer great breakfast. The kitchen has a magnificent view of neighboring mountains. We like everything there and will definitely come back.

Perfect Inn in Blue Ridge Mountains!
Perfect is a pretty strong word but this inn is very close to this mark! We loved everything about it: the setting, the friendliness and graciousness of the hosts, the beauty of the inn itself, the comfort of the rooms, the delicious breakfasts, the location, the amenities. Our family of four comfortably stayed in the Butterfly Room. My daughters loved the hot tub and the resident cats!
