Inspired by their travels abroad, R.B. Fitch and his late wife transformed a central North Carolina farm into a charming, elegant village, replete with shops, restaurants and the award-winning Fearrington House Inn and Restaurant. Near one of the country’s most dynamic research and venture capital hubs - the Research Triangle region encompassing Raleigh and Durham - the farm-like setting with white facades, rocking chairs, lush landscaping and intimate courtyards will transport you to a place far away from the ordinary. Between author readings, spa treatments, shopping and customized wine dinners, you can discover the Jordan Lake nature preserve and nearby Chapel Hill, home to the nation’s oldest state university. A made-to-measure retreat for lovers of good food, fine wine and gracious hospitality.
