Our stay at the Fox and the Grapes was excellent! We throughly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts, the main fireplace in the great room/lobby, and fireplace in our East Lake room. This was the perfect home base for our Seneca Lake wine tour! We enjoyed meeting Guinness, the friendly B&B German shorthair pointer, who made us feel welcome as well. We will definitely be coming back!

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. The Concord Room is one of our smaller rooms but we also have King rooms available which would have been more spacious. Hope to see you again.

Wonderful B&B close to many wineries
We had a great stay here. We were warmly greeted as soon as we arrived and given a tour of the house and porches. Our balcony room gave us a great view of the sunset over Seneca Lake. The owners gave us a nice overview of the history of the property when we asked during out wonderful breakfast. Will definitely recommend to friends and family!

This was our first time staying at The Fox and the Grapes and we really enjoyed the experience. The house and property are very inviting and well kept and you feel at home immediately. We were welcomed by Bud and Kim who are exceptional hosts and later met their lovely dog Guinness. The accommodations are great, spacious rooms, many areas indoor and out to sit and have some wine and the breakfasts are amazing, with very fresh sometimes home-grown ingredients. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay near the beautiful Seneca lake nearby. They have great recommendations of what to do in the area and it is a very relaxing and peaceful place to spend some time away.

Grapes and Fox B and B gets a 5 stars!!!
Bud and Kim have made what I consider a PERFECT B and B experience. It is a beautiful Victorian farmhouse in the middle of wine country. It is all the beauty and charm you expect with a B and B without the clutter of fru fru. Everything was incredibly tasteful. There is a huge deck overlooking Seneca Lake, a large common area with a fireplace and tv. Bud and Kim were very accommodating and their breakfasts were as exquisite as their accommodations. You won’t be disappointed! There are so many wineries up and down their street you almost stop every 500 ft to visit the next one. This place is a 5 ⭐️ retreat! Enjoy-we did!!!

Nice little get away.
We had a great experience staying at The Fox and the Grapes. Location is good, right along the wine trail. Kim and Bud were very personable and kind. Breakfast was tasty and filling and enjoyed while sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. B & B was very clean and nicely decorated. The greeter, Guinness, was exceptional. He takes his job very serious. Guinness is the resident dog. We would not think twice about staying here if we are ever in the area again.

Comfortable hospitality in Lodi NY
We stayed at Fox and Grapes because we had reservations for dinner at Suzanne, a restaurant just a short way up the road. Bud and Kim had a warm fire burning in the fireplace of the great room that faces Seneca Lake when we arrived on a cool October day. Also in our room was an electric fireplace to take the chill off. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Often I travel with my own soft pillow and wished I had brought it with me.

Bud and Kim were perfect hosts. Both mornings we had fabulous home made from scratch yummy breakfast! We sat outside on the main balcony of the house and enjoyed our wine, watching the sunset over the lake. The grounds are beautiful and full of red, orange and yellow fall colored trees.

A little romance and beautiful vistas.
After a long and enjoyable trip through New York State, we decided to have one really special stay at a bed and breakfast. It was the first time for us to try this kind of lodging and we weren't disappointed. We wanted to be close to the vineyards and to our delight had a beautiful view of both vineyards and Seneca Lake from our guest room. We were able to relax completely outside as well as in our lovely room after dinner on the roomy deck overlooking lawn and vineyards..

FINGER LAKE WINE COUNTRY B&B IS EXCELLENT CHOICE
Kim and Bud get the highest accolades possible from us because they have a very well maintained Seneca lake view and vineyard view country home which has been nicely converted into a B&B. They did a great job at making us feel welcome while providing us with all comforts of home . The home is decorated throughout with Victorian antiques and has great porches and decks from which to view the lake and countryside and nearby vineyards. They have a great room with a great wood burning fireplace, a coffee pot at 7 AM and two wonderful dogs : Bailey and Guinness .The rooms are well appointed all with private baths We loved walking down the gravel road in front of F&G through the Silver thread Vineyard to the Silver Thread wine tasting ,about 1 mile on a country road to the lake. Overall our wine-tasting weekend was a great getaway for us in large part because we enjoyed staying at the Fox & Grapes with Kim and Bud.

Picture Perfect
The location of this 1885 fully restored home was just picture perfect. Nestled among the vineyards and overlooking Seneca Lake we were pleased to have such a convenient location on the east side of the lake. Our room was very clean and the bathroom well appointed, and a pillow top mattress made for exceptional sleep! Then there was the delicious and always welcoming breakfast each morning at 9. Can't wait to return.

More minuses than pluses.
Greeted by owner wearing filthy chef's coat. Our room had no TV, one was not allowed coffee or wine in the room. Breakfast was served at 9am - no sooner or later. There was no choice for breakfast and what we were served was very pretentious and, to us Brits, disgusting. The plug didn't fit in the washbasin in the room so the water ran out and the shower was pathetic. On the plus side we were found softer pillows for the second night but we did have to remove the incredibly thick mattress topper which would have been lovely on a cold winter's night but on a steamy July night was unbearable. Lovely views and location.

The inn keeper is a very nice guy. The inn is far from most things, as it seems is much in the area. The room is clean, but much to fussy. Youd don't need a king size bed, small sofa and chair . The closet is very large, using the space better would have been all you need, no need for a dresser. What would have been very useful would have been a shelf or two in the bathroom. We were told breakfast would be served at 9:00am, it was not served to at least 9:30. Fortunately we didn't have plans that required us to be anywhere at a specific. Time.

Two comfortable Nights in the Finger Lakes
The Fox and Grapes was a great old mansion located with a great view of the lake. The "breakfast" in Bed and Breakfast, while served charmingly, were two of the worst breakfasts I have had in a long time. While I am sure a great deal of thought went into their conception, they were neither tasty (too sweet or too flat), hearty nor appealing. Overall I would recommend the Fox and Grapes as a really quiet and peaceful getaway but plan your breakfast elsewhere.

Great B&B and wine tasting.
This was a great experience. We stayed here over the President's day weekend. Arrived on a Friday and left on Monday AM. Our host Rose was very gracious, helpful, nice, pleasant, warm and served us some really great breakfast. The other couples were also nice and friendly. While there, we did some great wine tasting and had a really great time. The house is beautiful with each room having some great antique furniture, its own bathroom and individual climate control, which was great b/c we like to turn the heat up. The living room is huge and has an outdoor deck (which we couldnt make use of unfortunately due to the frigid weather) that overlooks Seneca lake and so has a great view. This was our 1st B&B experience and we're thankful that it turned out to be a really great on. All in all, would highly recommend this to anyone looking to spend a nice romantic getaway weekend.

Relaxing and Pretty B&B
We had a pleasant stay at the Fox and the Grapes B&B. The restoration of this old house is amazing and the view of Seneca Lake from the lawn or the deck is beautiful. Our room was very nice and the innkeeper was happy to give us info on the area. There were a couple of things in our room that were missing. A nightstand and lamp on one side of the bed and a shelf in the bathroom for our toiletries. There was plentiful coffee and delicious sweet breads to take the edge off our hunger in the morning but we would have liked breakfast to have been a little more prompt, but it was worth waiting for.

This is a delightful place to stay when in the Finger Lakes region. It is convenient to both Seneca and Cayuga lakes, with an excellent view of Seneca. The owners are friendly, helpful and genuinely pleased to have guests. The place is well maintained; a great place to relax and unwind. We will likely use this B&B as our base on future visits to this region.

This was my first B&B experience and because of the accommodations and staff it will not be my last. The Inn looked recently remodeled and had spectacular views of the lake. The breakfasts were great and the location was perfect. This was the ideal spot for a couples retreat. I wish I had more time to stay there. Thanks
