---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Fox Chase house, you can enjoy modern amenities in a historical setting. Built on land that was once part of Chief Justice John Marshall's Estate of Oak Hill, today, the house sits in the heart of Middleburg Wine Country. When you are ready to do some sightseeing, you will find that the house is conveniently located to the following towns:

- Marshall: Five minutes
- The Plains: Ten minutes
- Upperville: 12 minutes
- Paris: 12 minutes
- Middleburg: 13 minutes

Fine dining abounds. Some of the best local choices include:

1. Field and Main in Marshall (five minutes)
2. The Rail Stop in The Plains (ten minutes) 
3. The Ashby Inn in Paris (12 minutes)
4. The Hunter's Head in Upperville (12 minutes) 
5. The Red Fox Inn in Middleburg (13 minutes)

Some of the most popular nearby wineries include: 

1. The Blue Valley Winery (a five-ten minute walk or about one to two minutes by car) 
2. The Barrel Oak Winery and Taphouse (about two minutes)
3. Three Fox Vinyards (about five minutes)
4. RdV Vinyards (about seven minutes)

Point to Point Limousines offer wine tasting tours in the area. Their "Fauquier Cluster" hits several of the wineries on this list.

A quick 12-minute drive takes you to Great Meadow in Old Tavern, where you can watch the Virginia Gold Cup or take in the ever-popular twilight polo. Hikers will enjoy the Sky Meadows Park (ten minutes away) with stunning vistas of the verdant Paris Valley. 

If you prefer to do your sightseeing from the comfort of your car, Skyline Drive traverses the summits of the Blue Ridge in Shenandoah National Park, with spectacular views across the Piedmont area and into the Shenandoah Valley. A half-hour drive takes you to the Shenandoah River, which is great for canoeing, kayaking, or relaxing. 

Spelunkers - don't miss the stunning, cathedral-like Luray Caverns. Also visit  Skyline Caverns in Front Royal. Kids will love the mirror maze!

Your four-legged friends don't have to miss out on the fun. The house has a two-acre fenced in pasture with lots of stuff to sniff and explore while you are out sight-seeing.

You will have access to the entire house and grounds.

The house has keyless, contact-free entry. There is no need to stop and pick up a key. 

I will be available at all times while guests are in the house, although I try to keep regular business hours as much as possible for the sake of my family. If something needs attention, I will do my best to get it fixed as quickly as possible!

Delaplane is a quiet community mostly made up of primary residences, although there are several vacation rentals in the area. When you stay at Fox Chase, you will likely see both other wine country visitors as well as residents who call the area home. I'd ask all guest to please be respectful of both!

The house is on a regular, monthly pest control schedule, but sometimes unwanted bugs may venture inside. Delaplane is home to caterpillars, stink bugs, and Asian beetles which view open windows and doors as an invitation, especially at the changing of the season. I recommend keeping windows and doors closed when not in use.

The house is in an area where broadband internet is not yet available. The house does have decent Wi-Fi through the AT&T network, but it is not up to speeds that one might be able to find in the city. When many devices are connected, you may experience slow internet. It should be fine for most work-from-home sorts of things and it is more than enough for video streaming in standard definition. 

The house sits within earshot of I-66. On occasion, there may be a disturbance from the traffic on I-66, but generally the noise is nothing more than a light rumble. The solid construction of the house keeps most unpleasant noises outside.

Check in is at 4:00 pm and check out is at 10:00. These times are fixed. The cleaners keep a very tight schedule and make their plans around this six hour window. Out of respect to them, I cannot make exceptions to these times.

Please also note that as a small business, I am not able to grant last-minute refunds, so I highly recommend protecting your investment with travel insurance.

So why book this property?

Location. Very close to the best that Virginia's horse, wine, and hunt country has to offer, including some of the finest wineries, restaurants, wedding venues, and shopping in the region. Conveniently located near I-66, it is also a convenient base to explore Virginia's Piedmont from Washington DC to the Shenandoah Valley.

Layout. Five acres, five spacious bedrooms, 5,000 square feet, three living rooms, table seating for groups up to 20, this house is perfectly suited to host larger groups.  Great flow between rooms, both on the main level with the kitchen, dining room, and living room, and in the lower level, from the gym to the hot tub and out to the lawn and fire pit.

Love. My family loves this home and we have put some of our heart and soul into it. We also love sharing it and we promise to do our best to make your stay there special.

Unique benefits:

When you stay with us, you will be supporting a woman-owned, veteran-owned, minority-owned small business.

We are proud of our commitment to always pay cleaners and other workers a living wage. 

We'd love to invite you to make use of the instant book feature. If you aren't ready to book yet, you can always bookmark this house by clicking the heart symbol in the upper right corner. Even if you don't end up staying with us, by 'hearting' the house you still help us out :)

Great spot for a family weekend! With 3 boys under the age of 10, there was so much fun to be had here…beautiful backyard, fire pit and game room kept them occupied. We walked to Blue Valley Vineyard twice and enjoyed the fall air. Made big family dinners on the grill, watched football and slept soundly. Dolly was responsive and helpful when we had a hiccup. The home was comfy and spacious. Everyone asked if we could come back next year :)

Dolly's place was a great place for a bunch of old college friends to get together for our friend's daughter's wedding. There is plenty of space inside and out. We enjoyed our time there

We had a small intimate wedding in this backyard. Dolly was a very flexible and lovely host. House is fully equipped with anything you can think of. Great find.
