Winter Access Disclaimer (October–March):
Fox Hill Estate is located on a hilltop with private roads. From October 1 – March 31, snow and ice can impact access. While plowing is provided, severe winter storms may occasionally delay service. In rare cases, guests may experience delays of several hours before the roads are cleared and safe to drive.
