Every year around Christmastime, I will email The Red Fox Inn & ask, pretty please could I come for a stay?! It is a postcard-worthy escape near DC, perfectly sited on the main street of Middleburg and beautiful in any season – though the hotel does get quite dressed up for the holidays. I love having dinner at the pub before tucking in for a cozy evening, but the breakfast delivered to your hotel room in the morning is really the highlight; on my first visit it was a breakfast casserole, and I still dream about enjoying this while a morning frost formed on the windows.
