Liked: Cleanliness
The inn was clean and comfortable, the lack of a welcoming and informative presence from the innkeeper detracted from the experience. A more attentive approach to customer service would benefit future guests.

Buck Inn is a beautiful historical building in a very quiet area. I do believe there were crickets in the basement, but fortunately, I love the sound of crickets. Our room, the Van Gogh, was spacious & comfortable. It doesn't have an in-room private bathroom, but since we were the only guests during our stay, the bathroom a few steps down the hall wasn't a problem. This bathroom was only in need of a shelf on which to put our things when getting ready. The in-room coffee/tea, orange juice, cream & yogurt/granola for breakfast was nice. It was kind of Mark to have someone there to meet us, as the house sits way off the road & is quite dark to find & enter for the first time. The outdoor areas are wonderful. This is not a walkable area & one needs a car to get into town, but it is very close to town & easy for our local family to provide our transportation.

Honestly, I loved that it was quiet, with no children and few guests. Exactly what I needed when I was in town for a wedding: a place of peace in between the chaos of such an even.

What a hidden gem! The artful attention to detail and the feeling of staying with a friend rather than in a hotel made my stay so enjoyable. It’s a little off the beaten path, but well worth the trek.

Nice place, very different and somewhat remote; does not have all the amenities of a more mainstream motel. But for a basic bedroom in a quiet locale, it was fine. Proprietors particularly pleasant and interesting.

The inn was charming but there was no breakfast. Just had yogurt and granola. Coffee/tea keurig was good. Just would’ve appreciated bagel, muffin etc. Van Gogh room had bathroom in hallway, not in bedroom. It was convenient to our family that was plus to us.

The Buck school Inn is a beautiful piece of history. Mark has done an amazing job restoring the building. The accommodations were great with a special touch from the owner. Close to town and easy to get to.
