Liz and Rich were (are) wonderful hosts! It honestly felt like we were visiting family. The breakfast is delicious, their home is out of this world -- so cutely decorated, comfortable, clean -- and they're very friendly, accommodating and give great recommendations. If you're looking for a quiet getaway to Vermont in the gorgeous rolling hills, I highly recommend The Buckmaster Inn!

The Best!!!!!

We spent eight days in New England and staying with Elizabeth and Richard at the Buckmaster Inn was the highlight of our trip. Great hospitality, great breakfast, great accommodations in a beautifully decorated old home. You should travel out of your way to stay here. Great jumping off point to explore central and southern Vermont.

Beautiful house, wonderful hosts, great breakfast

We had a truly delightful experience at Buckmaster Inn. Liz and Richard, our gracious innkeepers, were exceptional hosts. Their skillful updates breathed new life into their gorgeous 200 year old home. Breakfasts were a highlight, featuring superb dishes like ham and cheese quiche, including freshly baked pies lovingly prepared by Liz. We highly highly recommend Buckmaster Inn and we can’t wait to be back.
We had one of the smaller rooms because we booked last minute. It was immaculate and cozy with a very large bathroom.
