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.
