history for a place of rest while traveling, yes!
loved the privacy, quietness, comfortable and clean facility, I will be back!
Excellent place to be, loved the aesthetic and vibe around. Room was beautiful with all the amenities bringing you in the lap of nature. Mark was kind enough to meet personally and explained about property and helped us suggest us good place to explore around!
We booked a last minute weekend getaway and had a fantastic time in this area. The Buck School Inn was perfect. It was a relaxing and convenient property that we hope to visit again!
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.
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.
Place looked peaceful in great location but got in our room very dirty no blinds on windows so sun was bright also someone was in our room when we had left for awhile kinda creepy also only 2 towels for the whole weekend stay also very loud with no privacy
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.

Owner was there to greet us. Atmosphere and history behind the property is very interesting.
Accommodations are fine.
I liked the location, and quietness. the rooms was beautiful. I wished bathroom was in bedroom, not in the hall way.

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.
