We had such an amazing weekend staying at the Buckmaster Inn! Only a 20 minute drive to Okemo, coming back to a cozy home was the perfect ending to a couple of long ski days. Fantastic hosts, beautiful house, delicious breakfast, would definitely go back!

Great stay for a snowy weekend.

I had a great stay at the Buckmaster Inn for ski weekend at Okemo. The house is beautiful with many classic colonial touches throughout. Best of all, Richard and Elizabeth are gracious hosts who go above and beyond to make their guests comfortable. It snowed the last night of my stay and Richard got up extra early to clear the driveway and my car! I will be back whenever I can visit.

Elizabeth and Richard were absolutely wonderful hosts! I enjoyed every second of staying at this property. They went out of their way to be hospitable and to make all guests comfortable. The breakfast was fantastic each day and they had wonderful suggestions for the local area. I was already planning a trip back before I had even checked out. Highly recommend!!
