"BedandBreakfast.com surveys show that independent reviews are the most important factor when choosing a B&B.

Each time I have been delighted with the tranquility of the Inn, the friendliness of Bill and Paula, the proprietors, and the care they take in making the Buttonwood Inn such a perfect place for rest and relaxation…



And did I mention the breakfasts?! Paula is an excellent cook. Her breakfasts will keep you going until her rich and varied cookies or brownies turn up in the late afternoon. Bill serves the breakfast in a cheerful manner and is always available to offer advice about sightseeing in the region and interesting animal sightings…”

White Mountain Fall Foliage Weekend


This is going to be one unbelievable weekend! The Mount Washington Valley is visited by more people on the Columbus Day weekend than all others. We can say with certainty that the foliage is living up to the promise of a spectacular show. The sunny, ...cool, crisp skies and the hint of moisture on the leaves seems to make the trees glow even brighter in reds, ochres, and shades of yellow and orange. There is still time to visit as the prediction is for fall colors through the end of the month in many of the forest areas nearby.
