Buffalo Tavern Bed & Breakfast

This was our first stay at Buffalo Tavern. In fact, before 9am that morning, we'd not even heard of it. Found it on the internet. Reserving a room online was a breeze. Terrific price. A bit of a challenge finding it, but as we arrived we were greeted at the door by Doc, who made us feel right at home. Accommodations were great. Breakfast at 9, so we took our time in the am. Spent the day visiting west Jefferson and touring the countryside. Very laid-back ... a great get-away from the big city. We've made this a must-return for the Spring. Thanks, Doc!

We had the most wonderful weekend here right after Thanksgiving. The rooms were so clean and beautiful. We stayed in the Governor's room and absolutely loved it. Doc thought of every little detail and we were totally charmed by the whole experience. Linda cooked an incredible breakfast both mornings...so sweet and accomodating. The town of W. Jefferson was quaint and our options for hiking were unlimited. Thank-you for a wonderful weekend!

The Buffalo Tavern Bed & Breakfast is a quaint inn secluded in a mountain setting. Doc is a perfect host and you truly feel that the inn is your home away from home. We stayed in the President's suite and found it very roomy with all of the amenities you need.

Friendly and courteous host, clean and comfortable rooms, a great breakfast and very tasty snacks! Loved it!

This was my boyfriend and I first time staying at a bed and breakfast, and it was the perfect experience. We absolutely loved it at the Buffalo Tavern. It was a great escape for us to just relax and enjoy one another's company. Doc is probably the sweetest person I know. We felt very welcomed and almost at home by the way Doc treated us. It was nice that Doc took time to get to know us instead of just seeing us as another money transaction. Doc is an excellent, cook and I loved that he took the time to makes us such wonderful breakfast each morning. The whole house is just full of warmth and life and sometime soon my boyfriend and I are going to stay there again. The Buffalo Tavern has set the standards of what a bed and Breakfast should be. I just wanted to also say thank you Doc for everything.

It was beautiful day and the leaves out our windows were breath taking. The green meadow with the cows added to the whole atmosphere

Overall a great place to stay, but I didn't really spend a lot of time at the inn. If visiting the area again I will look them up.

This was our second visit to Doc's home. I am sure it won't be our last. The atmosphere is most delightful and the location is perfect for our needs. My wife enjoyed watercolor painting on the upper porch while I played golf and cards with 10 friends that get together once a year for the last 25 years. The food is superb and Linda was very attentive and helpful. We did miss seeing Doc this trip and hope his Mother's move went smoothly. I sent a link to this accomodation to a friend who motorcycles the Parkway on an annual basis. He has added to his list as a place to stay next trip! Look forward to our next visit.

This was my wife's and my first B&B. Buffalo Tavern provides all the conveniences of home (TV, Phone, Internet, Bath, Shower, Ice, Refreshments) for a very reasonable price. (Could use better access to electrical outlet near the bed where one would use the computer). It's a little remote, but not too far out. 10 minutes from restaurants. Breakfast was a gourmet treat. "Doc" could have done it on the cheap but didn't. Creative and tasty. Good conversation. "Doc" was helpful but not intrusive. He's a great host. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will stay there again if in the area and would recommend to anyone.

Doc Adams is a great host, he is very laid back and friendly. I would definately stay again and recommend the Buffalo Tavern to those traveling through the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

Very rural and quiet location with relaxing porches to view the surrounding mountains. The rooms are comfortable but could use a bit more table space. Breakfast, served family style, is a great chance to meet and talk with your fellow travelers. If anything, it is too much food; we could have done with less, or with options to serve ourselves to reduce the portion sizes. Breakfast is normally at 9 AM, also a bit late for many people, especially if you are wanting to get out and about for activities in the area. Depending on the day Doc might adjust that time to suit you so just ask. All in all, a very friendly place!

It was a very pretty B&B in a wonderful setting. The proprietor was gracious, gregarious and interesting. Breakfast was hearty and delicious as well as sociable. We would definitely return.

My best friend and I traveled from Va to Sc to see my new Grandson. We only stayed one night but it was wonderfull. The rooms are very elegant and very clean. The food was 5 star and our host "Doc" made us feel at home, even asking if we needed anything from the store when he ran into town. The upper porch is a delightfull little place that makes you feel as if you have steped back in time as you gaze out across the lawn and into the trees, catching a glimpse of the mountains. The only sugestion I could make to have made our stay any better was to have asked Doc to turn on airconditioning in the room before our arrival( As I have very little heat tollerence anymore) and to have had one more day to stay :) ... This is a real gem and We hope to come back in the late fall (bringing our Husbands this time as the place is very romantic.) This B&B really does go the extra mile and they provide all the little extras that make the difference between a good stay and a FANTASTIC stay. They have a wonderful mission statement and they truly seek to achieve it. Till we visit again, your friends, Dawn and Dawn

What fun to find a great B&B in the Jefferson area. Lovely inn, great in-keeper and staff. Enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

Great place to "get away from it all!" Stayed for four days at Doc's Buffalo Tavern, as part of a week long getaway in western NC. Doc is a great resource for the Ashe county area, and won't hesitate to hook you up with things to do and places to eat. The inn has a wonderful porch, so feel free to sit out in the evening and relax, after a long day of hiking or kayaking! Breakfast is great, and service is thoughtful and efficient. Quiet, peaceful, with a great host: what more can you ask for?

Buffalo Tavern B&B was the perfect "jumping-off place" for our brief mountain stay. Our plan was to see everything in all directions during the daytime and have a great place to come back to for a quiet evening. We loved being a little bit out of town, but still close for seeking out evening dining. With the superb and substantial breakfast, we saved money by skipping lunch, just having some healthy snacks. From our B&B we conveniently visited the restored courthouse museum in Jefferson, historic downtown of West Jefferson, the Blue Ridege Parkway, old railroad town of Todd, and much more. "Doc," our host, thinks of everything, and we'll call on him again when we head to this relaxing, scenic area.

I took my wife up for a suprise getaway.Doc was waiting on the porch for our arrival.He even called as to see if we got lost or delayed. We stayed in the presidential suite was more than we expected. At breakfast was on the spot. It was well worth the visit .Doc is an excellent host .There are so many things to do within a few miles of the Inn . Just remember that the sidewalks roll up in town at 5:00. Only the food places stay open.ENJOY IT!

Wonderful place with great owner/innkeeper "Doc". Personal attention and quick response to questions.House in great condition. Grounds are very spacious and upstairs balcony is very enjoyable.

Beautiful, clean room. In the middle of no where. Spent hours on the front porch staring at birds and watching trees grow. A most relaxing weekend. The Govenor's Room was a delight. Clean, restful, and decadent at the same time. I loved the crisp sheets, the excellent mattress and the clawfoot tub. My only complaint...I ATE TOO MUCH! LOL. Plenty of delicious food in the morning and snacks at night. A perfect weekend. We will definitely return.

The wife and I really enjoyed our stay. "Doc" Adams was successful in his mission statement to arrive as guests and leave as friends. We will certainly be back!

I wanted to go back to a place that I visited several times as a child, my mom was born there. My aunt and uncle lived there until they died. West Jefferson area is the way I remembered it as a child. Buffalo Tavern was a treat, we usually stay at motels.

"Doc" Adams runs a truly outstanding B&B - the location, house, room, breakfast and hospitality were all top notch. We are recommending Buffalo Tavern B&B to our friends and will definitely return.....hopefully before too long!

Hope to visit Buffalo B&B again when we have more time to spend in the area. Such a cozy place,loved the conversation and food at breakfast,I have and will tell all my freinds about you if they are in need of a place to go to get away. Thanks Doc!, Mike and Tracy

My wife and I came to Buffalo Tavern to celebrate our 25th. wedding anniversary. Doc met us at the door and we felt we had known him for a lifetime. The room we stayed in was the presidential suite. It was delightful and the canopied bed was extremely comfortable! The breakfast Doc provided was simply amazing! I will not reveal the details what we enjoyed, but I will say this: Be prepared for a real culinary treat! We heartedly recommend Buffalo Tavern and we will be visiting Doc again in the near future!

"Doc" was very gracious and made a heck of a breakfast! Loved the old home, the warm cozy feel you don't find in a hotel. My only complaint would be having to be so quiet. Walls have no insulation so noise travels.

Our food was really good-Doc's meal was better than our first days breakfast. I think my only complaint is our room was VERY cold when we got there (this was mid November) and took a few hours to heat up. It would have been nice to have our room preheated. Doc is very knowledgeable about the area and restaurants. Will definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful inn and we really enjoyed our stay. Doc did a great job making us feel welcome without intruding on our time. Breakfast was excellent and there were many other little touches that made our stay a delight. We hope to return to Buffalo Tavern in the future.

Doc was very warm & friendly....Room was very nice, and breakfast was top notch....Overall Buffalo Tavern B & B was one of the nicest stays we have had...

Spent two weekend nights in the Governer's room, which was great! Good room space, claw foot tub in room, but also a full shower bathroom built into the room for full privacy. Has everything that you'd think you'd possibly want, they have glassware in the room, tv with satalite, fireplaces, books, great porch/yard/views. Overall, I would never have expected this level of service. I had expected a small "mom and pops" place who might offer me dialup internet, but Doc is knowledgable and anticipates. Had wifi internet, etc. Great breakfast with some fun people and lots of great conversation.

It was our first visit to this B&B but it won't be our last. Our room was comfortable and cozy. Our innkeeper, Doc was very friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions for dinner and activities. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. There was delicious snacks and drinks provided in the evening for our enjoyment. Definitely want to visit this B&B again in the future.

What a wonderful weekend at the Buffalo Tavern B&B! It was just what we needed before getting back to business at home. Doc was a great host with delicious food and funny stories!

Doc made us feel right at home upon our arrival. He gave us a tour of the entire house and told us bits of local history. Prior to our arrival my husband had asked Doc about dinner and he graciously called a local restaurant and had our reservations taken care of. Before we left for dinner, Doc also made sure we had maps of the area and information about local attractions. We couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend at Buffalo Tavern. Our expectations of the B & B were surpassed just as was our experience on the beautiful Mount Jefferson. Sure hope the park can remain open!

To celebrate my birthday weekend and the New Year, my fiance took me here. As cold as it was, Doc came out to assist us with coming in. The ambiance was so comfy! The room was more than I imagined it would be. Breakfast in the morning and conversing with other guest was priceless. The views were awesome. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I did not what to leave! I recommend this place (I'm very picky) and will definitely visit again! Doc's blueberry french toast are to die for!

This was the first time we stayed at a B&B and we had a great time. We also had our first White Christmas! The room was cozy, the food was delicious, and Doc was the perfect host. We would definitely recommend this B&B to others.

Buffalo Tavern B&B was for us a very relaxing visit. Accompanied by beautiful scenery andthe beautiful stillness of the mountain side it is the perfect place to stop in and stay for a quiet vacation. I'd definitely go back for a stay!

My girlfriend and I stayed at the Buffalo Tavern B&B for a weekend getaway and were astounded by how friendly the staff were, how delicious breakfast tasted, and the beautiful quality of our room. We'll definitely be back!

The room was cold and small, but otherwise we had a great time. The location was perfect and the atmosphere of the inn was cozy and welcoming. Would definitely stay again!

My husband and I stayed at Doc's B&B to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time and the breakfast was delicious. The service was unbelieveable and everyone was so nice. We stayed in the blue room. It was beautiful and very romantic. We truly felt like we were at "home away from home." I was especially grateful because Linda allowed us to use her cell phone to call our three year old son to say "goodnight" when I discovered we did not have any cellular service. This was our first time staying at a B&B and we would definetly come back.

We had a very fine time the 2 nights we stayed...Brian Adams was a beautiful host.

Innkeeper "Doc" and his helpers went out of their way to make us feel welcome, informed, and well-fed. The building retains its historic look and atmosphere, but is fully up to date in terms of modern amenities and comfort.

Everybody shouldhave the opportunity to try the Buffalo Tavern B&B. After dinner I was able to go outside on this fabulous porch and enjoyed a rocking chair, good book and cup of tea. The moutains in front looked heavenly. My bedroom was relaxing and the bed felt wonderful. Breakfast with Innkeeping "Doc" was great. Great Experience!!

A very pleasant facility and owner. Very much enjoyed the other guests and really would have liked to stay longer. Good value for the price. Needed better instructions from southbound Blue Ridge Pkwy.

"Doc" was the perfect host. He knew I was trying to surprise my wife so he sent all details to my work. We were able to check in when we wanted, and had a lovely afternoon sitting on the upper porch looking at the mountain. The various amenities like turkish towel robes, fresh muffins and hot tea in the afternoon were appreciated. Doc was happy to give us recommendations for our dinner. The breakfast was beautifully presented, tasted great and was healthy as well. We definitely recommend this place to others and plan to return.

My husband and I believe that this bed & breakfast was our favorite compare to our other accommodations. Doc, the innkeeper, made us feel very welcome. Our bedroom was beautiful and charming which included our private bathroom. Even though it is an old house, I thought it was very clean. I loved the surroundings. Before dinner, we found ourselves sitting outside on the lawn chairs by the firepit enjoying the mountain view and drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies that Doc provided us. It was enjoyable to hear some of his stories during breakfast time. I would have loved to stay longer but we were traveling the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Smokies so we were press for time. When we are in that area again, Buffalo Tavern will definitely be our choice for accommodations.

This is a great little B & B, especially if you like old charm as well as modern conveniences. Nestled in the mountains of NC, it is very quiet & relaxing. Loved the big porches & the clawfoot tub! Doc is a great host--very personable and friendly. Would highly recommend it!

The Inn is the perfect spot for Rest and Relaxation! Doc was extremely helpful in ensuring our arrival and stay was well taken care of. The rooms are breathtakingly beautiful and the porches are perfect for rocking and resting. The sounds of nature - birds and the nearby creek add to the peace and solitude we found there. We would highly recommend this Inn and plan to return as soon as our schedules will allow. Breakfast was perfect. Thanks Doc for a wonderful place to escape too.

Our first B&B experience was with "Doc" at Buffalo Tavern in West Jefferson, NC. Doc, the innkeeper offered us a warm welcome and continual hospitality throughout our two night stay. The house is beautifully decorated and immaculate. Our room amenities were outstanding as the two person clawfoot tub added the perfect finishing touch. The breakfast foods cooked by Doc were delicious. We are already planning our next trip back to our new "home away from home"!!!

Recently myself and 5 other knitters spent the weekend with Doc. We stayed in our jammies until it was time to return home. We had a blast! The food was great, the rooms were great and we are already planning our next!

We had a blast! It was so exciting, I may never be able to remember my real name again. It was so much fun!

We spent a weekend at the Buffalo Tavern on a murder mystery weekend. The inn was incredible, a great mix of history and convenience. The room was obviously a labor of love that dazzled. The murder mystery was carefully crafted and perfectly executed, a true weekend to remember and one that we would love to duplicate. Doc, the Inn and his staff are first class. Thanks Doc, "Carter and Nina"

Recently, we took a trip up to North Carolina and stayed at the Buffalo Tavern B&B...it was one of the most relaxing, beautiful places we had ever been. Our host, Doc, made us feel like it was "our home" and we all had a great time and laughed til it hurt! The breakfast was magnificent. We will be returning to the Buffalo Tavern as soon as we can. Thanks again Doc! Rudy & David.

We had a wonderful time at Doc Adams' Buffalo Tavern Bed & Breakfast Inn. He made a special effort to keep us well cared for the week we spent there. His breakfast menu, food presentation and place settings were outstanding. Our rooms were clean. We felt relaxed and welcome to do as we pleased. We'd love to go back again.

We had an excellent stay at the Buffalo Tavern. The food was vey tasty, the company outstanding and the breeze on the porch a gift from God. "Doc" exceeded our expectations.

My wife and I love the area and really enjoyed our stay at Buffalo Tavern. Close to West Jefferson. The owner "Doc" was very friendly and helpful, and made a great breakfast. Rooms are romantic and there is tea and cookies available in the afternoon. Lovely parlor room, or sit outside on the porch when the weather permits.

Doc helped me surprise my husband for our anniversary.He even treated us with flowers,wine and strawberries.This was our very first stay at a B&B and the experience was truely wonderful.We were the only guests for the weekend and Doc was a warm and gracious host. You can tell he truely loves this home and the guests. You become instant friends. The weather was rainy and cold but our room was warm and cozy. I especially love the fireplace. The food was delicious and good snacks too.We had a chance to see all of the other rooms in the house which were as lovely. The porch is so nice but since it was cold and rainy we did not get to spend much time on it. The view is beautiful and all is quiet. Just what my hubby needed! This is a great Inn and would love to go again in warmer weather.It started snowing the morning we left,luckily we only live about an hour and a half away.We really enjoyed our first experience with a B&B. Thanks Doc for a great weekend! Betty & Mike

We have stayed at Buffalo Tavern several times over the past two years. Needless to say it is one of our favorite B and Bs in the mountains. As we love to hike the mountains of NC it is close enough to trails and the Blue Ridge Parkway to access easily. Doc is a wonderful host and it is obvious that he loves this home and has a passion for caring for it and those who stay there. The setting is quiet and set apart from the distractions of modern day life. It is nestled among the mountains and the views and porches alone are worth the visit. All that being said the town of West Jefferson is just a short drive away and is a quaint town to spend the day browsing and for dining. This particular visit we awoke to snow falling in the area. The roads cleared easily that morning and the only thing wrong with our entire visit as always was having to head for home.

Excellent, first B&B experience!

Doc was very personable, keeping us laughing with his stories. He made a spacial effort to accommodate my wife. She only -always- eats fruit for breakfast. Doc was very quick to see that she got that, while cooking a separate meal for the others.

Warm, friendly, great food and accommodations- wonderful host!

The heritage or history makes you feel instantly welcomed home. The luxury oozes from every nook and cranny. Doc is like a brother, uncle, cousin, grandparent, ready to serve and sweet enough to hug!
