    My husband and I have stayed at the Buttonwood twice-summer and winter. The area has a lot to offer in both seasons. Bill and Paula are gracious hosts and make you feel most welcome and comfortable. Our room was cozy and clean, and nicely decorated. Breakfast is delicious, featuring local foods, and Paula's afternoon treats are an added touch. We also enjoyed the pool and outdoor jacuzzi-summer and winter. We have stayed at many B&Bs over the years and the Buttonwood is among the best. We highly recommend it and look forward to a return visit. Kris & Steve Millan Kingston, ON, Canada

    This was our first trip to the White Mountains and it just happened to be the weekend after we had been engaged! Bill and Paula were so wonderful, they upgraded our room and had complimentary sparkling cider waiting for our arrival! They were also very helpful with making sure we knew how to get to all of the activities we had planned and had lots of advice of places to check out. The food was FANTASTIC!!!! We ate like royalty with Paula's fresh baked scones, eggs, potato cakes, banana pecan pancakes, sausage patties, pumpkin cupcakes and cookies - everything was absolutely delicious! The room was charming and cute and very comfortable and relaxing. We also enjoyed the lounge downstairs, as we sat on the couches by the fireplace and watched a movie from their huge collection one night during our stay. This was our first bed and breakfast experience and it truly was a great one. We can't wait to go back. It is definitely a great and relaxing hideaway that we would love to become regulars at! We would definitely recommend the Buttonwood Inn to anyone traveling to the White Mountains!!!!

    We've been to the Buttonwood Inn twice now and we'll absolutely return for years to come. If you want a wonderful, quiet, cozy getaway in a lovely, quintessential New England inn, you must stay at the Buttonwood. Winter visits are especially enjoyable with the warmth and aroma of the wood-burning fireplaces, afternoon tea and homemade treats, and Paula's amazing homemade breakfasts. Heaven! The setting of the Inn is so pretty (nice because it's off the beaten path), and each guest room is beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable and clean. The whole experience is made even better by Bill and Paula... they are warm, gracious, professional hosts and innkeepers who truly care about the comfort of their guests. The Buttonwood Inn just can't be beat. It's a wonderful getaway!

    From the moment we arrived and met Paula & Bill we knew we would have a wonderful stay. Their hospitality is wonderful. Personalized service was a total surprise when comparing to other places we've stayed. One of us is diabetic and Paula made sugar free treats just for her as well as providing sugar free portions for our fantastic breakfasts. The breakfasts were unusual (to us) and very good. Paula is an accomplished chef. The entire Inn was homey and welcoming with wood fireplaces in the common rooms and gas fireplace in our room (#1). It snowed the second night we were there and in the morning the road to the Inn, the driveway and the parking area had been plowed so we were easily able to drive out. Actually, we were kind of hoping to be snowed in and have to stay another night instead of returning to home and work!! All in all this Inn is on our list of return sometime and on our list of recommendations to our friends on a must stay place in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
