Buck Inn is a beautiful historical building in a very quiet area. I do believe there were crickets in the basement, but fortunately, I love the sound of crickets. Our room, the Van Gogh, was spacious & comfortable. It doesn't have an in-room private bathroom, but since we were the only guests during our stay, the bathroom a few steps down the hall wasn't a problem. This bathroom was only in need of a shelf on which to put our things when getting ready. The in-room coffee/tea, orange juice, cream & yogurt/granola for breakfast was nice. It was kind of Mark to have someone there to meet us, as the house sits way off the road & is quite dark to find & enter for the first time. The outdoor areas are wonderful. This is not a walkable area & one needs a car to get into town, but it is very close to town & easy for our local family to provide our transportation.

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.

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.

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.

The inn was charming but there was no breakfast. Just had yogurt and granola. Coffee/tea keurig was good. Just would’ve appreciated bagel, muffin etc. Van Gogh room had bathroom in hallway, not in bedroom. It was convenient to our family that was plus to us.

Cozy, unique getaway

What a special place! The building is the product of an incredible restoration project in a great setting. Our room was quiet, cozy, clean, and comfortable. The shared living room area with books, games, and a grand piano was sunny and welcoming. We enjoyed the coffee house and restaurants in Downingtown and visits to Longwood Gardens, Marsh Creek State Park, and the Brandywine Museum.

Location was great, I’ll be honest in saying I’ve never stayed at an in Like this but our experience here was great. Room alone was incredible, the open living space was great too, would love to come back when the kitchen is open again. Never noticed our other neighbors, everyone was very respectful of the space. Our only issue was that it can get kind of bright at night with the living room lights on and flood lights outside the windows but the flood lights turned off exactly when we needed them to.

Cute little B&B in a green area of Downingtown. We stayed in the School room which was nice for a weekend stay. Plenty of short hikes within 10 minutes, and decent restaurants (if you like pizza, most of them are pizza places).
