Just returned from a much needed, and long overdue, get-a-way. By chance I spied a warm sounding name of a bed and breakfast listed on a map of inns in New England I had. After viewing the website of the Buttonwood Inn my wife and I sent a deposit. This has to be the world's best kept secret! The inn... More

I was going out on a limb..... I needed to find a place to stay for 2 nights in August, away from the bustle of North Conway, close to Cranmore but more importantly a place where my small grandaughter and I could both be happy. When we left Buttonwood, I expected that her memory might not be as positive as... More

By following our GPS, we arrived the "back way" to the Buttonwood Inn on Mt. Surprise. We were positive there would be nothing at the end of the road! Surprise! Bill & Paula Petrone's B&B was well worth the drive. Having already been on the road for two weeks and ten states, we were perfectly happy to sit on the... More

After doing an online search, we totally fell in love with the idea of heading 'off the beaten track'. Having found this gem, I called Bill and made the reservation Friday afternoon for a Saturday night stay in room 10. Upon arriving after 1 1/2 hours on the road, we immediately were embraced with a feeling of peace and warmth... More

Innkeepers Bill and Paula Petrone could easily write the book on New England hospitality. Their pride and joy, The Buttonwood Inn, is meticulously clean and conveniently located on a quiet country road that's within minutes to all of North Conway's major attractions. The inn is beautifully decorated and despite the fact that it was nearly at capacity during our visit,... More

It's rare and wonderful to find people running an inn who really love what they do. Bill and Paula were wonderful hosts - there if we needed to ask questions, but not intrusive. Paula made delicious breakfasts and afternoon snacks. Bill kept the warm fireplace going in the common area. We were lucky to stay there right after the large... More

But not really.... If you've been fortunate enough to experience the magic that is Bill and Paula, then you know there is no end to the lengths they will go to make you feel at home....in their home. Paula is a Houdini of the kitchen and creates the most amazing breakfast and snacks to accommodate our friend who needs a... More

My husband of 28 years has surprised me in the past with a weekend at the Buttonwood Inn; this time I did the same for him. We were escaping the hustle and bustle of the Christmas Season. It is amazing there; the atmosphere, the culinary delights not to mention the inn keepers Paula and Bill. They also have been married... More

From the moment we checked in until we left with Bill and Paula waving as we drove down the drivway, everything was excellent at the Buttonwood Inn. We were there the week before Christmas with our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren 3, 6 and 9. We all had a wonderful time and there was plenty for all to do. The... More
