A New Season at The Buxton

Historic Hospitality,
Thoughtfully Restored

The Buxton Inn has always belonged to more than its overnight guests. It belongs to the village, to Denison weekends, to family celebrations, to quiet getaways, to candlelit dinners, and to the stories people carry home.

Now, the inn is being carefully refreshed for a new season of hospitality, honoring its history while creating a more comfortable, welcoming, and lively experience for today.
