Haskins Valley Inn at Bucks Lake

To start, Dixie, Ken and Deb are wonderful wonderful people full of life and engaging conversation. I’d like to personally thank each of them for making my stay feel like home away from home. ||The Inn is so relaxing and peaceful. Nighttime I kept the window and door to my balcony open and fell asleep / awoke to the sounds of birds chirping and cricket singing their songs. This place has everything one would need in a clean, friendly, well decorated style. ||There are six rooms each with their unique names and accompanying decorations. I stayed in the Victorian for most of the nights and started in the largest room, the Honeymoon Suite. All rooms have access to the outside. 3 rooms face the peaceful and beautiful lawn and gardens, 3 rooms face the road (but it’s not noisy). ||The included

Full Disclosure: This property is in process of being sold so some info may change. My wife and I stayed here for a night. It's a cute spot and breakfast was great! It's next to a general store and close to lake too. Mattress was in great condition. Very nice garden too! My main issue was the heat and lack of A/C. It was 94 degrees at Bucks Lake when we arrived, and none of the rooms have A/C. It was tough to keep cool as it was still 85 degrees at 10 PM. Also, the elderly owners don't open windows at night in common areas so it gets stuffy! Also, check in time is prior to 7 PM (elderly owners) so make sure you can get there early!

What a nice place to stay for several days near Buck Lake. No TVs or telephones in the rooms, wasn’t that nice. Nice upper deck where The six of us enjoyed wine and conversation. Everywhere you look at the inn was a pleasure. Lots of very nice walks to take. Overall we spent an exceptional three days and would go back again. They are not open during the deep winter season but from early spring to late fall you couldn’t go wrong.

There are lots of rules: No food allowed in the rooms (seeing as there are only two restaurants around Bucks Lake, what about the lunch and snack food we brought along for a three-day stay at the lake?); limit two guests per room, even if the third guest is a young kid, despite the fact that the rooms are quite large for a B&B; we weren't allowed to play games on the living room table or common areas (e.g., Scrabble, Boggle), because owners are worried their tables will be scratched, so we had to take our games outside to the porch; two signs around the kitchen area say "No cooking, staff only." The rooms are pleasant and relatively spacious, with nice jacuzzi tubs and showers (though one wonders at the wisdom of taking a bath during this drought), but there is no where to put your stuff

This is a very nice, quite, clean, peaceful place to stay. The lady (Dixie) that served our breakfast, set us up on the patio ans served a very nice breakfast (fruits, muffins, omelet, juice and coffee) she was friendly and very polite. My husband and I planned on leaving by 7 AM, we enjoyed our stay so much we didn't leave untill check out time. Thank you so much for our much needed peace and rest, we'll be back.
