Donna-Marie and Doug decided to change their everyday hectic "city-Life" routines and opted to live life pure+simple in the White Mountains Valley in New Hampshire. After spending over 25 years respectively in educational leadership and transportation management dreaming of living a simpler life and sharing it with others became a reality when they bought the Buttonwood Inn. The Buttonwood Inn, a beautiful and charming 1800's country farmhouse sitting at the base of Mount Surprise was a perfect fit. Their passion to live sustainably and environmentally friendly while sharing their zeal for a greener natural existence was a major reason to embark on this endeavor.

The fresh mountain air beckons all who experience it to get outdoors and enjoy all that Mother Nature has to offer no matter what the season. We welcome you to share our homestead and its unique experience both inside and well as its outdoor surroundings. The Buttonwood Inn sits on 5.5 acres of secluded forested land at the base of Mount Surprise and Bartlett Mountains. Watch the wildlife from our windows or explore the many hiking trails just outside our back door! Swim in our seasonal in-ground pool or soak the days excursions away while viewing the stars in our outdoor hot tub. End the cooler days of "leaf peeping" on the Kancamagus Trail by relaxing in front of our multiple wood-burning fireplaces within the Inn or outdoor fire pits. Or maybe after a day of skiing at Mount Attitash or Cranmore get cozy and unwind by your own fireplace within your room. Farm to table foods, pure well water, artisan clean baking, handcrafted toiletries, and farm fresh eggs are a small sampling or the pure+simpler offerings.
