The Bucksville House Bed and Breakfast, a registered Bucks County historical landmark, provides the visitor not only with country charm but also with over 200 years of Pennsylvania history. Built in 1795, the Bucksville House Bed and Breakfast has had several lifetimes and expansions as a hotel 1830, a tavern, speakeasy during the prohibition period and as private residences. Innkeepers Barbara and Joe Szollosi purchased the Bucksville House Bed and Breakfast as an Ultimate Handyman's Special in 1984 and began welcoming guests a year later. The Bed and Breakfast's decor reflects its 1790's to 1840's origin ; with a goal to replace the period-style reproduction furniture with authentic 1830-1840 pieces. Period style reproductions include four-poster beds, country kitchen table and cabinet, desk, bureau and backgammon set. Restored 19th century pieces, antique collectibles, original art and as well as nearly 100 quilts ( earliest homespun quilt circa the 1800s ) linger throughout the bed and breakfast. In addition to the all the attractions that make Bucks County so unique, visitors to the Bucksville House Bed & Breakfast come to relax and enjoy the on-site amenities and comforts. Guests may meander through the four acre site that includes brick and wooden patios, pathways, a screened gazebo and a stocked pond with walking bridge. Gardeners especially appreciate the water garden, perennial flower beds, grape arbor, vegetable plot and a herb garden patterned after one in Colonial Williamsburg.
