Tuck Inn's Innkeepers


The Tuck Inn has been owned and operated by 4 families since it began in 1949. Many of the inn's guests assume that the inn's name was just a cute play on words, but the inn was actually named for Edie and Albert Tuck, the local residents who first purchased and converted the 2 family house and started the inn with the purchase of two abutting properties. Over the next 30 years, the Tuck's expanded their operation eventually to 18 rooms for lodging and full dining. From all accounts, the Tuck's had an extraordinary operation and an exceptional reputation, but in 1979 Albert passed away, and Edie sold it the following year to couple from Sudbury named Carlson.

The Carlson's ran the inn for a few years, but soon discovered that inn-keeping was not for them and sold the inn after a few years to a family named Tranos.

The Tranos' briefly ran the inn as well for another few years, parceling off one of the buildings and eliminating the full dining, until, they too discovered inn-keeping was not to their suiting.

The local bank took back the building in 1989. The then vacant building fell into a terrible state of disrepair until your current starry-eyed inn-keepers scooped it up (or as some of our family members have suggested, were scooped by the bank) and we embarked on our new career in 1991!

Fast forwarding us by 20 years, we've reclaimed the Tuck's prominence within the town and run a comfortable, hospitable and affordable inn. You'll find us to be a bit older, grayer and broker, but still just as starry-eyed, for there is nothing we would rather be doing than running the Tuck Inn B&B.

Come visit and meet Tuck Inn's current owners and your caretakers: Liz and Scott Wood.
