Best host ever. Built us a bonfire one night in the fabulous large firepit. Beautiful home and plenty of space for our family of 9. Everyone had their own area. Very convenient to Ft. Payne and Mentone. Would love to stay again.

Excellent Stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our church young adults retreat here! It was stocked better than any other house we have stayed at. The location was secluded but still close to town. We plan to stay here again in the future if possible!

This was a beautiful property that seemed isolated in the country, but was only about 10 minutes from town. We thoroughly enjoyed our family reunion here and look forward to visiting again!

Family vacation

The house is laid out really nicely for an extended family with two two-bedroom family suites downstairs that each have a kitchen and living area, a large master suite, and three additional bedrooms upstairs. The kitchen is well-stocked, though measuring cups and spoons are sparse so you might want to bring some if you plan to cook. There were 17 of us and we had plenty of space. We really enjoyed the pavilion area with wading pool, grill, and fire pit. All in all, it was a great stay.

Exceeds Expectations!!

We brought our staff up for a getaway and was greatly pleased with the accommodations! Plenty of room to spread out but also a great space for being all together. And the outside area is fantastic with plenty of seating & eating areas plus games to play. Great for a large families, gathering of friends, or small staff & spouse retreat. We will be booking again in the future!!

Amazing home and host

We were in town for a family funeral and were easily able to house friends and family in this amazing house. Jeff’s hospitality was fantastic! And the outdoor patio area was an amazing location for our family reception and reunion. If anything, the house is undersold on VRBO. This is a no-brainer!

Great Buck Lodge

Our group had a great time at the Great Buck Lodge over a long weekend. Honestly the in-person experience was better than the initial pictures presented. We had plenty of space and enjoyed the extras such as the on-site grills, fireplace, etc. Additionally, our group loved having an outdoor kitchen close to the grill for easy dinner prep, etc. Pleasantly surprised!

This is by far the best VRBO property I’ve ever stayed at! Most of all, the CLEANEST! That’s the biggest deal to me! You’ll love this cabin, the host was extremely responsive. Thank you so much!

Family Weekend!

This house was wonderful for our group of 17 family members. The outdoor area with the tables and fire pit was perfect for our group. We watched football, played corn hole, and darts. It was the perfect setting to get outside and enjoy the weather. I would love to go back in the summer months and sit in the shallow pool out there as well. it was super clean and well stocked. So easy to book and to communicate with the host. We all loved it and will plan to go again soon.!
