We had such a good time! I visited with my two teens and two teenage sisters and none of them wanted to leave. It was too cold to swim, but they loved the paddle boats and hot tub.

Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! It’s great to hear your teens and sisters enjoyed the paddle boats and hot tub—even with the chilly weather. We’d love to have your family back when it’s warm enough for a lake swim!
The house was AMAZING. Everything you need is included down to usb power by the beds for easy charging. The kids steuggled with the remote lights, but it was more fun for the adults.

Thank you! We’re so glad you found the house well-equipped and enjoyed the little details, like the USB charging by the beds. It’s great to hear the kids had fun with the lights too, even if they were a bit tricky. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another memorable stay!
Our family of six, plus two dogs, really enjoyed the quite, relaxing atmosphere. The house was spacious and the outdoor space was amazing!

The cabin had everything we needed and more! We had great weather for March and we were able to use everything except the paddle boat, platform and the floating mat. We had fires and did some campfire meals, played games and the hot tub was an everyday thing for sure. Area was also nice! Overall good stay

So fun, everything you need for rest relaxing and water fun!!!
Such a great place to stay! Had one little mechanical issue but they had it taken care of so quickly and were very professional and attentive to any questions we had. Truly a great place to stay, not a lot of boat traffic so it was relatively quiet. I gave this property 5 stars but would gladly rate it much higher!!
We were looking for the right place near our family and we found the perfect place in this property it held our family of 6 with much comfort and had room for the family to gather. We loved the doc and the water. All around great property to spend your days! Thank you.

A Great Weekend Away
Our group of 4 couples had a blast staying at this property. The owners were incredibly accommodating and friendly. The property was very clean and the 8 of us had more than enough space. We spent most of our time on the dock enjoying the swim mat, high dive, and kayaks. Thank you for a great weekend!

Very nice lake house. Lots of room inside and outside.
Easy access to the dock and lake. Loved the kayaks and pedal boat. Kids and grandkids spent most of their time on the lily pad, swimming, diving platform, fishing. Thank you for an enjoyable weekend.

It worked for our girls trip just fine. Was very clean. Parking for 4 cars was very tight. Wish we had better weather is all. Great big table for playing board games.

Buck Creek Cottage
We came to Buck Creek Cottage for the 4th of July with family. We were pleasantly surprised with all of the amenities included on our stay, along with the great service from our hosts! We had so much fun out on the lake, and loved the fact that we could come inside and enjoy ourselves just as much. We will definitely be returning!
Nice, clean and quiet. Home has everything that may be needed for a nice stay. Plenty of water toys on the dock for fun in the sun. Family friendly! O road store is convenient/close by and has lots of snacks, ice, sandwiches and bait. We enjoyed our stay.

Thank you, Matthew! We're so glad to hear the house worked well for you and that you still had a good time fishing despite the weather. We’ll be here when the sun’s out and the fish are biting—can’t wait to have you back!
We had a great time at this lake cabin. It was very clean. Pamela was super easy to work with. It was the perfect place for the guys to go crappie fishing. There was plenty of room and privacy and very relaxing. Thanks so much! We hope to be back!

Lovely Easter at the Lake
The property was deceptively large with ample beds for my extended family. The house was well equipped with great amenities including kayaks, fishing rods, and a paddle boat. My kids especially liked resting on the hammock while I roasted got dogs at the fire pit. It was a great week at a lake house.

We had a wonderful time and the cottage was very clean and comfortable and lots of amenities.
We had an awesome time, we will be back. Everything comfortable and very clean. Loved the two decks and the huge area on the docks.
This place would hold several people if need be, but we like the quiet cove it is located in and the calm waters.
Thank you Pam and Mike for everything. Great hosts, and any questions just give them a call.

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an honor to host you. Loved all of your feedback and seeing you enjoy the cottage.
The waterfront of this house is amazing. Dock is well equipped to keep kids and adults busy!! The house needs some work. We arrived and the house was 83 degrees! And we had water running out under the door downstairs. The property manager sent someone the next day but the first night was miserably hot!!

Shawna, we’re glad the waterfront and dock worked so well for your group, and we appreciate your patience while we addressed the A/C and water leak. It looks like we connected at 9:25 a.m. your first morning on this and we had service for the leak and the AC that same day. We are fortunate to have such wonderful providers here at the lake. We're sorry to see that this impact created a 3-star experience for your stay. We hope the rest of your stay was enjoyable and cooler.

Would highly recommend the house for anyone who wants to enjoy friends and family!!

Thank you so much for your review! And for your feedback on the items during your stay. We were able to respond to each of them before the next guest enjoyed Buck Creek Cottage. We love it when our guests help us serve better!
Our goal is to let families vacation rather than plan, schedule, map and more. We want to stand out in how we serve, not just the homes we provide. Of course, it's all SO much better when we have guests who appreciate and respect the home during their stay. Thank YOU for being an amazing guest! It's wonderful to share what we do with people just like you!
