About this property

The Buck Shack, cozy, little cabin is surrounded amongst 10 secluded acres of hard woods and pines. It shares the property with two other cabins. Here, you'll want to wake up early and sit on the patio with a cup of coffee enjoying the morning fresh air. Take a stroll down the hand made trails system by walking, snowshoeing or even cross country skiing on them too. With plenty of space, bring up your toys and go on nearby snowmobile trails in the winter time or side x side in the off seasons!

The Buck Shack can accommodate up to 5 people comfortably with a queen size bed in the bedroom and a twin over full size bunk bed in the living room. It offers Wifi access for mobile devices and a smart TV inside the cabin. It also gives you a half size Kitchen with silverware, plates, glasses, coffee maker, hot plate, pots, pans along with a few pantry staples, a refrigerator along with a microwave. If you’d like something a little larger with baking options, the communal kitchen is just next door for our guests to utilize and enjoy that offers a full size kitchen and also laundry that is shared amongst a second cabin on the property.

So, gather your loved ones around the yard to enjoy a summertime grill out. Let the kids run off some energy. Then as the evening starts, light the bonfire up to toast marshmallows amongst the stars. Be with family and friends again. Take a break and enjoy your retreat. (I recommend bringing picnic/disposable plates, cups, silverware if eating outside)

Before you leave, relax and rejoice on your days of adventure with family and friends. End your trip with a walk and listen to nature. Welcome to The Buck Shack where it may be little, but it's full of memories.

Tiny and Cozy

I loved the tiny cabin it was perfect for the four of us. The area was secluded but close to a few different areas so not long drive if you did want to wander out. The little kitchen area was fun to hang out in and we all loved the hot tub! Would defiantly return and find someone to rent the other cabin with us!
