About this property

Cozy cabin at beautiful Bucks Lake, across road from lake. Recently remodeled.

Our cabin is 432 sq foot cabin across the road from the lake where you can water ski, jet ski, fish, look for bald eagles or osprey or just cruise. In the winter the cabin is only accessible via snowmobile or cross country skis. Its 4 miles from where the county stops plowing from the summit to the cabin and the road is closed to wheeled vehicles. The road is usually groomed along with many more miles of trails to ride or ski on. The bedroom has a full size bed, the loft has 2 twin beds and a twin size hide-a-bed downstairs. The kitchen is fully equipped with a microwave, oven and stove, and plenty of utensils. It has a propane fireplace and a propane BBQ. It has a large screen TV with DVR (there is no TV reception, but we do have netflix and Hulu from the wifi). There is no cell service, but it has a land line. There are two lodges with marinas where boats or kayaks can be rented. Each lodge has a restaurant, bar and general store. The area offers hiking (the pacific crest trail can be accessed in several spots), 4 wheeling, hunting in the fall and snowmobiling in the winter with many miles of groomed trails or boondocking, ice fishing, snowshoeing or cross country skiing. If you have questions call me.

Tom’s cabin was beautifully situated and located in a very nice, quiet area (Haskins Circle) with quite a few other well-kept independently owned cabins. The cabin was definitely “cozy” and a bit smaller than we expected, though for a small family with young kids or teenagers the loft would make up for the smaller living area…we’re just too old to access such a space by ladder. There was also a beautiful backyard and covered patio, plus a horseshoe pit and a fire pit area. We enjoyed our stay, just wish we’d caught more fish! Thank you!

Everything you could need is right there and it is located in a very good location. The area around the cabin is very peaceful and quiet and it is within walking distance to the resturant at Bucks Lake Resort and you can walk to the Bucks Lakeside Resort resturant if you like to walk, as we do. The Bucks Lake Marina is right near the Bucks Lake Resort with boat rentals available. We rented Kayaks and paddled to the dam one morning. It's a short drive to Mill Creek Trail head. This trail takes around the lakeshore with shade provided by the beautiful forest. Drive a little further and you can hike on the PCT. It was a very nice long weekend . We also met Tom and found him to be a very nice guy.

About the host

Hosted by Tom McMeekin

Host profile image

We live in Reno and enjoy outdoor activities. We are able to come to the cabin most weekends to relax. I grew up in Alberta, Canada and learned to enjoy winter activities because there's not a lot to do there in the winter. I've lived in Montana, Idaho and Colorado. Notice they all have Mountains? I have three daughters that are now grown and love coming to Bucks. The place grows on you and you can't wait to get back when you leave.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a cabin that we could enjoy year around. This is the perfect place, it doesn't get too crowded but still has all the amenities. We came up snowmobiling and stayed at the motel for a weekend in 2009. I fell in love with the area and knew I had to find a place that would be mine that I can pass on to my daughters. When I bought it, it was in pretty rough condition. My friends and I completely gutted it (this is when you find out who your true friends are), and remodeled it from a new foundation, wiring, plumbing, insulation and painting. We also resided it. Then we built the larger cabin attached to a corner of the original cabin. The road is paved all the way and in good condition. It is not uncommon to see deer, bald eagles, osprey and the occasional bear.
