Buck Shack is Beautiful!

We wanted a peaceful getaway and that’s what got at the Buck Shack. We were a short drive with breathtaking views and landscapes. We enjoyed a campfire with s’mores at night. Enjoyed the sound of nature and birds singing. Had excellent communication with host and most everything we needed when we arrived. The indoor decor is rustic and beautifully decorated with small accents and details. Highly recommend!☺️

Weekend getaway

This was a perfect place to have a little get away weekend. I was a little misguided when I pulled up to the place and it was a single-wide. By the description we thought it was a cabin. Other than that it’s a beautiful interior and I love the cabin feel on the inside!

Enjoyed our stay at the Buck Shack

I had a good trip at the Buck Shack. The property was very clean when we arrived. There were a couple things that needed repair like the handle on the dryer and the shower handle. We were still able to enjoy ourselves and would likely return in the future.

Lovely

The Buck Shack didn’t look like much from the outside but the owners did a great job renovating the entire inside with a rustic theme. I went as a girls trip with a friend. Everything was clean besides the grill that didn’t work. However they had plenty of pots and pans and kitchen items available. If you expected some kind of land to explore be prepared for a very large incline. I’m overall really happy with my stay.

Multiple things were dirty when we checked in, the grass was not mowed at all, the water pressure was super low and not very much hot water. When I first arrived it was 59 degrees in the house.

Great getaway

Don't be fooled by the outside of this property the property manager has done an amazing job renovating the entire inside. We found the property very clean and comfortable. This is close to Amish country and close to the Denison train museum. Sitting on the front porch in the morning is a bird watchers dream. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Girls weekend

The decor in the house is so cute and cozy! The buck shack is about 30 minutes from some of the cutest wineries! With 7 acres of land the house sits very close to the road and takes away some private getaway! But overall we feel refreshed and ready to tackle a new week!

Cozy but dirty

The Buck Shack has a cozy, relaxing feel and it is located in a peaceful area (which was beautiful in the snow). However, the property could have been prepared better for our stay. The toilet rim had dry urine splatters, there were roughly 100 mouse droppings on the blankets, pillows, and linens of the smaller bed room, and there was evidence of a cat/s. My wife and one of our guests found (presumably) cat hair on pillows and blankets. Additionally, there is a water heating system in the smaller bedroom that sounds like a diesel truck firing up. At some point in the night it was making that noise roughly every 15 minutes. My wife struggled to sleep, as a result, both nights of our stay. Warnings should be given that animals (and which ones) are permitted at the Buck Shack. I have a cat allergy and became congested and began to sneeze throughout the stay. Warnings also should be given that you should carry in potable water. The water from the tap is brown and we chose not to drink it.
