Fishing Weekend

My son and I had a great time. The cabin was clean and perfectly sized for us. The only recommendation I have is the lighting. Dimmer switches seemed faulty and lights flickered when on. Lamp light was sufficient enough to not need them but I recommend having an electrician check on just for safety reasons. Otherwise a great place.

Awesome Lakefront Camp

A great property on the lake in a quiet, private location. The camp was very cozy and clean. I love the deer theme and saw several on the property during my stay. I was able to fish from the dock -it is a great set-up for a boater. Very cool cabin! Highly recommended!

Great getaway - small but sufficient

Kitchen well equipped! Can't stand DISH TV - but really don't watch much TV when we spend time away from home. Rather spend our time outdoors and take day trips. Don't know how even kids can use the ladder to get to loft. Lucky we didn't need to use. Wish the back porch was screened it. They have plenty of outdoor tables and chairs in the covered area where front door is as well as two very large BBQ grills (one front - one back) This unit is perfect for a couple wanting to get away for a couple of days.

Beautiful Cabin on the Lake

Small comfortable cabin on a lake including a great private pier. During our three-day stay, we had 6 beautiful deer appear on the property. Our only problem was not the cabin owner's fault. We got lost on our arrival because Google Maps does not have the property placed accurately. Apple Maps had it correctly mapped.

Awesome

Fishing trip with my father and my 8yr old son. The property is awesome! No nosey neighbors, the property owner doesn’t live there or next door. Beautiful, peaceful, and private. We brought a boat. Great covered dock with nice lights for night fishing and power to charge batteries. Also, the dock doesn’t have an owners boat in it or a lift that you are not allowed to use. Hard to find! There are no steps to access the dock, a plus. The house is a cabin and accurately listed. Well built, nice, accommodating, comfortable. Perfect for the 3 of us. We used the propane grill every night to cook dinner. The place has everything that we needed. Apple GPS took me right to it. Drop your boat at Pataula Creek, on 39, 5-10 minutes down the road, with a short ride by boat to the dock. I hope that I will be back.

Perfect

This was our second stay at Buck Creek Cabin and it was absolutely just as amazing as the first. We stayed a week and we can’t wait for our next trip. If you want away from everything and just want to relax and fish this is the place to stay!! Very private setting. The owner is also very quick to answer any questions. If I were to give 5 stars it would be 5 times that!! The sunsets are PERFECT for those special moments!!!!

Nice quiet retreat for a couple who enjoy the lake life.

Perfect opportunity for a couple who want to go to the lake country. Can even tie up your boat at the property. Close enough to enjoy Eufaula and Providence Canyon. Within two hours of places like Little White House, Warm Springs, Andersonville, Plains and Callaway Gardens. Kolomoki Mounds State Park is about 30 minutes away.

About the host

Hosted by Barbie Hartsfield

Host profile image
Barbie (owner) designed the cabin after finding the lot during a week-end trip to the area . She and her family built the cabin - - The mounted deer head on the wall is her son's first - - and he was a young teenager at the time and helped with the building work - as well as his father and both of his grandfathers, one came down all the way from Wisconsin to help! She lived in Tallahassee Florida at that time and now lives in Louisville Kentucky area.

Why they chose this property

Fell in love with the clear water and sandy beaches and tall Georgia pine trees and the surrounding Alabama Hills - the lake is Ideal for swimming, boating and fishing and has many fishing tournaments and events held at the George T. Bagby Georgia State Park which is just 3 miles south of the cabin - just a boat ride away! The state park has a marina and lodge and restaurant - boat to brunch!

What makes this property unique

The cabin is right on the water with large private covered dock and boat slip, electric and lights - it provides great fishing and the most amazing sunsets over the water! Great swimming and boating and nature watching and star gazing! You can sit on the covered dock and enjoy a summer rain shower - float on rafts and enjoy music from the ipod player that is provided. Dock is large enough for the whole family to enjoy fishing - the lights provide great night fishing. I've had guests that love the dock so much they have slept several nights on it! It is a rejuvenating - relaxing - escape "off grid" from busy stressful living - hear the wind in the pines - the birds of all kinds - warm sun in the day and cozy fire and star gazing at night!
