Unwind in private Buck Creek Cove at this charming lodge with a 2 slip boat dock, PWC lift & a pair of kayaks. This is the perfect place for two families to vacation together! Guests have plenty of room to relax with 2 master suites, a third bedroom with 2 queen beds, & a fourth queen bed in the loft. The serene living room overlooks the expansive wood deck and private cove. Bird lovers will love the ducks, great blue herons and bald eagles nesting- bring your binoculars! Fisherman can catch bluegill and bass from the shoreline. This enjoyable retreat offers a lake swimming area off the boat dock, perfect for floating, cannon ball jumps, & enjoying the sunshine. Grill meals on your choice of propane or charcoal grills & enjoy group dinners on the deck while watching the breathtaking sunsets! After dusk, grab the marshmallows and make a campfire in the fire pit along side the lake. We are located on the west side of the lake, near MM 8, close to many lakeside restaurants.
