About the host
Hosted by Barbie Hartsfield
Barbie (owner) designed the cabin after she fell in love with the area. She and her family built the cabin - - Her father from Wisconsin, her father-in-law, and son did all the work from ground up!
Why they chose this property
I love this lake 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 really great GREAT fishing!!
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 - the lights provide great night fishing. I've had guests that love the dock so much they have slept several nights on it!
Buck Creek Cabin is a rejuvenating - relaxing - escape "off grid" from busy stressful living place - hear the wind in the pines - the birds of all kinds - warm sun in the day and cozy fire and star gazing at night!
Buck Creek Cabin is amazing all year long - the FALL COLOR here is gorgeous - take walks and see deer - BUCKS - many in the woods - warm in the sun on the dock and watch for Bald Eagles, Geese, Egrets, and many other birds fly by, see otters in the water.
There is a short mild winter when you can take hikes and cozy up the the firepit and some campfire stories or soft romantic music.
Spring is beautiful and not hot and fish are BITING! Summer time is swimming and boating - boat to Goose Island just few minutes away and enjoy this sandy island and all the other boaters - it's a BIG FUN SUMMERTIME PARTY!!!!
