About this property

SOOTHING RAPIDS await at Buck Creek Cabin off Parkway / I-77 near Fancy Gap, VA

Come experience serenity --> Owner welcomes you to Buck Creek Cabin and invites you to relax and connect with nature! "The Buck" is nestled on a wooded hillside in the Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking the beautiful rushing waters of Little Reed Island Creek, near Fancy Gap, VA. Quaint and cozy, this 1 bed/1 bath full log cabin is perfect for that romantic weekend getaway, or a week of fun-filled outdoor activities. The "Buck" accommodates 4 guests and features a bedroom w/ queen size log bed, and a sleeper sofa in the vaulted main room. The 2 person indoor Jacuzzi spa/tub with gas fireplace view is perfect for that intimate, relaxing bath experience - a 'DOE'lightful way for a lovely lady to decompress. The separate bath boasts a full shower. A fully appointed kitchen and breakfast nook serves all your meal preparation and dining needs.
Outside, the full length covered porch seating area provides amazing views of the creek, complimented by the soothing sounds of nature and rapids below. There's also a bistro table set to enjoy that perfect cup of morning Joe or romantic dinner. Or enjoy your private lower wooden deck perched very near water's edge.
The lower level private game room is furnished with a pool/ping pong table, darts, card table, board games, and additional sofa bed seating. A full washer and dryer also complete the space. A charcoal BBQ grill enhances the outdoor fun on the upper level (located in front of cabin - charcoal by Renter).
The shared outdoor fire ring is the ideal spot for enjoying those evenings filled with toasting S'mores or glasses of wine together. Our creekside gazebo with swing, and private wooden deck sitting area, afford peaceful rest or reading pleasure while fully immersed in nature's serene beauty. Everything a shy doe and playful Buck need to escape, entice and enjoy life.
There is plenty to see, do and explore in the area also. Hiking in nearby Devils Den, Pilot Mountain or any of a number of state parks close by. Fishing on the New River. Visit the real "Mayberry", Mout Airy, NC for shopping, restaurants and antiques. Or take in the music at nearby Floyd, VA or Galax, VA's (Old Fiddler's convention). Many festivals year round in the area, as well as the Hillsville Annual Flea Market (one of the largest in Eastern US)!
The fun starts in the woods, where technology and stress end - take refuge and take in serenity for your mind, soul and body rejuvenation.
Welcome to Buck Creek - enjoy!

My only suggestion is noting a shared fire pit and river front decking. Neighbors were surprised to see us arrive. Everything was great. If, you were an older couple as we are, i would have hated if a famiky w loud kids were next to me and having to share the peaceful outdoors. With kids not always pissble.

Magic

This isolated cabin is everything it was advertised to be and I just wish you could all hear the view we had because pictures don't do justice to the sound of the stream dropping about 4 ft over 5 cascades right below the cabin. We had cell service (xfinity) and with an abundance of dvds didn't miss wife or tv, when not listening to the stream from the comfy adirondack chairs on the balcony. Very vell equipped and spotlessly clean, you won't want to leave

The owner of this property is so good to work with and was very attentive to our needs! Truly a wonderful experience and exactly what we needed.

Weekend Getaway

We booked a weekend stay, with plans to read, relax, and enjoy the quiet. The creekside cabin was perfect for us. Groceries and restaurants were a short drive away. The jacuzzi is a nice touch; requiring a little patience to fill but worth it. The kitchen is well outfitted with tools for cooking. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would visit again.

Peace and Quiet

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights as part of his birthday gift. This place was perfect! So peaceful and in a beautiful location. Listening to the creek flowing from the porch is the best way to start and end your days. Communication with the owner was wonderful, we will definitely plan to stay again when we need a quiet getaway.

Wonderful stay!

My husband and I stayed at Buck cabin for a short getaway for our anniversary. It was perfect! The cabin is beautiful and clean. We didn't stay in the cabin much, as we explored the town of Hillsville, but we enjoyed our time there. There isn't cable/satellite but that wasn't a problem for us. We rented a couple movies from a local redbox. We can't wait to come back and bring the kids for more hiking and sightseeing! Thanks for a great stay!!

Weekend Get Away

The cabin was clean and in a nice location. We loved the view of the river and the sound of the river running over the rocks. The drive to the cabins was fairly easy from the interstate (I-77). Cell phone service are good in the cabins location. The only negative items about the property are the hot water heater is not sufficient enough to heat the Jacuzzi tube water (runs out of hot or warm water before the water gets above the jets), there is NO WiFi (a good selection of DVD's & music CD's and whatever music you have on your phone), and the driveway is difficult to maneuver in with a full size truck or SUV (no easy way to turn around if you pull in the drive, and a long back out of it) more challenging if both cabins are occupied and the guest are driving full size vehicles.
