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!

Better than expected!

I loved this cabin! My favorite was the swing overlooking the creek. It was so relaxing. We also had a fun time playing ping pong. It made us feel like a kid again. Great communication from the Host! We will be back soon!

Amazing weekend!

Amazing views and a great place to stay. Only complaint is when we went to use the jets on the tub they had mold coming out. Could use a good clean but other then that no complaints.

Unplug and enjoy

This was the perfect place for us to unplug, unwind, and connect with each other before the busy holiday season. We loved the quiet remote feeling of this well-equipped, wooded retreat, and how much this area offers. Hillsville, Fancy Gap, Galax, and Mount Airy, NC are all within a quick drive. We can’t wait to return! Liz and Mark

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.

Calm and quiet

The sounds of the creek are the highlight of this property. There’s a curtain you can close on the deck to make it more private. I wish the listing clarified that there was no access to the game room basement from the inside. You have to go outside and down steps to enter. The stairs to the swing were a bit treacherous at times. They’re made of gravel and small wood to hold it in but a lot of the gravel was missing from the steps. The board game options were pretty dismal as well. There was not enough hot water to fill the tub so by the time it was filled it was luke warm. When we turned the jets on questionable gunk came out of it as if they hadn’t been turned on for awhile. With that said, it satisfied what we came here for which was an unplugged relaxing weekend. The location is perfect and not too far out of town. All in all, I would stay here again.

Relaxing getaway

Beautiful area and nice cozy cabin!! Perfect for the getaway we wanted. Drive to the path was a bit of a surprise when we first arrived as there were steep declines and inclines on the path to the cabin but we put the car in low gear and did fine. Recommend for anyone looking to getaway to a quiet in secluded area in the mountains.
