We stayed for 3 nights. The cabin's interior is just as the photos showed. Clean enough and well appointed. Be warned however that there is a very bright street light right out side of the master bedroom shining all night. The shades in the master are very thin / light filtering at best and the room remains so bright all night. I cannot imagine why they don't at least put up better shades if they cannot turn off the street light. We slept poorly.We complained about this the morning after the first night and the agency said they would send someone over to fix that day and they did not show up. We called again and they finally came the next day (our last) and what they did, did not solve the problem at all.Note, the house is fairly high up above the river on a hill, and there is a poorly maintained and steep trail through the woods to get down to it on which you pass some old beer bottles and broken glass. Once you are down there, the river itself is very nice!Note on driving to the house. You must drive up a very short but very steep and rain rutted gravel road to reach the house. 4 wheel drive recommended.

Excellent location, great service. Clean, well stocked, great WIFI. The best though is the easy access to the River and town. Todd is a great community. Checkout the Mercantile exchange and River Girls!

Had a great time at Bucky's Hideaway in Todd. Lots of tubing, kayaking, day trips to Virginia Creeper Trail and West Jefferson. House isn't fancy but has all that you need for a secluded and peaceful visit including great wifi.

We had an amazing time. the cabin is so cozy. wifi available no cell service. everything you need to cook or grill. We smoked a delicious brisket on the grill and floated the river. relaxed watching Netflix and played cards on the balcony. the porch is amazing. sitting out listening to the river below you drink coffee early in the morning was breathtaking. only complaints clear and trim the trees and over growth so you can see the river. you stay right on the river but can't see it for all the over growth. still a beautiful cabin and very cozy. we loved it and did not want to leave.we will definitely book again.!

Bucky's Hideaway was nestled in the woods high on a hill overlooking the New River - a comfortable stay in this rustic cabin with a well stocked kitchen, the living room had big windows, and a lovely deck with rocking chairs to enjoy the river and the woods. Very convenient to Rivergirl's Fly Fishing & Bike rental shop and the Railroad Grade Road/Trail for biking. We look forward to another visit some day soon.

Our family of 6 had a great time at Bucky's Hideaway. The large living room was so nice and the AC worked perfectly. The house was clean and had everything you could want/need. You can hear and (slightly) see the river from the porch- I'm sure the views would be even better in the winter. We hope to go back soon! Note- no cell signal at the property or anywhere in the surrounding area of Todd but the wifi and TV package were great! The GPS leads you to the cabin that shares a driveway so make sure you stay to the right after crossing the bridge.

A nice stay for sure! The cabin had everything we needed (except coffee, make sure and bring your own!). We loved sitting on the deck and the beds and cabin were comfy and cozy. Not something that bothered us much, but you do have to walk through a bedroom in order to get to either of the bathrooms. We would stay again!

Overall we loved this place! We loved where the cabin is located. Far enough away from the city life, but close enough to get what you need! The house itself is wonderful and equipped with pretty much everything you need. The one small issue we had were ants in the cabin. With young children playing on the floor we had to keep sweeping them up. Otherwise wonderful property and easy process!

The directions at the very end need to be updated and the gate lock will jam up on you, especially if you don’t position the key properly but those are the only things which will discourage you about this place. Yes, it’s not modern or up-to-date but why do you need those things? This place allows you to sip on coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night without any disturbance of tranquility. The river is a perfect mid point to enjoy kayaking or tubing, jumping out at the bridge grabbing a bite to eat and jumping back in. The general store around the corner is ideal and if you want to grab dinner you are 12.5 miles from Boone or West Jefferson. Perfect couple(s) retreat to just break away from it all.

This was quite the perfect place for my family. Kitchen was a cooks dream of having the right utensils, pots and pans. Loved the large tv and sitting in living room. The lazy boy chair could use replacing. Loved the outdoor deck even though we were confronted with some weird sulphur smell. My family had a great time and we all agreed we could definitely book again. Thanks for providing us a safe and comfortable place.

We really enjoyed our stay in Buckys Retreat. The cabin was very clean and well kept. The layout was comfortable and functional. Once we entered the gate at the road and crossed the bridge we felt like we were on our own private mountain retreat. The property was close to all of the attractions in the Boone/Blowing Rock area. The only surprise we had, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, was how low the bridge is crossing the river. There was some concern about the amount of rain that was falling and the river rising which could cause access/egress issues. We didn't have any of these issues and the little amount that the river did rise didn't even come close to causing any issues. I would definitely stay in this property again if we make it back to this area.

This house has great location for anyone wanting to stay near Boone and not be right in the middle of town. We had a great weekend getaway tubing down the New River at Wahoos River Adventures (5 mins away). The house was very clean and had every feature listed. The only disappointment was the grill, which we had planned to cook steaks on. It had sitting water in the bottom of it and didn’t seem safe to cook out of. Otherwise, we would highly suggest the house to anyone...just bring your own grill!

We stayed here this weekend and enjoyed our time. The house was neat and clean and the kitchen had all that we needed. It is not an updated house with fancy bathrooms or kitchen, but it was well kept up. We have never stayed at a mountain cabin that is so private. There are no neighbors that you can see or hear, just the sound of the river below and the birds singing. The thing that surprised us and that isn't mentioned anywhere is the wooden bridge that we had to drive over each time we left the house. It is quaint, but It is right over the river and we were concerned that with the forecast calling for a lot of rain, we might find ourselves unable to leave the house if the river rose too high. Other than that, it was a really nice location and we wished we'd brought our kayaks since it would have been easy to use on that river. Thank you for sharing your house with us!
