We were in the area for a wedding and this spot slept our extended family and served as a great gathering place for a few others that were in town.
The long enclosed porch fit us all for games and puzzles and we made use of the decks, grill and the kayaks in the cute little lake.

We hosted a wedding rehearsal supper for our son and daughter in law at the property, then our family stayed. There were thoughtful touches of everything a family could need, including firewood at the firepit, disposable 9x13 pans, paper towels, freezer ziplocks for leftovers, tons of towels and washrags, extra sheets....you name it. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and canoes and the large lawn to play on, while the adults dined on the large porch and lawn (large citronella bucket candles were on the porch from the owner).
It was hidden away and quiet at night, and the beds were all comfortable. This is a rare jewel of hospitality!! Thank you!

Perfect location for having a group of family members to have a reunion or other celebration. Close to town but far enough to see the stars. Perfect setting. Thank you for a fabulous experience. We even caught fish in the pond!

Spent 4 nights here leading up to our son’s wedding in November and it was a perfect location. Wildlife by lodge every morning, plenty of space for the family and close to the location of all of our activities. Great experience and Kathy was great to come over and explain a couple functional things during our stay. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Needs some light bulbs and electrical switches check out. The pond was fun but the area by the dock and around the sides need vegetation in water cut down. Maybe a dock to fish off? Fire pit was great. A great state park closed by. A nice play ground in town. Overall 4.5

Perfect family destination for reconnecting and privacy.
Our large adult sibling family was able to connect with plenty of space in a quiet and beautiful setting. Kathie was responsive to questions and we had a blast around the campfire and kayaking on the pond. Would definitely recommend!

Family retreat
The lodge was great for our family retreat, 4 adult couples. My husband is in a wheelchair and we had no problems.
Kathie made sure everything was ready, the kayaks were very fun and we had a campfire one night. Great stay, we would stay here again for sure.

Fabulous
Our family had a superb time here enjoying the lodge and beautiful surroundings. It is so peaceful and lovely. It’s a magnificent place — spotless and so comfortable for visiting with family and friends. Perfect weekend! Jim and Kathie are excellent hosts and do everything to make us comfortable and welcomed. I would love to stay much longer and look forward to the next visit.

Just what we needed!
4 adults and 5 late teen swimmer used this as our base of operations when we attended 2016 Olympic swimming trials in Omaha. The accommodations were perfect for us. The swimmers used the boat on the pond (5 in the boat was a FULL LOAD), but they enjoyed paddling around the lake and discovering the frogs and other pond wildlife. The house had all the dishes, bowls, and etc for us to feed the crew (some steak knives would be good), but we did find enough knives to manage. The grill was small for the size of the house and fairly wobbly, but it worked fine. Our stay at Buck Run Lodge was a roaring success and We all endorse it wholeheartedly! Thank you~~
