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!
Enjoyed our stay. Nice floor plan and plenty of space for 6 guests. House is dated but clean and comfortable. Hot tub was not in service but we were compensated for not being able to use it.

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.
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.
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!
