We ordered the house specialty Treesmacker along with our lunch. We had a small mishap with a glass and the staff was quick to get it resolved. The food was good and the service was stellar.

He constantly asked if things were alright and filled our water cups ask with a genuine smile. Food was okay; fried pickles, chicken wings for appetizers were good. The Caesar salad was also darn good- had garbanzo beans in the salad and super crunchy and fresh. Disappointed in the fish and chips- small flat pieces of fish, five pieces but I'm use to the bigger cod pieces that you usually get at other restaurants. Our friends had the salmon dinner- looked pretty big in size and they said it was good. For staying at Buck's Lake cabins- your choices of eating out is a bit few. The lodge is cute, nice views sitting out on the porch overlooking the water- nice and relaxing. Give them a try!

Review for cabin rental. I usually scope out hotels and such…read moreon review sites pretty thoroughly, and thought I was pretty savvy, but missed this one bad. You can stop now and just look for another place. My wife and I rented a large cabin for the weekend, but found it grossly uninhabitable. We're fine with tents and rustic, but discovered we're not okay with extreme neglect, filth and grime. We were icked-out everywhere we looked, the greasy furniture, holes in every floor surface. Toilet wobbled, possibly the source of a recurring smell. Total loss: $200. I feel very sorry for families who drive way up there and have nowhere else to go, and are forced to stay and sleep in such conditions. We simply drove home, 2 1/2 hrs. My wife's such a sport, she was happy we were giving up, so she didn't have to sleep there... Mentioned our predicament to our sever at the marina restaurant, and a manager who tried to help said they get that quite a bit. The marina rents cabins too, but were full up for the night. Local tip: upstairs of Buck's Lodge is "okay," but ground floor and all cabins are for various reasons gross, unsafe, and falling apart.
