Buck lake is a peaceful and beautiful no-wake lake, located in rural Vandalia. We have one kayak, one paddleboard, a small fishing boat, and two adult bikes (please bring your own helmets). Dr. Lawless Park is across the street, and there are tons of bike trails!
Our dock is a little crooked, but have no fear! It’s safe and sturdy! Many families swim in the lake, but they typically go the middle of the water, away from the seaweed, because there is a lot of it at the shoreline!

Summary: I Very much enjoyed my stay. I enjoyed hiking at the nearby park and going out on the lake on one of the kayaks. I spent most of my time on the porch enjoying the view and the peace. It was a perfect getaway.

Summary: This is probably the best cottage I have ever rented! It was clean, quiet, and cozy. You could see Buck Lake from just about everywhere in the cottage. The hiking at Dr. Lawless Park was amazing too. Overall, this was a perfect place for my solo retreat.

Summary: Lovely home on a small lake. Interior has been completely remodeled. Everything is here for a getaway! Kitchen has ample dishes, cookware. Listing is accurate. Grocery stores and restaurants are a few miles away. Jetted tub is awaiting a part for repairs. Easy online checkin.

Summary: I arrived in a rain storm, and was pleasantly surprised to have all of the little extras to help. Cf, cream and sugar were available. The deck on the lakeview side is where I spent most of my time. Just watching the swans. The home was clean and a very nice secluded spot. I did not go down the stairs out front but the deck below called to me. Awesome space to get away from it all, although not far. The hummingbirds were active too. A suggestion, as I could not find the front room tv instructions. I could never make it work, but the bedroom did fine. I would highly recommend this place to anyone just wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of life.
