What guests say
8.1 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 119 guest reviews
Buckhorn Resort wins consistent praise for its friendly staff, excellent lakeside restaurant, and scenic remote setting that appeals strongly to outdoor enthusiasts. However, the aging rooms — with dated décor, worn mattresses, occasional mustiness, and no air conditioning — are a recurring frustration that tempers the overall experience. Guests willing to trade modern comforts for a budget-friendly, nature-immersed stay tend to leave satisfied.
