Lakefront "Creek Cabin" on Bucks Lake. Welcome to the Creek Cabin, a rare lakefront retreat located on the corner of Mile High Drive and Mountain Ash Trail at beautiful Bucks Lake. Nestled in a private cove, this charming home enjoys exceptional privacy, with a creek running along the east side of the property and direct access to the lake. Substantially remodeled in 2017, the home features updated electrical and plumbing systems, along with an expansive 800-square-foot deck designed to maximize outdoor living and lake views. Inside, the kitchen showcases custom kitchen cabinets, granite countertops, microwave drawer, refrigerator, dishwasher and an original vintage stove that remains fully functional—a unique piece of the home's history. The great room features knotty pine paneling, luxury vinyl plank flooring, thermostat controlled propane heater, overhead fan for cooling, and breathtaking views off the lake. The spacious primary bedroom overlooks the lake, creating a peaceful setting to wake up to every morning. Two guest bedrooms share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a shower/tub combination, while a second bathroom includes a shower and a large-capacity stacked washer and dryer. Additional living space can be found in the finished attic area, accessed by pull-down stairs. This bonus room includes sleeping accommodations, making it ideal for guests or overflow family gatherings. Beneath the home, generous dry storage provides plenty of room for watercraft, fishing gear, and other seasonal equipment. The home is equipped with exterior weather-protection roller shades on the sliding glass door, kitchen door, and select windows, while wood shutters enhance the remaining windows. A thoughtfully designed walkway with built-in steps provides easy access down the slope to the shoreline. The property's private lake frontage is located in a quiet cove and includes both a dock and buoy, making it easy to enjoy boating, swimming, fishing, and all that lake living has to offer. Whether you're seeking a seasonal getaway or a treasured family retreat, the Creek Cabin offers privacy, character, and exceptional waterfront living on Bucks Lake. This home is on land leased from the US Forest Service
