Buck's Cabin

TimRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Buck’s Cabin was most accommodating. The place is a hidden gem and the perfect getaway! I cannot say enough about Matt. He definitely went above and beyond to see that I had everything I needed and more. Talk about going the extra mile!!!!!!!He was definitely the perfect example of midwestern hospitality at its finest. I would definitely recommend Buck’s Cabin and am looking forward to my next stay there.

Cozy country 2-bedroom home with a view.

BobbyeRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

I did not think I’d find a place in Palmyra for my granddaughter’s graduation. This country living home was perfectly for the four of us. My husband felt right at home. The single level of the first floor provided easy navigation for my elderly sister. Sitting on the front porch with a hot cup of coffee listening to the birds and watching the horses graze in the back is a must. It has a wide range of excellent restaurants for a small town. Hannibal was a short drive to visit a slice of history and shopping for the ladies.
