My husband and I spent two nights here recently with two other couples. Weren't sure what to expect, but when we left we all agreed that we will be going back. Everything was just wonderful. Rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Two of our rooms did not have a TV, just one did, but nobody minded that. (There are TVs in the great room, dining room, upstairs sitting area, and maybe the basement--can't remember that one for sure). Wifi worked good too.|| The whole lodge, including the bedrooms, was decorated with antiques, beautiful old quilts, ranch memorabilia, and great pictures of handsome cowboys and the town of Brewster as it looked many years ago. Pictures, past and present, that are a testament to the hard work as well as the joys and blessings of Sandhills ranch life. It was almost like a museum. You could spend an afternoon just examining all those wonderful pictures and ranching paraphernalia. ||Walt and Marilyn are certainly gracious hosts, and Marilyn and her staff definitely know their way around the kitchen. The food was plentiful and so good. If you left the table hungry it was your own fault. Breakfasts were top notch and the one night we had supper was Italian Night. We all enjoyed that.||We took a short walk around the town one evening, down past the church and the 1800's courthouse. We also enjoyed the view of the river as we sat on the large deck off the great room. Such a quiet and peaceful place. Can't wait to make a return trip. It was...
Read moreMy friends and I were looking for a place to spend the night when we were on our way to Mount Rushmore, South Dakota from Denver, Colorado. Luckily in the middle of the journey we encountered Uncle Buck's! |A very unique lodge, in the deep country. When we arrived we were lucky enough to join one of their parties, where people from nearby towns had come down to, celebrate a locals birthday. |We were welcomed in very friendly manner and we shown straight to the bar. Before being asked if we would like to eat dinner, as they knew we had travelled a long distance that day. Dinner was amazing, a home made traditional plate was served, and seconds were taken. During the dinner, we had the opportunity to be a part of a true country jam experience, consisting of many people sat around in a circle near the fireplace playing their guitars and singing traditional country songs. |After this we were shown to our room and this consisted of traditional decor which was very elegant and pretty. The beds were very large and comfortable, and everything was clean and in perfect working condition. |In the morning we were greeted with breakfast, which had consisted of pancakes, bacon, eggs and coffee. |Our stay was very cosy, and we were well taken care off by the owners Walt and Marilyn. If there was one thing we wish to change, it would be the ability to stay there longer and get to know more of the beautiful town! ||- International...
Read moreWe enjoy discovering unique and great places to visit and stay as we discover the culture of Nebraska. Uncle Bucks Lodge has a place in this process, as it seeks to preserve the cowboy and Western culture of the Sandhills of Nebraska. Marilyn was a wonderful host. Prepared a fabulous steak dinner for us. We were here only guests on an "off" night, so we had the lodge to ourselves. The room was clean and interestingly furnished. The atmosphere was friendly and a reminder of a past era when word was honor and honesty was a handshake. From the "just mix your own drinks and let me know how many you had" to the next morning "we are leaving for a funeral, but stay as long as you wish," the ambiance of the place was overwhelmingly what we all long for and remember. The price was very reasonable for our overnight, dinner, breakfast, and bar bill. I would say no visit to the Sandhills should be complete without at least one overnight at Uncle Bucks Lodge. The decor is difficult to describe, but a combination of Western, antique, hunting trophy, and who knows what else, but it works to make a very friendly and inviting ambiance. My wife grew up in Western Kansas and she said the place brought back all kinds of childhood memories. You may have to go a bit out of your way to stay here, but it is worth it. And the bar, wow, it is something right out of Bonanza!!!!! This place is an absolute must for anyone...
