Condo complexes and rental homes are often missing from the open data we measure, so the real number near the lifts is usually higher. The mountain's own lodging pages list them.

Good to know
How many places to stay are within walking distance of the lifts at Buck Hill?
We measured 18 places to stay around Buck Hill in open map data. None has a walk to a lift we can vouch for; 14 are within 5 miles as the crow flies.
Is Buck Hill worth a summer trip?
The map shows 1 trailhead within about 4 miles; Crystal Lake 0.8 miles from the main base. Lift-served biking and summer rides depend on the operator's season, so check its site for dates.
How high does Buck Hill go?
The highest point on our map is about 1,210 feet, and the lowest lift starts near 950 feet, a drop of about 260 feet. Elevations come from the map's terrain model, so treat them as close, not exact.
How do you work out the minutes?
Along a mapped walking route from each place to stay to the bottom station of the nearest chairlift, gondola or tram you can walk to, at an easy pace. Where the map has no route we give the distance as the crow flies instead of minutes. How we measure.
