About this cabin rental

Experience a one-of-a-kind Smoky Mountain getaway on a private 65-acre bison ranch. Wake up to peaceful mountain views and watch our herd of bison roam the pastures—then stop by during morning bison feedings for an unforgettable ranch experience.

Guests staying here can enjoy unique activities offered at the ranch including watching the bison feedings, signing up to be a ranch hand for the day, becoming a bison feeder, exploring our impressive model train museum, and joining in the fun during Hollywood Game Night. It’s an experience you won’t find at an ordinary mountain cabin.

With over 3,500 square feet, this spacious custom log lodge is perfect for large families or groups traveling together. The home features two private master suites with doors leading to the back deck, where you can relax and take in beautiful mountain views while enjoying the quiet of the ranch.

Inside, the heart of the home is the impressive great room with a massive stone fireplace, perfect for gathering after a day of mountain adventures. Comfortable seating makes it easy for everyone to relax together.

Downstairs, the game room is a favorite for kids and adults alike, featuring:
• Life-size chess
• Pool table
• Air hockey
• Ping pong
• Foosball

After a fun day exploring the mountains, unwind in the private 8-person hot tub while enjoying the quiet surroundings of the ranch.

Family Fun Right on the Property

Children love hiking through the woods to our custom playground area known as The BC Corral. This outdoor adventure area includes:
• Swings
• Zip line
• Slides
• Rock wall
• Cargo nets
• Teeter totter
• Horseshoe pit for the adults

It’s the perfect place for kids to play while parents relax and enjoy the mountain scenery.

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the utensils, pans, bowls, coffee pot, toaster etc. The wi-fi was great and it had Dish network. The one lane road to the cabin was alittle sketchy but we did fine with a car and a minivan

Nice cabin in the woods. Enjoyed the hot tub, camp fire and grilling out. Lots of games to play when it rained. Plenty of space for our group to spread out. We also enjoyed the animals on the farm, especially the buffalo feeding.

This property was perfect for our group of eight—including our furry friends! Cheryl was fantastic to communicate with, and when we encountered a minor issue, she promptly sent someone to assist. The house had everything we needed and more, from the game room to the hot tub. We loved walking our dogs around the property and had so much fun seeing the goats, llamas, alpacas, and bison! I highly recommend this property, as well as any of Cheryl's other rentals. Buffalo Creek Vacations is truly amazing—we'll definitely be back!
