About this cabin rental
Wake Up to Bison Views on a Private 65-Acre Mountain Ranch
Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the porch of a beautiful log cabin while the sun rises over the Smoky Mountains… and a herd of American bison slowly wanders through the pasture below. This is not just a cabin stay — it’s a one-of-a-kind mountain experience.
So Much to Do at the Ranch
Guests staying here have access to exclusive ranch experiences at Buffalo Creek Vacations. Be sure to ask about:
* Be a Bison Feeder for a Day
* Donkey Excursions
* Hollywood Game Night
* Bison Bingo
* Ranch Hand Experiences
* Model Train Museum
* On-site Massages
Nestled on a private 65-acre ranch, Bison Overlook Lodge offers peaceful seclusion while surrounding you with the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains. Watch the mist lift off the mountain peaks in the morning, listen to the quiet sounds of nature, and keep an eye out for the buffalo coming for their morning oats. It's a view you’ll never forget.
Step outside onto the spacious deck of this stunning log cabin, the perfect place to relax with a hot cup of coffee, cocoa, or a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the mountains.
The Perfect Mountain Escape
If you’re looking to truly get away from it all, you’ve found it. Enjoy peaceful hikes across the property, explore nearby fishing spots within walking distance, or take a short drive into town for shopping, dining, and antiquing in charming mountain communities.

The cabin was beautiful and beautifully decorated for Christmas , as we stayed there for the week of Christmas with the grandkids. The sunset and hot tub was an added bonus. The family loved the game rooms and the space they had not to be on top of each other at times.

A very kid friendly/ family stay. We enjoyed purchasing the bison burgers and cooking them for dinner. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire and in the hot tub! I would stay again!

We had the best time at Buffalo Creek. The animals around the property were so much fun for our children. They enjoyed feeding them and helping take care of them during our trip. The home itself was very nice and clean. Everything we needed was there upon arrival! We will definitely be returning to stay again!

What a great spring break vacation. It was my husband, son (11), our dog and myself. The cabin was very nice and spacious. We loved the game rooms downstairs where my son and I would team up to try and beat dad. The hot tub was very nice to relax in. My son and I have sensitive skin and usually break out from others hot tubs but our skin had no negative reactions which was amazing. We loved walking the trails especially our dog and the walking sticks on the front porch were a major plus. Our dog loves to hike and she was so curious about the other animals except the turkey she didn't know what to think of it and it's gobble. We learned a lot about the bison. And what an experience it was to watch them eat and hear some great facts about them. Found some goodies in the shop as well. Everyone we encountered were so friendly we felt as ease just enjoying everything. We stayed in bison overlook and it was nice to look out in the afternoon and see them on the top of the hill eating grass and having fun. Keep in mind that the cabin is just that so you can hear everything especially if you're walking around upstairs but we really enjoyed the place. Can't wait to come back and hopefully with more family in tow.
