About this cabin rental
Secluded Smoky Mountain Cabin Near a 65-Acre Bison Ranch
Tucked away in the peaceful mountains of Western North Carolina, this cozy log cabin retreat offers the perfect balance of seclusion, adventure, and one-of-a-kind ranch experiences.
Just three minutes from the main ranch at Buffalo Creek Vacations, this private getaway invites guests to slow down, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and reconnect with nature.
Legend has it that on certain nights of the year, when the moon is just right, the Buffalo Creek bison and their llama friends sneak away from their usual stomping grounds in search of a little peace and quiet. Their favorite place to relax? This tranquil mountain hideaway.
Whether the legend is true or not, one thing is certain — this is a place where relaxation comes naturally.
Wake Up to the Smoky Mountains
Start your mornings watching the sunrise over the mountain peaks as the mist lifts from the Smoky Mountains. Then head over to the ranch viewing platform to watch the herd of buffalo come in for their morning oats at the feeding corral — an unforgettable experience for guests of all ages.
Back at the cabin, enjoy a quiet morning with coffee or cocoa on the large front porch, or unwind in the private hot tub after a day of exploring the mountains.
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

My family spent an amazing two weeks at Bison Escape. We loved it so much that we immediately booked it for the same two weeks next year before we even left.

Buffalo Creek is a wonderful place for families to escape to. & Bison Escape is a wonderful cabin to stay in. The ranch was awesome & our neighbors were mini donkeys, turkeys & sheep. Our 4 year wasn't the only one who loved the buffalo & llamas. We will be back!! Thanks for everything!!

The house was perfect, location was pretty close to everything. The grandkids had a blast feeding the donkeys and goats with food that was left for them. We had a great time made many memories
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2022
Really enjoyed our stay. The property is well laid out and has plenty to do for all age ranges. Donkeys, goats & sheep to serenade you and interact with. Bison feeding and viewing is about 1mi away, and was fun and informative. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Overall the farm is just a ton of fun for the whole family.
