One of the best vacations I have had in awhile! The property was amazing and so much to do (Also so much relaxing to be had). Cabin was fully stocked and beds were comfy. Feeding the goats was amazing and so cool to see the bison. We enjoyed relaxing and having a fire. I am already planning on the next girls trip and bringing my family up. Definitely a must stay in NC.

My husband and I came here for our first vacation and loved it so much we decided to get married on the property. Cheryl and her family went above and beyond to make our wedding day and time at Buffalo Creek perfect. We loved spending time with our families at the Tatonka, Buffalo Bungalow, Red Dog, and Timber Hollow! Beautiful property to stay at, and perfect location to explore the towns around as well. We will be back!
