We have been visiting Buffalo Creek annually for 12 years. We have a family get together there with our sons and their families. Such a wonderful time. Cheryl, her family and employees are all so helpful and nice. The grandkids and great grandkids love the petting area and watching the Bison. We stay at Tatonka Lodge at the top since we are a crew of 15 now. At Tatonka Lodge we enjoy the game room (pool table, foos ball, ping pong, air hockey, floor chess), the hot tub (always clean and comfortable), and my favorite...the fire pit! We highly recommend Buffalo Creek Vacations as your next vacation destination. The views of the Great Smokey Mountains, the area with Maggie Valley within 15 minutes (putt putt golf there), Waynesville within 20 minutes for your grocery and shopping needs, Horseback Riding close by, everything about it is just wonderful. Thank you Cheryl for always making our visits comfortable and fun!

We spent our honeymoon at the Buffalo Bungalow and loved every second. The cabin was beautiful and the property as a whole was wonderful. The owners were amazing, attentive and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. We're planning to return next year. Thank you so much for everything.

“If you’re looking for a peaceful mountain getaway, this is it. Bison Creek Vacations was everything we needed and more—beautiful views, a spotless and cozy cabin, and such kind, welcoming service. You can feel the care that comes with it being family-owned. The animals were a highlight for us—the farm animals were adorable, and seeing the bison up close was something different and special. We loved every minute of it!”

We had gone to Buffalo Creek two years ago for my daughters birthday and enjoyed it so much that we had to go back a second time. Staying in a caboose was so much fun. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. The animals so varied and clean. And we love the area! So much to do.
