    Great Vaca
    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.

    Magical Stay!
    We stayed at the Overlook Lodge for Christmas — and it was one of the best times we had together! A real one of a kind stay. Lodge was spacious, clean, with good-sized bedrooms, and the amenities were a real plus. A wonderfully set up Christmas tree was a great touch! And the fully equipped kitchen made cooking Christmas dinner (and grilling) a breeze. The lodge is also pet friendly which we were really grateful about. Getting a chance to see the goats, mini ponies, and bison everyday made this an unforgettable Christmas for sure. Sunrises at the lodge with a cup of coffee was just the ticket! Just 40 minutes from Asheville and 1.5 hour drive to Pigeon Forge, the lodge was a good central point to explore other towns and the great outdoors. Just to note, the pine flooring between the levels are not fully insulated so noise transfers easily. If you’re a light sleeper, I would highly recommend bringing ear plugs. Overall, I’d definitely recommend booking this place!

    Great Location for Making Family Memories
    We rented the Bison Overlook Cabin for our family on the weekend my son got married at Palmer's Chapel. Cheryl was great to work with and always responded to any questions I had super quick.When we weren't doing wedding stuff my grand kids (5 and 3) had tons of fun things to do. Buffalo Creek is family owned/run and they made me feel like family. I want to go back and stay when we aren't so busy so I can truly enjoy everything they have to offer. We definitely made a lot of happy family memories!

    Excellent stay for kids & adults
    Bison Overlook was the perfect size for our family of 6! The cabin had plenty to do for the kids inside and out. The swinging bed in the master was really neat! Beautiful views of mountains, bison, and other farm animals from nearly every window in the cabin! Hot tub & fire pit were great. Communication was fantastic as well! We all really enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back!

    Wonderful Experience!
    We have stayed in many different cabins over the years but our experience at this property was the best of all! We stayed at Bison Lodge and our backyard was full of farm animals that we just fell in love with. The mini horses and baby goats were our favorites and we loved being able to feed them, hold the baby goats, and ride the mini horses. The back porch has a gorgeous view of the mountains and we loved just watching the bison roam and graze. We loved just exploring the property and enjoying the views. The playground was so much for the kids. They loved the pool table, air hockey, and foosball table inside our cabin, too! The cabin was very clean and as Floridians we appreciated that the drive up to the cabin wasn't scary! The road to the cabin is paved and it's easy to get in and out of the parking area. We would love to visit here again!

    Lovely time at Bison Overlook Lodge
    My family of five (plus one golden retriever) enjoyed our time at this perfectly rustic mountain retreat. We built a fire every night and the kids loved getting up close with the animals. The nearby town of Waynesville has everything you need, including dog-friendly restaurants! We spent a couple days in Asheville, and even made the trek to Dollywood.

    What a Gem!
    Our family spent a week enjoying every bit of the rental house & property surrounding it! Cheryl, the property manager, was AMAZING - very attentive, helpful (we needed an extra high chair and she came through quickly), and kind. Any questions or concerns we had, Cheryl and her crew were quick to respond and manage. Everyone who works at Buffalo Creek is friendly and sweet! Our very young kids LOVED the animals and ability to see them multiple times a day + the playground nearby. The view is fantastic, the house is well-stocked (plus added bonus of toys & baby/child gear and a dog crate), and everything was clean and welcoming! We will be recommending this location to anyone heading to the area and would love to visit again! Thanks to Buffalo Creek Rentals, Cheryl, and all we encountered!
