  • Cheryl, Our family can only all be together maybe once a year and this was a wonderful place to be together. Your kitchen is the best stocked kitchen we have ever been in! Big enough pans for the 8 of us. A big part of getting together is eating you know. Your bison were cool but the goats won our hearts. One day we had to follow one up the hill, he wasn't the least bit concerned with us behind him. WE LAUGHED SO HARD! Your hot tub is an excellent place to look at the night sky. No town lights and so many stars! And the cabin was decorated for Christmas so nicely. Your location is great also, close to town and highway for our day trips.We all had 4 wheel drive but maybe a little more rock on the road would be great! We had plenty of room to play video games, put together a puzzle, eat, play guitars, play pool, take naps, read books, lay around, sit on the deck/porch and take long walks down the road. Thanks Cheryl

  • We had a great time at Bison.....I have not slept so well in years, between the rocking of the suspended bed to the hypnotic sound of natue, every night. And leaving the windows open to feel the cool breaze was awesome too! Your property is beautiful, all the friendly anamials to the wonderful waterfalls all around...and if thats not enough, I loved the views from the patio...would love to have a house in the area 6 months a year, and it would definately be just like yours......Thank you all....for everything, we couldn't have asked for a more relaxing wonderful time.....

  • Cheryl, I cannot thank you enough for having us in the Bison Overlook Lodge, Heather could not have had a better birthday. We were sitting around the kitchen table trying to find a way to not go home. We truly fell in love with the decor so much that Heather now wants a log cabin to live in. Your parents stopped by for a quick hello and happy birthday and dropped off a dozen fresh eggs, which were wonderful by the way, and they also invited us to attend church on Sunday(sorry we didn't make it). We went after snow and we actually got a few flurries. We learned a few things while we were there, my truck went up the hills just fine, but my next one will be a 4x4, Ranger Dan is not a man, one of the goats HAS to be pregnant, the stars are much brighter and we felt closer to God than ever. The view is definately intoxicating and I enjoyed waking up and hearing a rooster crowing. One of our best vacations ever.

  • We enjoyed this "like new" cabin very much. The bison view was great. The kids loved the playground and feeding the goats. The cabin decor was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for..... the approach was a bit steep, but our mini-van made it with a running start. Thanks for the memories we will be back.

    Thanks for an awesome vacation! My two girls, two nieces, and my nephew loved the playground, animals, and nature! They named each goat, loved “Ranger Dan”, and were a maze by the Bison! Oh yea the dogs also! We are full of hot dogs and smores roasted by the fire… we felt like we could touch the stars! My in-laws and I enjoyed the amazing views, and I loved my walks around the property. Hot tub used many, many times! The perfect fall vacation. We hated leaving the last two the clogging competition in Maggie Valley spoiled by the beauty of nature!

    We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed the cabin very much. The kids loved the playground and the friendly animals that often greeted us. Your cabin is beautiful and beautifully decorated. Thank you for the attention to detail. We enjoyed the hot tub and firepot. The Bison were also a special treat. Our family made many wonderful memories this weekend. God Bless this cabin.

    Thank you for sharing this lovely retreat with us. The Buffalo put on a show for us and the goats are charming. We spent most of our time on the blues ridge parkway and except for a small mishap with the motorcycle, we had a memorable time. We would love to visit again. Best wishes.

    Thank you for a great place to vacation, this is much better then a B&B, an infinately better then a motel room. All the animals kept us entertain while we stayed around the cabin & the playground was a winner! But it was the Bison that got us here. I did not know there was a Bison Ranch in NC! I thought I had to go outwest to see them--this is too cool. I love the mountains, & this is just one more reason to come back as often as possible.
