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!

Beautiful Ranch and Staff

Very quiet and peaceful property. It was fun to see all of the animals and to be able to touch and feed some. Cabin was nice and supplied with lots of equipment for cooking etc. Really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Hillis

My brothers & my husband had shared a vision of expanding my fathers buffalo ranch when additional property became available to purchase. With all our knowledge & experiences combine we have built 4 log homes & have been renting them out since 2004. All the furniture in this cabin has been handmade by the wood on the property! Even the covered wagon bed, that was custom built my my father. Once my husband retires from the US Army in about 8 yrs our dream will be to build our log cabin on the property & be more hands on. God has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. We hope you love the mountains like we have all come to love being transplants from a very flat NY!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

While staying at Bison Overlook Lodge we feel you will really enjoy the peace & tranquility of being secluded on 65 acres. So many of our previous guest have wrote back & told us they had all these plans to sight see but then just loved hanging out in the cabin together enjoying the game room & the children all love the uniquely designed playground as well as seeing the miniature horse, buffalo, goats & llamas!
