About this property
1950's themed couples caboose on a bison ranch. Pet-Friendly!
OPENING JULY 1, 2024 This romantic place to stay offers a history all its own. Our Missouri-Pacific (Mo-Pac) Caboose was built in the 1950s and is appropriately decorated like a '50s diner. Just outside of the caboose is our American Bison herd. You can sit on the deck & watch them graze & play. Just down the way, you can check out our other animals: alpacas, llamas, mini horses, mini donkeys, pygmy goats, rabbits & a turkey named Pumpkin! A stay at Buffalo Creek is one you'll never forget!
Just 30 minutes west of Asheville, ask us about discount tickets to the Biltmore House. Plenty of hiking, horseback riding all close by as well.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

I stayed in the 1950's themed caboose. It was amazingly cute and so comfortable. We could sit on the deck and watch the buffalo roam the fields. I loved the fact it was pet friendly since my dog is my best friend. I got to experience this wonderful place with her. She loved the goats, Lamas, ponies and buffalo. we enjoyed exploring the grounds and shopping at the store. I highly recommend this place. Unique experience.
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The caboose was so clean and nicely done. The farm was awesome and we enjoyed the animals and scenic area. Would definitely stay again!
The Caboose was a neat experience. Very peaceful setting. Really neat to walk out on the deck in the morning and watch the bison. A one of a kind place. Thanks.
Fantastic experience! The caboose is as adorable as in the pics. The owners planned for every need you could have. The kitchen is fully functional and the bathroom is larger than expected. The fabulous little booth / nook up top is so cool. You can climb up and watch the bison roaming nearby. The owners were very helpful too. This is the perfect spot for a peaceful, away-from-it-all respite.
Beautiful property, with well appointed caboose cabins, many interesting animals to experience up close and a fantastic model railroad layout to delight in! The property owners were available on site and committed to guests having a wonderful experience. We loved this unique experience and look forward to retuning.
We highly recommend this vacation property. The property is a beautiful farm with bison and other farm animals. We watched bison grazing right from our unit only a few feet awsy! The caboose was tastefully decorated and immaculate. Theres also a model train track and store with bison meat and wonderful souvenirs. We really enjoyed our stay! Cheryl is a great host!
The Mo-Pac Caboose is great for 1-2 nature lovers and/or American history buffs!
This is a very unique place and a fun experience if you're looking for something different from the usual hotels and resorts. Up in the forest, off the beaten path with minimal lighting at night, but still felt quite safe - even took a short midnight walk to fully enjoy the natural night sounds like cicadas, crickets, frogs and owls, but mostly liked seeing all the fireflies (they're rare now where we live, in Wilmington)! The Mo-Pac caboose is neat, well thought-out, and very appealing if you like 1950s and 60s themes, or if you simply want a clean, unfussy, yet private place in a peaceful farm-type setting. Great place overall for animal-loving kids (and adults), and general nature lovers of all ages!
