Sleep in a caboose on a 65 acre buffalo ranch!

Looking for a completely unique vacation? Sleep in our restored 1960's caboose! Completely renovated on the inside to ensure rest & relaxation while visiting the Smokies. The caboose has a private master bedroom, a cupola for the kids to sleep in, a full kitchen to cook meals in! You can literally lay in bed & see the buffalo herd out in the pasture!

Enjoy making memories while making smores over the fire pit outside as you watch the bison grazing in the field. Truly, Buffalo roam on this private 65 acre little piece of heaven tucked away in the mountains. Whether watching the sunrise over the mountain peaks while the Smoky Mountains clear up for a beautiful day, or setting your sights on our herd of buffalo coming for their morning oats. You will not be disappointed while you are enjoying a hot cup of coffee or cocoa on our large back deck of a unique rental!

If you are looking for a quiet 'get away from it all' retreat, this is it! Enjoy long hikes on the property, fishing within walking distance from the caboose or take a trip into town to do some shopping or antiquing.

Children will love the hike through the woods to the brand play area, The BC Corral! This custom designed area has everything from swings, zip line, slides, teeter totter, cargo nets, rock wall & even a horse shoe pit for the adults! The kids will love it here!

A stay at Buffalo Creek Vacations is surely one that your family will always enjoy looking back on!

We are pet friendly, size doesn't matter!

Amazing Bison Ranch

This was an incredible experience. The caboose was clean and everyone was very friendly. The animals were the best part of the experience. I recommend helping as much as possible with feeding the animals and really immersing yourself in the experience.

Fun, different

Definitely a new experience, a very interesting and fun trip. This one will stand out. Staying in a train car was a first for us and the animals were great. Store and game room on site. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Seems remote, however, short drive to grocery store, restaurants and just a little farther to Walmart. Great getaway. Would definitely recommend!!!!!!

See Bison in North Carolina

This was so much fun! Sleeping in a beautiful caboose and watching bison...I wish we could have stayed longer. The owners are such nice people and very great communicators. If you have kids, they would love this. If you are just a couple looking for a really cool place to stay, or if you are a daughter and mother like we were, it's a lot of fun.

Unique place to stay

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy caboose. The property was exactly as described. I'm addition to having the bison right across the lane there are also llamas, alpacas, goats, bunnies and other animals to see just a short walk from the caboose. Cheryl was very helpful and available via text with any questions we had. Waynesville, Maggie Valley and Lake Junaluska and the Blue Ridge Parkway are just a short drive away for plenty of things to do.

Wonderful time connecting with nature

Our 2 small children fell in love with the caboose! It was a fun experience and a good size for our little family of 4. Cheryl and Jeff were so welcoming. We enjoyed feeding the goats, hiking the grounds, playing on the playground and in the game room, watching the bison from the caboose, and close-up at the morning feeding. We'll definitely come back.

This a is a really unique and cozy place to stay. The location is super beautiful and extremely quiet. And who knew there would be alpacas, a mini horse, a mini donkey, goats, chickens, a turkey and the friendliest rabbits I've ever met? It was perfect for my husband and me and our teen son.

Great getaway vacation!

We booked this place for our 3 year old son who loves trains and it did not disappoint! The caboose was clean and felt very spacious. There was so much to do on the property we really never had to leave. The staff were so friendly and by the end of our stay we felt like we knew them. We got to watch the buffalo each morning and evening. The staff made sure that my son got to pet and interact with all of the animals and were so hands on with everything. We will definitely be back!
