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.
For entertainment, guests can enjoy Smart TVs. Washing machines, microwaves, and ovens are other standard amenities.

All aboard!

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!

Great Stay! We'll Be Back

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.
