About this property

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 experience and looking forward to returning! My boy's loved riding the mini horse, playing at the playground, feeding the animals, and making smores at the firepit. Their service was amazing, everyone was friendly, helpful, and when I had questions and asked via email, they were quick to respond.

Great location quiet space

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 Family Adventure

We had an awesome Father and Son trip. Staying in the caboose was awesome. It was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed exploring the property and looking at all the animals. And the train museum was a blast. So much to see and to do. We hope yo go back again soon!

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.

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!!!!!!

This caboose stay was perfect for my train lover. We traveled as a family and there was something for all of us to enjoy. We got to feed theini horses, talked to the other barn animals, watched llamas, hiked to the playground, and admired the cabooses they had. The owner communicated with us frequently and was very friendly. The game room and store were perfect additions for us to enjoy. It was so fun waking up to seeing the bison grazing and playing in the field from our beds. We had so much fun!
