Wake Up to Bison Views on a Private 65-Acre Mountain Ranch

Imagine sipping your morning coffee on the porch of a beautiful log cabin while the sun rises over the Smoky Mountains… and a herd of American bison slowly wanders through the pasture below. This is not just a cabin stay — it’s a one-of-a-kind mountain experience.

Nestled on a private 65-acre ranch, Bison Overlook Lodge offers peaceful seclusion while surrounding you with the natural beauty of the Smoky Mountains. Watch the mist lift off the mountain peaks in the morning, listen to the quiet sounds of nature, and keep an eye out for the buffalo coming for their morning oats. It's a view you’ll never forget.

Step outside onto the spacious deck of this stunning log cabin, the perfect place to relax with a hot cup of coffee, cocoa, or a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the mountains.

The Perfect Mountain Escape

If you’re looking to truly get away from it all, you’ve found it. Enjoy peaceful hikes across the property, explore nearby fishing spots within walking distance, or take a short drive into town for shopping, dining, and antiquing in charming mountain communities.
