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.

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.

Grey Caboose Stay

Stay was great. Watching the Bison was even cooler. We got to watch the feeding and then later that afternoon we watched them out of our window. If we have any that was less than amazing, it would be the road in. It's a little rough in spots.

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.
