Description

Grand Opening April 2016!!

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.

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!
