Bison Escape... secluded & peaceful! Mini donkeys 🫏

Bison Escape is a part of Buffalo Creek Vacations, which is less than a three minute drive to the main ranch. The legend has been told that on certain nights of the year and when the moon is just right, the Buffalo Creek Vacations bison and their llama friends escape from their normal stomping ground to get away from it all. While at Bison Escape, they enjoy true tranquility and relaxation at this private getaway.

Buffalo Creek Vacations is where the buffalo really roam on this private 65 acre little piece of heaven tucked away in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. 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 from our viewing platform at the feeding corral, you will not be disappointed. Meanwhile, relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or cocoa on the large front porch of this log cabin, or enjoy a refreshing beverage after a long soak in the hot tub!

If you are looking for a quiet 'get away from it all' retreat, this is it! Enjoy long hikes on the main ranch property, fishing within walking distance from the log cabin or take a trip into town to do some shopping or antiquing. Bison Escape features easy vehicular access on a flat road. As with all Buffalo Creek Vacation rental cabins, the kitchen comes fully stocked with all cooking supplies essential to preparing a great family meal.

Once over on the main area of Buffalo Creek Vacations, children will love the hike through the woods to the 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 vacation at the Bison Escape is surely one that your family will always enjoy looking back on!

We are pet friendly, size doesn't matter!

What a cool place!
Really enjoyed our stay. The property is well laid out and has plenty to do for all age ranges. Donkeys, goats & sheep to serenade you and interact with. Bison feeding and viewing is about 1mi away, and was fun and informative. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful as well. Overall the farm is just a ton of fun for the whole family.

My kids and I had a blast. The location was beautiful. The hot tub at night looking at the stars was relaxing. The outdoor space was perfect. The game room was a hit. We made wonderful memories visiting all the animals throughout the days.

Great family vacation spot
We enjoyed our time at Bison Escape. The goats and donkeys that surround the property provided lots of entertainment. (Added bonus-witnessing the birth of a baby donkey!) The cabin was as described-actually much larger than expected. I wish it was closer to the main property. We thought we would be able to walk/hike to the main property but you would have to walk along a main road with lots of traffic so we had to drive. Fishing in the river near by is a no go (too much current and no real area to fish). The stocked pond that is several miles up the road and was recommended, was expensive and did not allow for catch and release. However, they did recommend a park (Max Patch) up the mountain which was actually quite beautiful- Had a pond for fishing and a trail for hiking. The drive up it a bit nerve-racking but that’s the mountain life! My negatives-the game room had a dart board but no darts and the foosball table needs some work. The upstairs shower had some mild mildew present in the shower (in the cracks of the surround) and the curtain rod would not hold tension so when you pulled the curtain back it would occasionally fall. The washing machine had a lot of rust to the inside surround so you had to be cautious when washing clothes. Nothing major or that would prevent me from recommending this property.

Spring break vaca.
Pros: Happy with the beautiful scenery that surrounds this roomy cabin. Donkies, goats & cows greeted us Upon arrival. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed to cook a good meal. Hot tub was nice. Cons: bathrooms were very dirty. Suite master bath has mold surrounding the tub and hair everywhere. We all used the shower in upstairs room. That shower was dirty too. Hair everywhere. Dust and dirt throughout the entire house. Floors were dirty. Large sofa is broken so we couldn't sit on it. Just the chase and round chair to sit on. Sofas had dog hair and crumbs from someone eating on it. Towels smelled funny and are torn. Cabin needs an upgrade and good cleanup throughout. I paid alot of money to stay here and I was a bit disappointed that have to pay so much money for cleaning. But the job isn't done properly. But We made the best of our stay.

Amazing property
We had such an incredible stay with Buffalo Creek’s Bison Escape. The house was awesome, the staff was incredible and the whole experience was just phenomenal. We can’t wait to go back. Actually we didn’t even want to leave. The Donkey coral was so cool having them in our front yard. They were so excited to have friends over, they are so friendly. The animals on the farm are so well cared for it was a joy to see all of them. I recommend this property to anyone wanting to stay in Maggie Valley/Clyde area. Easy access and such an amazing place
