About this property
Timber Hollow:2 master suites on a bison ranch!
Looking to get away to the mountains with your family? Timber Hollow is the perfect choice for large families, or groups, traveling together!
Our custom log cabin sits on a private 65 acre buffalo ranch. Enjoy viewing our buffalo when you drive in or stop by in the morning at feeding time! This cabin is nestled in the woods & has plenty of space for families traveling together. So, whether you are looking to hit the slopes at Cataloochee Ski Resort in Maggie Valley (only 12 miles away) or visit the Biltmore Estate in Asheville (only 30 minutes), there is plenty for everyone to do in The Great Smoky Mountains!
Timber Hollow is ideal for large families vacationing together because we have 2 master suites as well as a 2nd kitchen downstairs! You can store extra food in the downstairs fridge!
Also, rest assured the children will be well entertained downstairs in the game room where we have a pool table & ping pong. There is a foosball table in the loft. Also enjoy an evening in our 6-8 person hot tub out back!
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!
If you are looking for a quiet 'get away from it all' retreat, this is it! Enjoy long hikes on the property, fishing on the Pigeon River (within walking distance from the log cabin) or take a trip into town to do some shopping or antiquing.
We are pet friendly, size doesn't matter!
Cabin is tastefully decorated during the holidays as well!
We hope many wonderful memories will be made while vacationing at Timber Hollow!

We were 2 families with 3 girls (ages 9, 10, and 12) and we all had a wonderful time! The kids just absolutely loved running around the place, feeding the animals, playing with the dogs; playing at the playground, and playing tetherball! They were “ranch hands” in the mornings and loved it. We had fires in the outdoor pit, and we could see the bison from there. We had fires inside in the fireplace too (fireplace was upstairs for some reason, instead of in the main floor living room, but, we still enjoyed it. We played pool and soaked in the jacuzzi We got in-cabin massages by Beth who was amazing! And we all did horseback riding, getting gorgeous amazing views! Cheryl was an amazing host, always around and very kind. I’m sure we’ll be back soon!

Thank you for your review Jill, so nice meeting you all. Cheryl
We absolutely loved our stay at Timber Hollow! The cabin was clean and comfortable. Easy check in and great communication. We enjoyed walking around the ranch, seeing the animals, learning about the bison, spending time outside roasting marshmallows & being able to simply enjoy family time. We hope to return again!

Rented this cabin for my family for our son’s 18th birthday. Although my husband and I only got to visit for a few hours because of work obligations, this place was exactly what I wanted! The rest of my family had a wonderful weekend! Definitely plan on visiting again!

Great cabin on the farm!
Really enjoyed our stay at timber hollow, kids loved being on the bison farm, and seeing the other animals. Great family operated place. The only thing I'd recommend is 4 wheel drive, as the drive up to the house could be slick when raining/snowing.

Dear Michael,
So glad you enjoyed your stay at Buffalo Creek Vacations. In the event of snow, we do plow our roads. We just poured concrete on another portion of our driveway & have plans on doing this driveway soon as well. Thanks for the feedback.
Cheryl
Our family enjoyed our stay at Timber Hollow. The little ones enjoyed the Buffalo and feeding the goats. The playground was a bit challenging to get to, but we found it.

We had a group of 8 and 2 dogs. The cabin was spacious with privacy for multiple couples. Beds were comfortable. Property was beautiful. We enjoyed visiting the animals and watching the bison feeding. Hiking around the property was a great workout. The pool table and hot tub was our favorite. Cheryl and her family were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely visit again.

Nice, Very Organized
We enjoyed our stay, overall, there is a possibility of a mouse on the 2nd floor whose noises made it difficult for one of our guests to fall asleep to.

Pretty far drive from Asheville. It’s more convenient to travel to Waynesville, which is still a 16 to 18 minute drive. It is certainly remote. All that to say, if you are looking for remote, this is it! Nice family owned business. Cool activities for kids 13 and under.

Perfect family retreat
We loved our mini vacation at Timber Hollow. We were looking for somewhere for our large family to stay while we explored nearby Ashville, but the majority of our time was spent on the property! Everyone enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, ping-pong, foozball, and the Buffalo and other animals so much, that we stayed in much more than we normally do on vacation. The kitchen was well appointed, the property managers were helpful, and the views were beautiful! We picked up some ground Buffalo at the outpost, which made delicious burgers. Fire pit and grill were other added amenities.

Four Generations Together at Timber Hollow
Our four generations - from 7 months to 73 years old - had a wonderful time in Timber Hollow! Every day was special, beginning with the daily bison feeding at the end of our driveway, followed by visits to the goats, donkey, horses, llamas, and alpacas. Then back up to our beautiful home that had everything we needed for our two weeks' getaway. We so enjoyed everything - the hot tub, the large bedrooms, the fully stocked kitchen, grilling out - the firepit - it was all perfect. And it was in the best location - close to Maggie Valley and Waynesville. We hope to return soon!

Family fun
We had such a great time at Timber Hollow! The kids loved feeding the animals each day. The hottub was so relaxing and the two master bedrooms (comfy beds) worked out perfectly for our family. The owners were very helpful and responsive; they thought of everything from supplying the s'mores to stocking the kitchen with a spice rack and crockpot. We felt right at home! The only con I could think of is that we saw spiders and cobwebs in the cabin but leave it to my toddler to find everything. All in all we would stay here again in a heartbeat for another mountain weekend asventure. Thanks for having us!
Response from VrboOwner on 26 March 2020
Dear Anne,
I am so glad you all enjoyed your stay at Timber Hollow. Thank you for being our very 1st guest to this cabin. I also appreciate you letting me know about the spiders & cobwebs. We were so busy w/ renovations getting it ready on time that some must have been overlooked. My apologies! We do have a pest control company that comes out & sprays & we will have them come back out ASAP & spray again. Thanks for taking the time to leave us feedback online. Sincerely, Cheryl
Beautiful location and accommodations are great! Quaint log house is well outfitted with furnishings and kitchen utensils.
Bring your own bathroom and shower supplies. Only real negative is no trash dumpster on site. You have to take your own trash to the "dump" on your way to town or live with it in the unit.
Overall, a great choice. Be sure to watch the Bison feeding! Educational and entertaining. P.S. They are BIG!

Thanks for taking time to leave us a review. Glad you enjoyed your stay. We chose not to bring a big dumpster to the property to avoid unwanted animals. Since the county reclyce center is less then a mile from the property & conviently located right off the road anytime you leave the property.

Bison, Llamas, & Goats oh my!
I would like to say "THANK YOU", for creating a space that my teenage kids actually enjoyed going to & didn't ask for the wifi password when we arrived! They actually DIDNOT go through withdrawals from not being on their x-box!
The cabin was easy to find upon arrival & the directions that Cheryl sent for check in were perfect!
Our 1st morning there we arrived in time to see the bison feeding..wow, such majestic animals! It was so cool that all we had to do was walk down the driveway!
The cabin was really clean & comfy! Had everything in the kitchen that we needed to save money & cook in. The one thing that was awesome, my family LOVES French toast & I do not like cooking that in a frying pan, but I forgot my griddle, & they had one! These owners have thought of absolutely everything!
The kids loved making a fire outside & hiking to the playground. Thanks again, we really enjoyed our family time at this cabin & plan on coming back this summer to explore the area more & going hiking to all the great water falls!

My Family Loved It Here!
The surroundings were peaceful as well as beautiful-there are other rentals on the property but we never saw nor heard anyone else! I hiked the property every morning for a great cardio and we were all in the hot tub as much as possible. We had 4 children, 4 adults and 1 dog and all had enough room to spread out and be comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked to cook just about anything, even had plastic ware to use when eating outside on the patio! The dog loved his crate that was already assembled for him to use- so happy he could come with us on vacation. We were a beautiful scenic 45 min drive to just about all the places we wanted to visit ( Asheville and the Great Smoky Mt. Nat'l Park) so it was conveniently located for us. The kids enjoyed the swing on the property as well as the fire pit every night for s'mores (that were provided =), along with the feeding of the baby goats, playing giant checkers and foosball and the wifi available, noone was ever bored. Everyone had a great time and living was easy there. Very glad we stayed!
((We were only the 2nd family there~so I'm sure things will get worked out, but we did need reading lights on the nightstands in the Master and hangers or dressers in the bunk rooms. Also ice cube trays. ;))

Great family atmosphere and place to stay! Enjoyed being able to take the kids to see the Bison being fed and learn about them.
Playground and conveniently located!
Enjoyed the proximity to Asheville and really enjoyed Waynesville. House was clean and amenities were appreciated such as spices, s’more ingredients (need to bring sticks) towels including extras for the hot tub. (need to bring bar soap). Enjoyed watching the bison feeding. Good communication, nice, large rooms. Great experience for our annual girls trip!
The Timber Hollow cabin was perfect for family of 8. Kids loved the animals, hot tub, and having a pool table in the cabin. Easy walk to river for kids to wade and skip rocks. Very clean and furnished cabin. Was convenient to golf, hiking and white water rafting. Grilled burgers and made s’mores by the fire pit. The driveway is a challenge the first time without AWD but after the first time, it was no problem! Highly recommend!!
Timber Hallow at Buffalo Creek Vacations was absolutely the perfect getaway for our family! From the bison viewing/feeding to the friendly llamas and hungry goats, to a beautifully cozy cabin with a pool table, foosball, and hot tub - this listing had it all! Highly recommended if you are looking for a secluded vacation spot with onsite activities.

About the host
Hosted by Cheryl Hillis
My brothers & my husband had shared a vision of expanding my fathers buffalo ranch when additional property became available to purchase. With all our knowledge & experiences combine we have built 4 log homes & have been renting them out since 2004. All the furniture in this cabin has been handmade by the wood on the property! Even the covered wagon bed, that was custom built my my father. Once my husband retires from the US Army in about 8 yrs our dream will be to build our log cabin on the property & be more hands on. God has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. We hope you love the mountains like we have all come to love being transplants from a very flat NY!
What makes this property unique
While staying at Timber Hollow we feel you will really enjoy the peace & tranquility of being secluded on 65 acres. So many of our previous guest have wrote back & told us they had all these plans to sight see but then just loved hanging out in the cabin together enjoying the big game room & the children all love the uniquely designed playground as well as seeing the miniature horse, buffalo, goats & llamas.
