The Space:
Coziness is yours in this lovely log cabin! In the main living room, there’s a wood burning fireplace to sit around with the family while you sip cocoa as well as plenty of comfy seating. The cool round swivel chair is a favorite! Cuddle up and watch a movie on the 50" flat screen television with Dish TV or enjoy your favorite bestseller on the sofa with chaise lounge.
Want to create a fantastic brunch for a bunch? You’ll love the fully furnished kitchen that is smartly stocked with everything you need for culinary creations. The entire family can enjoy a meal at the large dining table that seats 8 surrounded by windows with a country view. Later, sneak away to the loft for some quiet time or catch up on some reading.
After a long day of hiking and adventure, unwind in the master suite. You’ll find a comfy king log bed and television for the nights when you want to relax in after taking a long, hot bath in the tub/shower combo.

The third bedroom has a full size bed as well as a twin over twin bunk bed and thoughtful, whimsical touches like a cool cowboy dresser.
Kids and adults will love the fabulous game room featuring a foosball table and bar area.

Hang out on the plush red sofa & read a book, there’s plenty of activities for a rainy day inside. There are also plenty of toys available to keep the little ones occupied.

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 2007. Bison Escape is located just 1 mile down the road & we just purchased this property in 2015 so we can welcome more guest to the beautiful area. Once my husband retires from the US Army in a few 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 Bison Escape we feel you will really enjoy the peace & tranquility of being secluded on 7+ acres. Also, with the ability to enjoy all the amenities at Buffalo Creek Vacations, a 65 acre ranch, just 1 mile down the road, we feel children & adults will all love seeing the bison, llamas, miniature horses & goats.
