Looking to get away to the mountains with your family? Tatonka Lodge is the perfect choice for large families, or groups, traveling together!
Our custom log home 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! The cabin is over 3500 square feet, plenty of room for everyone to spread out. 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!
Tatonka Lodge, (Indian word for buffalo), is ideal for large families vacationing together because we have 2 master suites which each have private doors leading to the back deck with a fantastic mountain view.
Once inside, you will be in awe of the huge stone fireplace in the great room, surrounded by plenty of seating area for a large group. Also, rest assured the children will be well entertained downstairs in the game room where we have a life size chess set, pool table, air hockey, ping pong & foosball. Also enjoy an evening in our 8 person hot tub out back!
Children will love the hike through the woods to the brand new 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.

Summary: This property was perfect for our group of eight—including our furry friends! Cheryl was fantastic to communicate with, and when we encountered a minor issue, she promptly sent someone to assist. The house had everything we needed and more, from the game room to the hot tub. We loved walking our dogs around the property and had so much fun seeing the goats, llamas, alpacas, and bison! I highly recommend this property, as well as any of Cheryl's other rentals. Buffalo Creek Vacations is truly amazing—we'll definitely be back!

Summary: Tatonka Lodge is a beautifully constructed, large cabin that offers a comfortable stay for families and groups. During our visit, we found that everything in the cabin worked well, and the kitchen was fully equipped with all the necessary amenities. However, we did notice that the refrigerator shelves were damaged and looked like they might break, but fortunately, we didn't experience any issues during our stay. Travelers should know that the access road is very steep and has potholes. This is a potential problem for standard cars. We also used bottled water during our stay as the water wasn't palatable for the members of our group. One aspect that didn't quite meet our expectations was the playground. The description of the playground was a bit misleading, as it turned out to be a tired structure with several broken swings. This made it challenging for my toddlers to safely use the slide. However, they had a fantastic time playing on the zip line. The standout feature of Tatonka Lodge is its access to the Pigeon River. During the hot afternoons, we spent countless hours playing and cooling off in the river, which was a delightful and refreshing experience for the entire family. Tatonka Lodge is a spacious and well-equipped cabin that offers a comfortable stay for those looking to enjoy the outdoors. While the playground may need some attention, the river access more than makes up for it, providing a wonderful opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones.

Summary: The owners were great. (Ran out of review space) I've used VRBO for a Western NC Mountain Cabin probably 8 times over the last several years. Whenever you book online, there will always be surprises. Good ones and not so good ones. The good: Beautiful cabin, plenty of room, AC/Heat worked well. The property is very nice. The not-so-good: WiFi is essentially unusable. Had to use my ATT Cell HotSpot the entire time. For such a huge fireplace, the TV is tiny and very outdated. All of the kitchen appliances are on their last leg. Functional, but seemingly old. My "biggest" not-so-good? The view from the back deck? There isn't any. It's covered in trees. This may have been my fault for not noticing, but I go to the mountains for the long-range mountain views. You are staring at huge trees surrounding the back deck. This is the first time I've rented a house that didn't provide some firewood (need to buy it) and that didn't have a propane grill on the deck. The only "grill" is a considerable distance away from the deck, and it's one of those charcoal units you see in public parks. Didn't use it. I know you are "in the mountains" but the road to the cabin is pretty brutal. I have a 4WD, so not hard getting up the incline, but the huge potholes made it very uncomfortable and likely not great for your truck/car. Having to dispose of your own garbage is a bit of a hassle, but not a deal-breaker. Privacy - there are several cabins around you.

Summary: Such a great location. We had a large group of family and had lots of room along with lots to keep us busy. Game room in the cabin with pool, Foss ball and even air hockey. Kitchen was good size for cooking up some big meals and the heated floor in the 2 master bedrooms were a big hit. The ranch had bison, lamas and even got to hold a baby goat. Staff was super friendly and really couldn't ask for more.

Summary: Heed the driveway warnings. The driveway is very steep but negotiable with a FWD SUV and car during summer months. We did spin tires a little to activate traction control. Property is very nice with plenty of room for all 10 of us to spread out. Loft was quite hot when we got there but cooled down by the next day. Covered parking area was nice for setting up outdoor games and hanging out. Location is not near anything but that's what we were looking for. However, it was a short drive to town and activities. There is a neat produce stand on 209 before turning towards Buffalo Creek. Check them out, wish we had seen it sooner. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Summary: After camping for 3 days this was a perfect place to end the vacation. The drive to the cabin is steep so ensure your car has good tires. It was a short drive to Asheville, whitewater rafting, and downtown Waynesville was nice as well. Not to mention seeing the bison every morning was a great way to start the day!

Summary: Tatonka lodge was a great place to stay with our family. The house is large, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of activities and outdoor space. Our kids had a great time visiting the animals, hiking to the playground, and seeing the model trains!

Summary: The listing was incredibly accurate and the cabin is well positioned on the property and laid out for a group of 8 adults. We loved the views...the decor...the evening sun on the expansive deck...and of course the hot tub. The animals on property add to the charm. And the location/ease to drive to the hiking trails, nearby lake and other points of interest was quite reasonable. The one glaring issue that can be easily remedied is the WiFi. We had checked with Cheryl if it would be capable for video conferencing and work remote/ZOOM lifestyle as we were renting the cabin for a week. She assured us it would be. Perhaps if only one person at a time needs the WiFi...for one-way video, such as streaming. Unfortunately it was not capable to handle reliably telework demands (several of us avoided the wifi due to a strong enough cell signal or own hot-spot). Ultimately after 48hrs we secured a hotel room nearby for those who had work requirements to have reliable service. The expectations would be if marketing for up to 14 people, the wifi should be able to handle at least half that demands. A simple upgrade for sure, but something other renters should be aware of in this new day of work-from-anywhere. If want to truly unplug or a traditional vacation, this cabin works perfectly.
