Summary:

Welcome to Timber Hollow, your private retreat designed for comfort, fun, and unforgettable memories. Nestled in a peaceful setting, this spacious vacation rental is perfect for families and groups looking to relax and reconnect. Timber Hollow features two master bedrooms with king beds, offering a restful escape after a day of adventure. The additional two bunkbed rooms make this home ideal for kids or extra guests, giving everyone their own space to unwind.



The Space:

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Great Time

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!

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!

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. ;))

Amazing stay at Timber Hollow, Buffalo Creek!

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.
