Whether you are looking for an exciting family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a perfect gathering place for a large group, Buffalo Creek Vacations has something for everyone. The accommodations are stellar, but the setting is what draws people from across the country to this bucolic destination.

Located in Clyde, NC, Buffalo Creek Vacations comprises a 72-acre ranch with buffalo, goats, llamas, and some serious reconnecting with animals and nature. Every Monday through Saturday, guests are invited to the Bison Viewing Platform for the morning feeding. For many, these animals remind us of the vast, open plains of the Midwest, but here you can see these majestic animals up close and personal.

Next, feed the goats, visit the llamas, and join Dennis the Donkey Whisperer inside the donkey enclosure to feed, pet, and brush the mini donkeys. Kids (65 pounds or less) can also ride on the ranch’s mini horses after they are fed at about 10:45 am!

Families with younger children will also enjoy spending time at the Buffalo Creek (BC) Corral Playground. This is not your ordinary neighborhood park. With a rock wall, zip line, monkey bars, slide, and a horseshoe pit, your kids will expend a lot of energy making sure they don’t miss a thing.

The entire family also will be engaged with the onsite BC Depot Agapeland Station model train layout. In partnership with Smoky Mountain Model Railroaders, this 30 x 50 model train exhibition mimics the Great Smoky Mountains’ lush forests, mountains, streams, and farmland. They even include a miniature Buffalo Creek Vacations display.
