Clyde, North Carolina
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.
We are pet friendly, size doesn't matter!

The cabin and property was great!! Minor issues not worth presenting, overall we would definitely do this again......and plan too!!
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.
Great cabin! We truly enjoyed our Holiday weekend in NC. Plan to come back again in the future.
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.
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!
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!
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.
This cabin was the perfect place for a family Thanksgiving! We so enjoyed the house, the property, the animals, AND the buffalo! What a treat! The playground was fun for the kids and they loved seeing all the animals. Thank you so much for sharing your place!
We had a great experience; beautiful home; it was obvious a lot of love was put into this property!
Enjoyed the property. Loved the house and the view. Mattresses were hard. Road was a little intimidating, but we are from the area and can drive on steep roads. We were there for a wedding in Canton. Worked great for us. Great grandson loved all the animals and playground.
