If you're looking to escape to the mountains, look no further! Wild Ridge Trail is a place where you can come to unwind, relax, and take in the fresh air of our N.C. mountains! We are located only 10/15 minutes from all of the exciting things Asheville has to offer and just as close to the charming small town of Black Mountain!
The cabin at wild ridge is OFF GRID (meaning no power or running water) but I promise, with our solar panels and rain collection system you won't miss being ON the grid at all! The cabin and the drive (or hike) up was designed for the adventurous at heart! So, drive on up if you have 4WD or AWD and if you don't, no worries! Just park in the designated space, grab your gear and hike on up! (The hike in is steep... about 300 ft but takes less than 5 minutes) We have a cooler up there for any perishables you may have, just bring ice :)
Please note: We have to close the outdoor heated shower during the cold winter months, however we provide an all season 5 gallon solar shower bag to use during this time. We also have a list at the cabin of other places nearby that provide hot showers in the winter months for a small fee.
In the rare event that heavy snow is expected, we will have to close the road leading up to the cabin because of its steepness. If this occurs, you will be given a full refund for the cancellation.
To heat the cabin, there is a un-vented wall mounted heater that heats the space really well! Since the cabin is insulated, the heater works quick to heat the small area up so you will stay nice and cozy!

Buffalo Creek Vacations was started after our father, Harold, retired from NY as a UPS driver. He wanted to go somewhere & experience all 4 season! Him & our mom settled in Haywood County, NC & built their own log cabin & started raising bison. Then, myself, 3 siblings & our spouses purchases the 40 acres behind my folks 18 acres when it came up for sale. We decided to build a cabin & then we started rented it out in 2007. Now, we currently have 6 cabins & 2 train cabooses for rent. We love living in God's country & raising the bison along w/ a bunch other farm animals. We love hosting guest on our property & decided after many calls asking if we allow camping, to include a few lucky folks to camp at Buffalo Creek. If you are looking for something other then "car camping" & being "on top of each other" at traditional camp grounds, then give us a call & come check us out. You will be glad you did!

Weekend Trip to The Cabin At Wild Ridge Trail
Our parents stayed at the cabin over a fall weekend in late October and it was perfect! We had a campfire, an outing to Asheville and a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway, and spent a rainy day cozied up in the cabin playing card games and chatting. You are immersed in the trees at the cabin and they have done such a wonderful job of making every part feel well thought out and cared for. The toilet and shower felt cozy, even outside! Deserae responded to all my messages promptly and communicated well! Our parents, visiting from Ireland, said it was one of our best vacation spots and they had such a refreshing time.

The property was quiet and well maintained. If you want to unplug for a few days then this is definitely the place. Convenient to Maggie Valley, Waynesville and the Blue Rodge Parkway. I really enjoyed our stay!
The only improvements I would suggest would be adding Plexiglass to close the glamping trailer in for the colder months so it could potentially be heated by a small electric heater or screening to keep the mosquitoes out during the summer.
Our trip was the first freeze of the fall and the trailer got very cold!
Luckily we had great sub zero sleeping bags and even a small electric blanket which helped tremendously. The moisture blowing in off the pond is really what made it a little uncomfortable.
I have camped with my horses in very similar set ups for years and found these things to be super helpful. This glamping set up has electricity which could make it a little more comfortable for folks who aren't used to the elements.
Great place and great hosts! Will definitely stay again.

3 nights at The Cabin At Wild Ridge Trail
This was such a cool cabin. Waking up to the trees right outside the big garage door was amazing. The swing was such a highlight! We had a perfect vacation here.
Warning though, pack light unless you have a 4w drive vehicle that can make it up the trail (we didn't). The hike up to the cabin is a strenuous if you have a lot of things to carry.

What a unique stay!! John has created an awesome place to stay. The touches he has furnished a horse trailer with made me smile! If you needed it, it was there! He was responsive to all my messages and we'd stay again if we're in the area. Be advised you may need an extra blanket on cold nights! (Altho if I had looked it was probably there!)

This glamping spot is awesome!!! John & Brandi are incredible hosts. I really needed a couple of nights in cool, fresh mountain air. The beds are super comfortable and the port- a-potty was spotless ( and odor free) !Excellent location. Jump at the chance to book.

Coming from our home and the home of Studio Blynne ceramic studio in Woodfin, we had an amazing day at the Ten Acre Garden in Canton, teaching a workshop, and got to just keep driving! Landing at the Red Roof on Appalachian Pond Campground was everything we needed!!! We got to just flop in and have a place set up and ready that still kind of felt like camping for the kiddos, one of which was celebrating his second birthday!!! It rained hard. Due to the great setup and attention to tarping etc, we had light and dry area and got to make s’mores on the provided camping burners. Our 4yo LOVED the loft bed and us parents very much appreciated the coffee maker and everything we needed to make that first thing in the morning! We got to see bullfrogs, explore the creek and campsites, have a few great meals among a fantastic selection considering proximity to both Maggie Valley AND Waynesville, and we can’t wait to come back soon!!!!

Weekend Trip to Appalachian Pond Campground
The accommodation was great! I loved the multiple options of cooking tools and cleanliness of the trailer. You are pretty close to other campsites, one across the street and the porta potty for both sites are directly next to the trailer. It was super pretty on the pond and there was some traffic of people fishing in the pond and it was sweet. Not all of the windows are closed off in the trailer but this helps with airflow and we didn’t not encounter many bugs or mosquitos. The space itself was very well thought out and very organized. The hosts were extremely responsive and were there if we needed anything. The shower was INCREDIBLE! The water pressure and privacy was greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here.
