The bison were awesome!

We had a great time while we were there! The bison walked by each day so there were plenty of chances to see them. Most of the time, they just hung out in the area while migrating between fields. The cabin had a great mountain feel to it, would definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Cheryl Hillis

My brothers & my husband had shared a vision of expanding my fathers buffalo ranch when additional property became available to purchase. With all our knowledge & experiences combine we have built 4 log homes, 2 train cabooses & renovated 2 more cabins, & have been renting them out starting in 2004. Once my husband retires from the US Army in about 1 yr our dream will be to build our log cabin on the property & be more hands on. God has blessed us beyond our wildest dreams. We hope you love the mountains like we have all come to love being transplants from a very flat NY!

Why they chose this property

This property was originally built for our grandfather when our folks bought the property. After losing "Poppy" to a battle w/ Alzheimer's, we rented it long term for @ 20 years. The time was now to turn into a vacation rental to go along w/ our other vacation rental properties. We did not have a cabin for small families, which is why we decided to make this one a 2 bedroom. The view from this cabin is incredible & it's the only cabin you can see the bison herd from while on the porch!

What makes this property unique

While staying at Red Dog Barn we feel you will really enjoy the peace & tranquility of being secluded on 65 acres. So many of our previous guest have wrote back & told us they had all these plans to sight see but then just loved hanging out in the cabin together enjoying the game room & the children all love the uniquely designed playground as well as seeing the miniature horse, buffalo, goats & llamas!
