Our farm has been in the family for over 50 years. My Cherokee grandmother purchased the farm with the intention of giving each of her children property. We have been raising bison here since 2008. We chose the name Cherokee Valley to honor my heritage and the gift of this farm by my grandmother and mother. We created this tipi experience to share that gift with you! Enjoy a night in our spacious 22 foot tipi. We provide a comfortable queen platform bed for your convenience. You must provide sleeping bags, linens , blankets etc. The tipi can sleep up to 6 people, 2 on the queen bed we provide, with ample room for additional cots or air mattresses that you provide. We have cots available to rent as an add on. . You may also pitch additional tents or hang hammocks in the trees with room for up to 10 people in all. Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch is a working bison farm with bison, honeybees, chickens and peafowl. We are a certified Wildlife Habitat and Monarch Way Station. Enjoy our beautiful hiking trails through the rolling hills of our ranch. We have a plethora of bird species, butterflies and wildflowers to delight nature lovers. After hiking the trails you can splash around in the pristine creek that borders our property (we recommend water shoes). Take in a gorgeous sunset over our farm, enjoy a wood fired dinner cooked over the provided fire pit with grill. The sounds of hoot owls will lull you to sleep and when you wake, enjoy the stained glass glow through the beautiful tipi. We are close to several wineries, breweries and recreational areas (kayaking, canoeing, golfing, biking) as well as Legend Valley concert venue. We are a short drive to Buckeye Lake, Dillion Dam, and Hocking Hills. We have a selection of grass fed bison available in our on-site farm store.

White Tail Tipi

White Tail Tipi Stay

Definitely recommend staying on Carie's land for a quiet, relaxing weekend. It rained most of our trip so we were very thankful to have the tipi for shelter. We loved having a view of the bison right from our campsite. Even grabbed some frozen bison meat from the store on the way out, delicious. Carie is what you hope you get from a host when renting somewhere to stay. She was very welcoming and was a message away if we needed her. Can't say enough nice things. Overall a very relaxing, secluded, unique stay that we would book again if we are staying in the area.

We loved the Tipi, the bisons, the walks…the creek! Carie was very kind, the place is very clean and the bed is comfortable. I highly recommend this experience.

White Tail Tipi

Family getaway

We visited Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch for a one night getaway, and it was an unforgettable experience! Carie, the host was friendly and knowledgeable.. The Bison are well cared for and seeing them roam freely on the private land was truly awe-inspiring. The peaceful, natural surroundings make it a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Staying in the teepee added a whole new level of adventure to the trip. The kids haven’t stopped talking about it! We all enjoyed exploring the creek and land. Highly recommend this hidden gem!"

White Tail Tipi

Took the grandkids to Carie’s Tipi and we had an absolute blast! The bison were so close but safe behind an electric fence, the kids cooled off in the creek, and plenty of space to explore. My favorite is how bright the stars are there. Beautiful place with a wonderful host, highly recommend!!
