My friend and I stopped by a few weeks ago and took a quick tour. I almost cried remembering how much fun we used to have when we went to my grandparents farm when I was a kid. I can't wait to take my kids there for a weekend!!!
Lisa & Darron, We would love to host your wedding! We do not have package prices as we customize each wedding to taste and budget. We have had weddings range from $400 to $10,000. Please call us for a quote. 877-527-4207
I saw that Oklahoma Licing Magazine readers selected your ranch as the top outdoor wedding venue in Oklahoma but I don't see any prices on your website. What would a wedding for 150 cost?
Staying at the Buffalo Creek Ranch was a wonderful experience and will undoubtably provide lasting memories!
We attended a wedding there last fall. Was not expecting much but was extremely surprised! Our 25th anniversary is coming up and we had planned on Vegas. But we have decided that Buffalo Creek is where we're going to spend this special occasion! Can't wait!!!
Great place. Enjoyed the fishing. The food was great. Very relaxing. Wonderful vacation making new friends.
Best B&B we've been to
This was a dream of a honeymoon we'll always remember! The food was to die for, so very delicious! The ranch is so beautiful and unique!
Best moment of our lives! Couldn't have picked a more perfect place to wed. Thanks you for an amazing time & we will be back!
We attended a wedding at the Ranch and it was gorgeous! The food was amazing and so were the accomodations! We had a lovely time!!!
What a pleasant surprise! We honestly didn't know what was in store for us this weekend but we were greeted & treated like family! We enjoyed our rides through the country & the fishing but the hospitality topped it all! Thanks so much for the new friendships. The food was delish but I think the bisquits were my fav!
Tout était fantastique!
The food was delicious in a authentic cajun style shrimp boil with shrimp raised in a pond on the property of Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch. Dave and Darleen were warm and friendly as always. Plenty of entertainment was provide from all day activities such as horse shoes and obstacle course to night time entertainment of live red dirt music with Robby VanVekoven. All in all despite the rain it was a good time and a great way to spend our date night!
9/29/12 I had the pleasure of visting the Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch yesterday for their first annual Shrimpfest. I can’t say enough about how wonderful, warm and friendly Dave and his wife Darlene were to all their guests that attended. It was such a privledge to spend all day with the Shaw family and so many of their friends. I will forever concider the Shaw family my friends. The lodge, ficilities and all the aminities at the ranch are outstanding, so beautiful. This is a great place for a vacation, for the weekend or just an overnight stay. Anyone looking for a place to relax and enjoy the great outdoors should not hesitate to make their reservations at the Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch. Janice Searle Roland, OK
We enjoyed every moment of our visit!
Wow! What a wonderful time we had visiting you guys. We loved riding horses, fishing and swimming. Thanks for everything!!

I just recently stayed at The Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch. I had never stayed at Guest Ranch before so I wasn't sure what to expect. I want to thank Dave and Darlene for an exceptional weekend. The king suite was plush and the food was great. The salt water pool was not too cold and the horse back riding was awesome. They even let us ride around on the ranch on an All Terrain Vehicle! Just the peaceful serenity of this place makes it a winner, but the hosts and the accomodations make it a cut above all the rest. I will revisit the ranch and take as many family members that I can. The only word to describe this ranch and it's owners is AWESOME!
My wife and I recently stayed at this Guest Ranch. We had a fabulous time! This is first class accomodations!! Bedrooms were beautiful and the king bed was so comfortable. Dave and Darlene Shaw went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable, happy and well fed!! It is very peaceful and the scenery is gorgeous. We definately will be back. Highly recommend this! Wish I could post the photos I took!
We spent last weekend at the Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch and I must say it is now one of my favorite places to be! Beautiful scenery and friendly folks. The rooms were gorgeous. The tour of the ranch was amazing. If you want a peaceful and serene place to get away….. Head to Buffalo Valley, Oklahoma!
The Oklahoma Today team so enjoyed getting to see your beautiful ranch. What a fantastic place! On a personal note, I can't wait to get my family down there for some rest and relaxation. I know they will love it! Looking forward to it, SOON!

We are having an amazing time at the Guest Ranch. What a beautiful home and ranch!! The views and sunsets are extraordinary and I can't wait to make my photo album with all the pictures I took. The food was fabulous! The bed was super comfortable with the most luscious sheets EVER!! You can't get this kind of hospitality anywhere! I highly recommend this experience to everyone.
Thoroughly enjoyed my week at your lovely home. You made me feel like one of the family. The company, comfy bed and the food were the greatest! And thanks for keeping me sane as my son attended his first camp experience at the nearby Boy Scout facility.
The place is amazing, the crafstmanship both inside and out is immaculate, their hospitality is second to none, the food is incredible. You will not find a better getaway in this part of the country, so why even try? Definately a place to add to your bucket list, or any list for that matter. Top of the line!!
The fireworks show last night was great. The ranch is first class.
Amazing food, beautiful scenery, & great hosts!
Thank you for letting us invade the Ranch for Prom!!!
Thank you so much for rolling out the ORANGE carpet for our tour last week. The participants really enjoyed hearing about agritourism! And I am shocked at the amount of fun they had on the bridge...we acted like kids! I am going to come back and visit you again as a guest in the near future!!!
The Shaw's are wonderful hosts and the property is simply relaxing and beautiful. The food was YUM.
Such a beautiful & fun place you have going there! All of us really enjoyed ourselves and it was a geniune respite for us. I will definitely be recommmending everyone to go to your establishment for all their special occasions! Thanks again for your hospitality! And I might even sneak up there during football season! Love the media room!!
Dave, Thanks for opening up your beautiful Bed and Breakfast to today's poker run...... loved being able to tour your beautiful facility! Also loved running into alot of old friends while there.... I think Buffalo Valley houses some of the best people in the world!
Dave, I just wanted to thank you again for accommodating us for the horseback ride last week. It was wonderful and we all had a great time. We will definitely be back for a visit. The grandmas have been telling EVERYONE about their RTV adventure, and Sarah wants to ride Sugar next time.
Thanks for everything. We really enjoyed ourselves. The kids especially enjoyed the tractor driving lessons! Hope to come back soon...
My children and I absolutely loved the ranch. Dave and Darleen are the sweetest people we have met in a long time! They made us feel right at home. We can't wait for the next visit!
Thanks Dave and Darleen!! My wedding and the whole weekend was amazing!! Your place is beautiful and the food delicious!! Thank you so much!
Amazing place to experience a good time! Great hospitality, food is top notch, theatre room is perfect for catching a football game or movie. Definitely a must see!!
If you are looking for a peaceful romantic weekend getaway Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch is the perfect location. It is beautifully decorated and has many things to offer. Dave and Darleen have built a wonderful lodge and they make you feel like family right from the start. Their hospitality is second to none. I look forward to many returns.
Awesome place!!! This place is beautiful, the hospitality was like family, the food was 5 star! The entertainment room was my favorite!!! Perfect for catching the game!!!
I had a chance to stay there and I absolutely loved it. The facility was a perfect blend of rustic and modern. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the location was perfect. The meals were fantastic as well. There was somuch to do! I recommend this place for anyone looking for an affordable yet LUXORY feeling vacation!
What a wonderful place Dave and Dar have built! Something about building such an impressive guest ranch with thier own hands lends a person to enjoy thier experance just that much more! Durring my stay I met some friends from Tulsa and all of us had a blast! What a wonderful time can't wait to go back!
My family and friends were invited to Buffalo Creek Ranch for dinner. It was absolutely one of the best dinning experiences that I have had. The ambiance was perfect. We sat in front of the fireplace and visited while Darlene quietly moved about the kitchen. Mr. Shaw gave us a tour of the facilities as we walked along we visited with the farm animals and observed future projects of the Buffalo Creek Ranch. What a wonderful place to stay for an evening, a weekend or a week for that fact. When we returned Darlene had prepared delicious finger food and appetizers. The dinning table was decorated beautifully. Our food was delicious. Steaks were prepared to perfection. I would recommend this to anybody for a get away or a night out for wonderful food and fellowship. That special night out. The story telling, laughter was great medicine for all of us. The only thing that could have made our visit better was if Darlene and Dave could have joined us for dinner.
I stayed at the Guest Ranch because I had to be in the area for business. Mr. Shaw met me at my vehicle to help me carry in my things. He gave a tour of the house then he and his wife welcomed all my questions about the area. They were very knowledgeable and helpful.
A special thanks to the editors at Bridal Belles Magazine for selecting us as one of the top four wedding destinations in SE Oklahoma!
Stunning and spectacular! A perfect getaway from the sometimes hectic city life. The serene setting takes your stress completely away. It's absolutely perfect!!
This is a beautiful place, but comfortable and inviting as well. The food was incredible and the Shaw family were the best hosts one could ask for! I look forward to our next visit.

This is the most beautiful place I've ever visited. It is gorgeous here. Amazing services, food & a very friendly atmosphere.

Our wedding guest were astonished by the great view & everything Buffalo Creek Guest Ranch had to offer. Highly recommend that everyone check this place out!
