We loved our stay at the Blue Buffalo Resort! Its was out of town making it quiet and the view was wonderful. The cabin we got didnt have plumbing but the walk to the bathroom was short and well lit! The pizzaria there was delicious as well! The only hickup was there wasnt much space to put your cloths in the shower for shorter guests.

This place was amazing. The facilities are as advertised and the host in the office is very knowledgeable about the area and super friendly. We didn’t have a single issue with our stay. They even gave us smores for the fire pit.

The cabins are so cute and brand new. All cooking utensils included in their kitchenette. It’s roughly 1.5 hours from the resort to West Yellowstone which isn’t bad at all. The resort is surrounded by the prettiest meadows, a small creek, and you get wildlife visitors in the evening like deer

All the amenities in one tiny space!

All the amenities in one tiny space. Off season was not such a bonus with the pizzeria closed for the season. The cabin floor cracked and groaned a bit, and we’re not heavy people! It was clean, but a bit tight for our tastes. It was available and less expensive than most of the other options in town.

Perfect little cabin for a Yellowstone trip. Unlike many of the older properties around the park, this had the cabin feel. No shared walls, rocking chairs on the porch and was quiet. I loved the kitchen. Eating pan fried steak on the porch while hearing the wildlife, amazing. Chandler checked us in. He is very friendly and gave excellent tips for the area. I will stay here again

This was a last minute stay to visit yellowstone after our RV broke down. Being about 30 min from yellowstone the price was much better, and it was adorable. They were like tiny houses but the woodsy version. I like that it had a full kitchen with large fridge. The layout and grounds were very engaging with games, a big fire pit area, porches twinkle lights. Our front porch had chairs, table annd a citronella candle and lighter. They thought of everything. Very nice place.

The stay was great overall and we'll stay there again. There are a couple things visitors should be aware of. First, the bed is an RV queen size. It's not 80" long. If you're tall, like me, your feet will hang off the end. Also the dining area size has not kept pace with their growth over the years and you may very well have a hard time finding a seat. We did two out of three days. All that being said, we will stay there again and I highly recommend it.

When we arrived i was unaware we did not have a bathroom in our room. We had to walk up the hill. For me and my husband that would of been fine but not with a special needs child. I would of never of booked it if it was clear. We had to leave and did not stay. I have requested a refund but have not heard a word

This place was remarkably clean the market but convenient probably one of the best cabins I’ve stayed in. Breakfast might need a little work, but overall not too bad.
