Good clean place to stay. There was breakfast but it sucked, and was never open on time. Basic cereal and toast. Chances of getting anything hot was about 50% as they were very unprepared. Management isn’t very nice just stuck up, and everything has to go their way. Had a couple problems and dealing with them was terrible.

Great cosy cabin room! Parking was sufficient and available in front of the cabin. The room had all basic amenities including a fridge and a microwave. Breakfast had good options and it was great! Overall a great place to stay if you are visiting Yellowstone!

Cabin was excellent. Beds were sub par. Master bed was memory foam and half the bed was supportive and good. The other side was sunken in and had no support. Felt as if I would fall off the bed. I was unable to sleep on it. Also very little hot water available. We had only 3 people showing and after 15 min the water was Luke warm at best. Cabin set up is great. Space was adequate. Plenty of beds. If it wasn’t for the main queen bed problem and very little hot water the stay would have been 5 stars. Breakfast was great and cabins were cute and fun. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of dinning options close by nor do the have ice machines or pool.

Best place for your bucks.

I loved this little one bedroom cabin. I wanted to hitch it up to my tow bar and take it home with me. What a wonderful resort. I’d been on the road for almost 2 weeks and found this place. I was playing in Yellowstone, West entrance, and just by chance found this place looking online… It’s clean, comfortable, there are laundry facilities, the free breakfast was very good. The staff was so friendly. Thank you, Dylan! If I’m ever in the area again, no doubt I would stay here again and again and again. Excellent place.

Overall I really liked it. The room and property were clean and maintained, parking was also easy. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review is the room smelled like cigarettes. Not all of them smelled this way, but our cabin smelled terrible.

Very impressed with the Aspen cabins. The European shower/toilet was different but funny. All of the staff were so friendly and the restaurants in Island Park were great! Would go back in the future and bring family. Thank you Blue Buffalo 💙

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.
