Loved the cute cabin! Had everything we needed. Loved the assigned parking spot. Breakfast was typical fare, but it was nicely set out and clean. Wish we could have stayed longer because of the nice cabin. Came in fall and was hoping to drive through the island, but couldn’t find an entrance that wasn’t private property. But driving across the dam was pretty as well. Not sure what we could have done if we stayed longer.

My family of seven thoroughly enjoyed staying in the Willow cabin at blue Buffalo resort. We enjoyed the cozy warm atmosphere. We loved that breakfast was included, but that we were also able to prepare food in our cabin when we needed.

Una experiencia inolvidable, el lugar es espectacular, bastante acogedor y tranquilo suficiente parqueo, las cabañas son hermosas, se agradece el desayuno todo lo necesario y muy sabroso. Nosotros nos quedamos en las cabañas con baño en el exterior, compartido. Recomendaría al Staff mantener los baños limpios ya que al ser de uso común y por bastante gente necesitan de más atención como limpieza y malos olores. Pero en general muy buena experiencia. Gracias.
