My boyfriend and I stayed here with our dog for a couple nights, we got a nice dog bed and treats for her upon arrival and the room was lovely. Wood burning fire place and our own parking spot right infront of our door. Beautiful mountain views outside our room and the hot tub was lovely, very clean. Room was clean and very quiet, bed was super comfy. Couldn’t be happier and will be back ! Was a 5 minute drive from down town and shuttle stop was close.

The staff checked in with me 1 hour after I arrived to see how I liked the room. They were very courteous during check-in and check-out as well. The room was super cozy and very clean. One of the best places I have stayed at, overall. Highly recommend.

Disappointed

“My stay at the hotel was okay, but there were a few issues. During check-in, I was initially charged $240 more than my Hotels.com reservation. It took a long time and the involvement of a manager before they finally honored the correct price, which made the experience quite uncomfortable. On a positive note, the hot tub was fantastic, and the room itself was very comfortable. However, the fireplace didn’t function properly, as smoke kept coming back into the room. Additionally, I noticed stains on the comforter and pillow cover, which was disappointing. While there were some highlights, these issues affected my overall experience.”

Relaxing getaway

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Buffalo Mountain Resort, and it was a truly memorable experience. The room was incredibly spacious, with the highlight being the fireplace in the bedroom—it made the space feel extra cozy and inviting. The bathroom was also fantastic, offering plenty of room for both of us to get ready comfortably. The on-site restaurant was a lovely addition, and while the food was good, I felt it could have used a bit more flavor to really stand out. However, the real star of the stay was the breathtaking view—it was absolutely stunning and added so much to the overall experience. I would definitely recommend this resort for a relaxing getaway!
