Great place to stay

Such a great place to stay with family. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The drive into Yellowstone was easy from the resort only takes about 30 minutes. They even do s’mores for you the first night you get in so the kids will like it there. The loft we had in our cabin was great the kids felt like they had there own hide away. If and when we get back out this way we will be staying here again.

Must stay

If you are in the area, don’t miss this resort! Great place to stay, different cabin styles, so make sure you know what are you booking. Common areas well kept and beautiful. Cabin (Willow) with fully stocked kitchen! Spotless and comfy. Good pizza place on site. Around 40 min drive to west entry of Yellowstone National Park. Sauna and cold plunge included in your stay. If I could give more stars, I would. Highly recommend!

Spruce cabins are excellent at the price for their spaciousness and amenities. Points taken off for poor sound insulation - cabins adjacent to highway gets really loud when trucks pass by, and poor WiFi quality in an area with already poor cellular coverage.

Relaxing, family friendly

Very family friendly, with lots of kids activities. Has large fire-pits with unlimited supply of woods. Onsite electric bike rental was awesome, kids had too much fund roaming around in the electric bike, while adults relaxed near the firepit.

Worth stop by!

When I found so many great reviews, I had to stop by — and I’m glad I did! Blue Buffalo Resort offers a fun s’mores package with sticks included, perfect for enjoying around the bonfire. The cabin-style accommodations are cozy and charming, creating a warm, relaxing atmosphere. The environment is beautiful and welcoming, making it a worthwhile stop. They also host exciting events that make the experience even more memorable.
