The room was very spacious and clean. Love the fireplace in the sitting area. It’s a fantastic location as it’s very close to town and more of a mountainous feel. The staff were very pleasant and wanting to make sure your stay was what you hoped it would be. Highly recommend!

The room was very clean, big, and spacious. We got a free upgrade, which is really nice. We had a sitting area, a kitchen table, multiple TVs, wood-burning fireplace that was fully functional, full cutlery, and more. It was a great stay, the beds were soft, the sheets were clean, everything was really good. The location was really good as well.

Buffalo Mountain Lodge is an absolute hidden gem nestled in the Rocky Mountains. The staff at the front desk were most pleasant &accommodating to our check in needs. The Prow restaurant has a cozy ambience and serves excellent food for dining and breakfast. The room was upgraded with a roaring wood fireplace, and warm spacious interior with claw tub &shower. All enjoyed after a soothing larger hot tub with powerful jets by the outdoor fire pit just a few min. walk from the room. Thank you again for another lovely quick birthday getaway out of the City.

Disliked: Cleanliness
I had booked Buffalo Mountain Lodge based on the stellar ratings. However, my stay was anything but stellar. Let me start with the MAIN problems: 1. The place lacks basic stuff like a nail cutter. 2. For almost all the requests - the first answer was a big ‘NO’. 3. The place is poorly lit and one has to depend upon the torch in their phone to get around. 4. The food is highly overpriced. The portions are tiny and the taste is average. I would recommend the guests to eat outside. 5. If you are on the ground floor, be prepared to forgo your sleep because the wooden floors are rickety and it becomes noisy when climb. 6. If you order room service, the food will come without a plate. I would rather recommend living at a place that is more welcoming.
