I love the cabin look, smell, functionality and cleanliness. Able to use the sauna by myself. Didn’t have a chance to use the other activities in the facility such as pickleball, badminton or camp fire. Maybe next time.

Cozy cabin for our Yellowstone vacation. Our Aspen cabin was fine for just my spouse and I. The mattress was memory foam, which we don’t particularly care for but otherwise a great place to sleep and dine

This is a beautiful resort. The cabin we stayed in was cozy and clean. If you stay in one of the pine cabins I would suggest bringing a power strip with as there aren't enough outlets for phone charging, etc.

Wow! what a little jewel a short drive from Yellowstone's west gate. They had fire pits, and horse shoe, as well as several outdoor game areas. Could also rent an UTV, The cabin was nice sized and easy to feel comfortable quickly. The interior was very nice. New favorite stay for Yellowstone

A Hidden Gem

We stayed here for just a couple nights while we were visiting Yellowstone. Such a cute place. Very clean and many activities to enjoy. (Pickleball, corn hole, horse shoes) But our favorite was sitting around the fire pits and getting to see some moose! A mama and her baby that we were told by the owners (who are extremely nice people) visit often in the evenings- a PERFECT ending to our vacation.

I loved staying here! The cabin was clean, cozy and the rocking chair on the porch deck was a great place to relax. Lots of grass for taking my dog out to potty, and for all sorts of games. The staff was awesome in sending some help after hours. The location is great just off of highway 20, however, with all the busy traffic on this highway, there is a bit of noise with the loud vehicles and semi trucks. I highly recommend staying here.

Very cute cabins

Cute cabins that were clean and comfortable. We planned to use the loft area but there wasn’t a true mattress, just fold out single floor mats. After booking, they did warn me that the loft was designed for kids. The other adult was able to use the fold out couch without problems.

Combo shower/toilet was disappointing. Floor was wet all night after our showers. No chairs in the cabin whatsoever. Not enough lighting to read in bed. Cabin was clean. Continental breakfast was substandard. No waffle maker.

Did not like the toilet in the shower. We did know it was like that when we booked . But found out it is not our thing. ?Do not like having the floor wet after taking a shower and then having to use the toilet. Mattress was way to soft for our liking. Will probably not be using this facility again. Also the pizza was nothing like the original owners.

Loved the cabins vibe, it was super clean and kitchen was stocked with everything you can think of to cook. Beds were super comfortable and location was quiet and peaceful. I couldnt get the TV to show anything and kept asking if I wanted to connect to any of my streaming accounts, but that could have been just me not knowing how to put regular channels 😆. Would most definitely stay again!!

Really enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Blue Buffalo resort. The cabin was excellent and the area is cute with the individual cabins so no one right next to you on the other side of the wall like a motel/hotel. Would definitely stay here again
