It was a very clean, and fun place to stay, maybe an extra towel would be good to put on the floor of the shower in front of the toilet as it is in the shower and doesn’t drain completely leaving it damp on the feet the platform in front of the toilet is nice to keep your feet off the floor. Great staff

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved everything about it, zero complaints, cute little cabins with everything in it. Pizza at the restaurant was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean grounds. 35 min away from west entrance to yellowstone NP. Would highly recommned these cabins. We were in cabin 39 which had an upper loft for kids to sleep.

Heat pump outside the bedroom window is terrible placement, very loud off and on all night. The tv service was difficult at best to navigate, we gave up. And why no tissues, had to use toilet paper or paper towels to wipe your nose

Blue Buffalo Resort was amazing! The cabins are beautiful, inside and out. Super clean and has all the amenities you need. We had a booking issue the first night we got there, however the property office was closed for the night. Called them the next morning and the lady was super friendly, got our room upgraded, and they continued to check on us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay! 10/10 would recommend Blue Buffalo Resort to anyone wanting to have a great trip to the Yellowstone/Teton area and will definitely stay again if we decide to come back!

This was a very nice cabin, it was clean, other than the floor. It seemed to be dirty, so a broom is needed in the cabin to try and keep it clean. There are no dressers or places to put any clothes. The sink area is very small with lots of counter space behind the sink. ??? There was no place to set stuff in the toilet/shower area. (Wet bath) The small refrigerator has a very small freezer space and is definitely to small for longer than a days stay. We enjoyed our stay, but would consider the bigger cabin on our next trip. The cabin is about 1/2 hr from the entrance to Yellowstone National Park and West Yellowstone.

The communication from staff, ease of check in, the surprise at how awesome the lodge was it all well exceeded our expectations! This was by far the best stop we’ve had throughout our 2 week roadtrip. We definitely will keep this place on our list when we come back to Yellowstone!

Just not up to par!
If you think this is small, I can assure you it’s even smaller! Floor looked clean but I spilled water and when I cleaned it up the rag was black. The shower didn’t drain all the way, and since your toilet is in the shower, your feet get wet every time you go in there. Not an overall good stay!
