This was hands down the best property I have booked in a long time. The cabins at blue buffalo are so stinking cute, clean and comfortable. The park itself is immaculate and the pizzeria was an added bonus. The outdoor yard games were great after a long day in Yellowstone park and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Only negative was lack of breakfast items. I would stay here again without hesitation. 10 out of 10 for sure!

Blue Buffalo Resort is a great place to stay. My room is very clean, with the kitchen and enough room for my family for a vacation to Yellowstone Natonal Park. We really enjoy our stay there. I like how we have our own individual parking spot next to our cabin which makes it convenient to load and unload stuffs from our car. Would highly recommended to anyone.

Resort was great! Quiet, clean, and we loved having a full kitchen area. We used the laundry room and that was very clean and convenient location. We also ordered some cheese bread from the pizzeria, and it was delicious! I would absolutely stay again!

Cabin near Yellowstone.

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was shared and about 200 ft away which was a little inconvenient. The bathrooms were also not well equipped during my stay. Often in need of cleaning and several times out of soap, shampoo and toilet paper. There was an event going on at the same time so may have had a difficult time keeping up with all the people. The restaurant also seemed short staffed. It was over an hour wait for pizza so I ordered a grilled cheese sandwhich which took 40 min and came with bread only on one side (the top) with no bread on the bottom so had to eat it with a fork. It tasted great but was def not a “sandwhich” lol Staff was great! Very friendly and responsive. Helped with advice on fishing and good places to go in the area.
