Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. It was lovely to have access to the fireplace to make s'mores - it really adds to the ambiance of the suite. Having a kitchen helped us save hundreds of dollars on dining out. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. Staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Such a perfect place for us! Our suite had everything we needed. We enjoyed having the kitchenette so we could eat our breakfasts early before starting our day. We loved getting exercise walking into town. Our dips in the hot tub most evenings were a great day to unwind. Wonderful staff!

We love Buffalo Mountain Lodge but the biggest perk is the charm of the vaulted ceiling premier rooms. Upon arrival, we were told we got a "free upgrade" to a premium plus room. This ended up being on the ground level and did not have any of the charm or appeal of the room we booked. I called to ask to switch back since this did not match our booking and they were unable to meet our request. Very disappointing.

Our stay at Buffalo Mountain Lodge was beyond excellent. The view was great, the service was better, and the room we stayed at was just the best. We stayed in the 2-Queen Premiere and it had easy access to nature just by the back door. It was clean and everything was easy to use. We ran some problems with the billing at check out because of the bank but the staff was very understanding, friendly, and accommodating to our needs and necessities. Completely professional and respectful throughout the whole ordeal. If I have a recommendation tho, it would be that I would appreciate better allocation of parking spots for guests. However, it was understandable because we stayed at a high demand time over a long weekend. Overall, I would certainly stay here again and bring my friends and family over.
