I loved staying here. It was so compact but had everything we wanted (except for a water cup to brush my teeth with). It was clean tidy and easy. I'd definitely recommend this property again.

We loved everything about the resort. The only issue we had was with the laundry mat. The washers over soaked our clothing and I had to pay twice for the dryers to make sure our clothing would be dry. Our clothing never got fully dry.

Overall a great place to stay. New, clean, lots of thoughtful touches to make it comfortable. We rented both the larger cabin with loft and kitchen, and the smaller with just a queen-sized bed. Loved the larger but I wouldn’t stay in the smaller again because of the shower/toilet setup. Once we showered, we had to wade through a puddle to get to the toilet which was a challenge in the middle of the night.

Great Stay!
Great, clean and comfortable little cabin. The only thing that could be different is the AC (window unit) set up. If you want to use the AC, you can only close the blinds half way. This forces you to fill the gap with anything to keep privacy, since the windows are in view of other units.

This was the nicest place I have ever stayed! The inside of the cabin looked brand new, as if no one had ever set foot in it. The loft was really neat for the kids, they loved it. The couch pulled out into a bed, and the bed in the bedroom was nice and comfy. We loved having a TV in the main room and the bedroom, both with many streaming options. There is a ton of cupboard space in the kitchen, a good size shower, air conditioning, heat and ceiling fans, a large kitchen sink, chairs on the porch, great smelling shampoo and soap, even an essential oil diffuser. Each cabin’s roof is lined with lights, and has pretty flowers out front. Parking is right next to each cabin so loading and unloading is very easy. We only stayed for two nights but would have loved to stay more, and will definitely be coming back!

Loved it!
Loved our stay at the Blue Buffalo! It's a beautiful property in a lovely area 35 minutes from West Yellowstone. We stayed in a cabin with a loft but the kids weren't comfortable up there (it was 90 degrees that week and hot up there, also was a very tight space). We moved the mattresses to the living room and the kids slept there instead which worked out great. We spent one evening watching live music on their rooftop enjoying pizza and drinks from the onsite grill. We wish we had booked a longer stay!
