Relaxing, family friendly

Very family friendly, with lots of kids activities. Has large fire-pits with unlimited supply of woods. Onsite electric bike rental was awesome, kids had too much fund roaming around in the electric bike, while adults relaxed near the firepit.

Great place to stay

Such a great place to stay with family. Staff was very nice and accommodating. The drive into Yellowstone was easy from the resort only takes about 30 minutes. They even do s’mores for you the first night you get in so the kids will like it there. The loft we had in our cabin was great the kids felt like they had there own hide away. If and when we get back out this way we will be staying here again.

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!

Worth stop by!

When I found so many great reviews, I had to stop by — and I’m glad I did! Blue Buffalo Resort offers a fun s’mores package with sticks included, perfect for enjoying around the bonfire. The cabin-style accommodations are cozy and charming, creating a warm, relaxing atmosphere. The environment is beautiful and welcoming, making it a worthwhile stop. They also host exciting events that make the experience even more memorable.

Must stay

If you are in the area, don’t miss this resort! Great place to stay, different cabin styles, so make sure you know what are you booking. Common areas well kept and beautiful. Cabin (Willow) with fully stocked kitchen! Spotless and comfy. Good pizza place on site. Around 40 min drive to west entry of Yellowstone National Park. Sauna and cold plunge included in your stay. If I could give more stars, I would. Highly recommend!

Family trip to Yellowstone

New cabin.Perfect for our family trip to yellowstone. The units were very clean and had all we needed for cooking in cabin, on site laundromat was nice and breakfast included. If we come back to this area it's no doubt our choice to stay at blue buffalo again.

We were staying in Willow Cabin, newly constructed. Some are older, they have several types of cabins, check their website for details. Looked awesome, clean, well maintained inside and out. About an hour drive from West Yellowstone entrance. If you can book it for a reasonable price, it is very good place to stay. The continental breakfast was the only "weakness" if you will. Overall happy with the 2-night stay and would recommend.
