Great cabins 1/2 hour outside West Yellowstone
The Blue Buffalo Resort is wonderful… we’ll be coming back for sure! We stayed in a Willow Cabin and were completely charmed. What a sweet place! Chandler at the front desk was super helpful, too, and we really appreciated the hot coffee & continental breakfast in the morning. You have new fans!

Supe nice!
Text communication was super clear for anytime check in and unit entry. Aspen Cabin was next to perfect. Not much table space, maybe install a couple of TV trays? Facilities clean, friendly staff, basic breakfast, pizza place on site, and free bear spray loan during the stay!

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.

Excellent place to stay if you want to go to Yellowstone and don't mind driving an extra 30 minutes. Clean place with comfortable beds and all you need for a few nights' stay. My new favorite place in that area!

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.

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.
