Gem of a place

This was an amazing place to stay for visiting both yellowstone and grand teton. I will definitely be back. Cute and exceptionally clean. When i extended my stay, they made sure I could keep the same cabin so I didn't need to move my stuff.

It was a very clean, and fun place to stay, maybe an extra towel would be good to put on the floor of the shower in front of the toilet as it is in the shower and doesn’t drain completely leaving it damp on the feet the platform in front of the toilet is nice to keep your feet off the floor. Great staff

We stayed here for 3 nights and loved everything about it, zero complaints, cute little cabins with everything in it. Pizza at the restaurant was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean grounds. 35 min away from west entrance to yellowstone NP. Would highly recommned these cabins. We were in cabin 39 which had an upper loft for kids to sleep.

Heat pump outside the bedroom window is terrible placement, very loud off and on all night. The tv service was difficult at best to navigate, we gave up. And why no tissues, had to use toilet paper or paper towels to wipe your nose

Blue Buffalo Resort was amazing! The cabins are beautiful, inside and out. Super clean and has all the amenities you need. We had a booking issue the first night we got there, however the property office was closed for the night. Called them the next morning and the lady was super friendly, got our room upgraded, and they continued to check on us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed to have a great stay! 10/10 would recommend Blue Buffalo Resort to anyone wanting to have a great trip to the Yellowstone/Teton area and will definitely stay again if we decide to come back!

This was a very nice cabin, it was clean, other than the floor. It seemed to be dirty, so a broom is needed in the cabin to try and keep it clean. There are no dressers or places to put any clothes. The sink area is very small with lots of counter space behind the sink. ??? There was no place to set stuff in the toilet/shower area. (Wet bath) The small refrigerator has a very small freezer space and is definitely to small for longer than a days stay. We enjoyed our stay, but would consider the bigger cabin on our next trip. The cabin is about 1/2 hr from the entrance to Yellowstone National Park and West Yellowstone.

Just not up to par!

If you think this is small, I can assure you it’s even smaller! Floor looked clean but I spilled water and when I cleaned it up the rag was black. The shower didn’t drain all the way, and since your toilet is in the shower, your feet get wet every time you go in there. Not an overall good stay!

The two ladies who manage the property came quickly to assist us on how to get the TV working. They are sweet and polite. But the way the cabine was advertised I thought this cabine could accommodate three adults comfortably. The lift though has a VERY short ceiling and adults couldn’t stand up. Actually, most of 10 year-olds couldn’t either. Then we thought “Awww … how cute! This loft was built for toddlers”. But than the stairs are WAY too steep ! Way too dangerous for kids and adults. The steps are narrow and very high. So … two of the adults in our group ended up sleeping in the living room. But all in all it was a good stay. My friends complained that due to no black-out blinders on the windows the cute outside lights bothered them during their sleep. Great service though! And the river RIGHT ACROSS the resort was a treat!

For context, this was a family trip with my wife and two teenaged kids that took us through Montana, Idaho and Yellowstone National Park. This was our first time through these states and in this area. The cabins themselves are absolutely perfect for a family our size. Even though our kids are quite tall, they both loved the upper bunk area to sleep in. Everything was super clean and the cabins had a wonderful eucalyptus smell running through an oil diffuser when we arrived. There was tons of storage space in the kitchen and all dishes/pans/utensils were provided. They even had salt and pepper as well as vegetable oil to use for cooking. The area is beautiful and along the main highway through the area. The cabin we had been allocated was further away from the roadway and we were not impacted by the traffic. On site is a small pizza place that was some of the best pizza we've ever had. It was a great hub for our activities in the area over the three days we stayed and we will certainly be back.

The rooms are like tiny houses very compact, but have a fridge and a microwave. A big shower a very comfy bed high ceilings lots of windows. The bed was very comfortable around our limited but the on-site pizza is excellent. Check and check out or done electronically. there are no keys to lose, which I like lots of plug-ins USB ports The only drawback was someone was smoking weed outside, and it was blowing into my unit, not a fan

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.
