We reached late at night and the beds in the loft were not done. As I called the front desk, the lady told me the housekeeper was supposed to do it but must have forgotten! We had to do our own beds when we were extremity tired. As I complained to the manager, she told that housekeeping is not supposed to do that! I was also denied regular house keeping service. The excuse was that they are very busy! As I asked for compensation for all these sufferings, the GM summarily declined it with a dry apology. Horrible experience.

Blue Buffalo in Island Park, (Yellowstone NP)

The room was exactly as described. Staff were friendly and communicative. Everything was clean. This was a great place to relax after spending a long day in Yellowstone National Park.

Overall the stay was awesome. We were 5 people in total and was able to cook each meal and manage throughout the day focusing on exploring . Yellowstone was Just 1 hour drive from the resort and would highly recommend renting the bikes and exploring Harriman state park bike trails. Only on thing i was expecting was a mirror. For some reason we don’t have any mirrors in the property except the one that’s in the rest room.

Quaint, clean cabin that made it feel more like staying at a home rather than a resort hotel. The pizzeria on property was nice with a pretty good selection between pizzas and sandwiches. Only down side to my stay was that I couldn't enjoy the fire pits due to local burn bans in effect, but that wasn't a negative on the resort. One area of opportunity is the continental breakfast. It had no real protein option except a yogurt cup, no meats or egg. Overall a great place to stay if you don't want to dine out every day/night, and to have more than just a bed and a bathroom. If you book the bigger cabin like the Spruce.

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!

great place, great people. My only 1/2 point reduced would be too much light too late. Like lights were on until 1 am. Either turn them off earlier or add blackout curtains. The service was fantastic, and cannot say better for the little pizzeria. Amazingly good!
