My family of seven thoroughly enjoyed staying in the Willow cabin at blue Buffalo resort. We enjoyed the cozy warm atmosphere. We loved that breakfast was included, but that we were also able to prepare food in our cabin when we needed.

Una experiencia inolvidable, el lugar es espectacular, bastante acogedor y tranquilo suficiente parqueo, las cabañas son hermosas, se agradece el desayuno todo lo necesario y muy sabroso. Nosotros nos quedamos en las cabañas con baño en el exterior, compartido. Recomendaría al Staff mantener los baños limpios ya que al ser de uso común y por bastante gente necesitan de más atención como limpieza y malos olores. Pero en general muy buena experiencia. Gracias.

Good clean place to stay. There was breakfast but it sucked, and was never open on time. Basic cereal and toast. Chances of getting anything hot was about 50% as they were very unprepared. Management isn’t very nice just stuck up, and everything has to go their way. Had a couple problems and dealing with them was terrible.

Cabin was excellent. Beds were sub par. Master bed was memory foam and half the bed was supportive and good. The other side was sunken in and had no support. Felt as if I would fall off the bed. I was unable to sleep on it. Also very little hot water available. We had only 3 people showing and after 15 min the water was Luke warm at best. Cabin set up is great. Space was adequate. Plenty of beds. If it wasn’t for the main queen bed problem and very little hot water the stay would have been 5 stars. Breakfast was great and cabins were cute and fun. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of dinning options close by nor do the have ice machines or pool.
