We loved this place. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The fireplace was a great asset! It is a little bit out of town, but an easy walk, 2 min drive or roam bus. It’s nicer to be out of the hustle and bustle. Restaurant on premises is the best in town

We loved our stay here! The room was clean, cozy, quiet and had a spacious bathroom. Looked just like advertised photos. Staff was super friendly. Food at their restaurant was amazing! (We chose to dine there every night of our stay.) The field across the street had the best mountain view and the hot tub was great! Will definitely return.

Property was amazing. Nice and clean. Quiet. Comfortable. Would be nice if the room I was in had A/C. It got a bit warm at night and the small fan wasn't enough to cool the room down. Other then that, the room was beautiful. Will stay again for sure.

We stayed at Buffalo Mountain Lodge on our honeymoon 20 years ago and went back for our 20 year anniversary. We loved it both times and highly recommend, however this time they were doing a lot of construction so there was a lot of mess. Make sure you book an updated room, because they are fantastic...but our friends got an outdated version and were a little disappointed The restaurant was great and had great food. We ate there several times. Be prepared to hike around the property...some rooms are uphill. The only negative was there was no common area, firepit etc to hang out wirh friends.
