Blue Buffalo Resort is a great place to stay. My room is very clean, with the kitchen and enough room for my family for a vacation to Yellowstone Natonal Park. We really enjoy our stay there. I like how we have our own individual parking spot next to our cabin which makes it convenient to load and unload stuffs from our car. Would highly recommended to anyone.

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!
