Wow! Best bang for our buck! I traveled with 2 friends to Idaho and we booked a cabin here. We were so in love with the place! The cabin was pristine and had everything we needed! It was clean, spacious, well equipped, and the process of checking in and out was so easy! Even though we only stayed one night, we want to go back for an entire week. It was the best of all 6 places we booked during our trip (we were driving through MT, WY and ID for 9 days).

Nice, new looking cabin. A/C, heater worked great. Very nice surrounding. No mosquitos at all in the whole area, so last year treatment worked well. Shower and hot water worked great. Great breakfast and pizza. 20 minutes from amazing Mesa Falls. Sofabed kinda soft. Loft ceiling a little low for adult. More lighting and/or bigger signs needed from the street for the 2 entries into the resort so driver won't miss. We missed it a couple of times.

​Our stay at Blue Buffalo Resort was absolutely fantastic, and the Willow Cabins were perfect for us. We were impressed with the thoughtful layout: a private room with a comfortable queen bed and a separate area with a twin bunk bed. Although it was just my partner and I, this setup would be ideal for families traveling with children. The full kitchen was a huge plus, allowing us to cook our own breakfasts, though the complimentary breakfast was a great option too. The pizza we ordered from the resort was absolutely delicious. The entire resort was clean, quiet, and the check-in and check-out process was seamless. Just a heads-up for those staying in the Willow Cabins: there's no dishwasher, so remember to clean your dishes before you leave.

The property was very clean. If it wasn't for the outside lights staying on most of the night. Which was really irritating for me since I go to bed early. They could have at least used darkening Shades in the bedroom. If not for that I would have gave it a five star. The light was very bright in the bedroom most of the night

Supe nice!

Text communication was super clear for anytime check in and unit entry. Aspen Cabin was next to perfect. Not much table space, maybe install a couple of TV trays? Facilities clean, friendly staff, basic breakfast, pizza place on site, and free bear spray loan during the stay!

The cabins were darling, well stocked and kept up. The ONLY issue is the beds. They are too hard to enjoy a good sleep. Other than that? Excellent location and price.

This property is a hidden gem. We stayed at the willow cabin and it seemed like brand new. The cabin has 2 split system for heating and cooling. The stove and utensils was helpful as well. Also, the staff was very respectful and helpful. Special shoutout to Chandler who went above and beyond in helping me charge my ev at the property. I would definitely stay here again.
