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.
