Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. It was lovely to have access to the fireplace to make s'mores - it really adds to the ambiance of the suite. Having a kitchen helped us save hundreds of dollars on dining out. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. Staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Very nice room. Staff were attentive, but that might be because there were so few guests at the property given it’s shoulder season.

Such a perfect place for us! Our suite had everything we needed. We enjoyed having the kitchenette so we could eat our breakfasts early before starting our day. We loved getting exercise walking into town. Our dips in the hot tub most evenings were a great day to unwind. Wonderful staff!

We love Buffalo Mountain Lodge but the biggest perk is the charm of the vaulted ceiling premier rooms. Upon arrival, we were told we got a "free upgrade" to a premium plus room. This ended up being on the ground level and did not have any of the charm or appeal of the room we booked. I called to ask to switch back since this did not match our booking and they were unable to meet our request. Very disappointing.

Our stay at Buffalo Mountain Lodge was beyond excellent. The view was great, the service was better, and the room we stayed at was just the best. We stayed in the 2-Queen Premiere and it had easy access to nature just by the back door. It was clean and everything was easy to use. We ran some problems with the billing at check out because of the bank but the staff was very understanding, friendly, and accommodating to our needs and necessities. Completely professional and respectful throughout the whole ordeal. If I have a recommendation tho, it would be that I would appreciate better allocation of parking spots for guests. However, it was understandable because we stayed at a high demand time over a long weekend. Overall, I would certainly stay here again and bring my friends and family over.

The staff were so nice. Some issues were beyond the staff's control, so in spite of that- the manager stepped in and she was beautiful energy- Incredibly helpful. This is a special place with memories for my mom and I. We are grateful for this gorgeous home away from home.

The front staff that checked us in was rude and very unwelcoming. I don’t leave reviews ever but when you deal with a little racist you must make people aware. The smirk on her face too needs to be checked. Otherwise, the space was immaculate

Really nice hotel. Little out of town but there is a convenient bus available if you don't want to walk. Cosy clean rooms with everything you need. Would be nice in winter when you could have a fire! Staff at the hotel really helpful, restaurant and bar great! We got a fairly reasonable price, but I do think some of the top prices are too high in comparison to other accommodation we have stayed in. Little too expensive!
