The bed was SO comfortable! The bedding was phenomenal also! Check in was super simple. The access was so easy right below a bar & restaurant, so we didn’t have to go far for anything & our door was right by the exit door to go to the parking lot, which was great! The TV was also a very good size. Had two sinks, one in the bathroom & one in the front room by the fridge, so getting ready in the morning was quick because we didn’t have to share sink or mirror space.

The lighting was a little dark. The window did accommodate for that pretty well though. The door, after being shut & locked, looked like it was cracked open just a smidge, which was kind of spooky, but we never felt unsafe.

Easy to find and conveniently located. The space was beautiful, clean and had all the amenities you could expect (Fridge, coffee maker, microwave, with a separate sink, TV). Shower was amazing. Bed was super comfortable and decor was exceptional. It was quiet despite being underneath the restaurant. The restaurant was good as well. outside the room was a nice sitting area and as the weather was very nice that day, I was able to sit outside with my family and visit in comfort.

Nothing big. There was a bit of an issue with the lock. But the staff helped with that. I would suggest that they have a couple of comfy chairs or a love seat to watch tv in as the only chairs were the high barstool type that sat up to the high bar type table. I am short and heavy (and older, lol) so those chairs are never comfortable for me. I don't like watching TV in bed and the bed was quite away from the TV. Really it was a beautiful room. I'm not complaining

This was such a nice hotel. The owner personally took us to our room and showed us how to work the fireplace, a/c, door lock, etc. We loved that there was a restaurant/bar/live music! Beautiful outside deck and bandstand. The bartenders were absolutely awesome! So sweet! There’s also a coffee shop right next door! Loved the location.

That being said, the towels do need to be replaced! They were very thin and no longer white and thick. Also, the kitchenette should have paper towels and a few hand towels. There was one very thin one. Also, there was no Kleenex anywhere in the room.

Large room #2 with gas fireplace, very comfortable king bed. Large walk-in shower. Nice back patio with views of the mountains. Friendly staff and owner who was very accommodating. Good food in the restaurant. They offer weekly bingo,karaoke, and live music. Patrons were also friendly.

You can hear footsteps above and some loud patrons and their cars. Place closes at 10 pm except weekends. Best if you're not a lite sleeper, but if you're out exploring all day, it may not matter.

Huge rooms, huge bathroom and tiled shower. It was the most homey stop on our 10-day trip. The bed is very comfortable. It was super hot the day we stayed and staff had the AC set nice and cool before we arrived. Great food on site (plus karaoke the night we stayed), but there was zero noise downstairs in our room. We will definitely recommend the lodge to others!

We had no problems with this room.

Rob and the team did a great job to welcome us to the Buffalo lodge. The room was clean and quiet, and the room had all we needed for the one night stay. Great communication and friendly staff. The lodge was fun and had a live band out back that wrapped up around 11, the location was just fine for us, we drove into the Big Fork village in the morning. Big fork was a beautiful place to visit! The restaurant at the Buffalo lodge was great, my partner was happy with the very meaty meal he had and I enjoyed a bison burger.

Nothing!

The room was clean and a great size. The bed was comfortable. Air conditioning was a plus! It was nice and cool when we got there. The staff were friendly. We ate at the attached restaurant and enjoyed our meal. Also, there was a drive through coffee and bagel place next store which was convenient for the morning.

The room was large and was clean. We were allowed to check in late. Communication with owner was excellent. The owner was very flexible in changing our reservation at the last minute.

There were no immediate directions for internet, but was able to text w owner and eventually establish a connection.

Good location - close enough to glacier for an early start. Huge room, really nice bathroom, has everything you’ll need. Super chill & nice. Have fun!

I’m sure it was my fault, but I couldn’t figure out the ac. I texted about Wi-Fi and was told a paper with instructions & info should be there but it wasn’t. Absolutely no worries, got online no prob and place was easy to get settled into.
