The Buffalo River House: Riverfront Luxury, Arcade Games,Hot Tub,Near Park

Experience the serenity of nature at the newly renovated The Buffalo River House cabin, perfectly situated on the Buffalo River’s edge. This spacious retreat features 7 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, spread across over 3300 square feet, offering breathtaking river views and ample room for large groups or family getaways.

After a day of exploration, gather in the fully equipped kitchen, outfitted with high-end appliances and plenty of cookware. Unwind by the fire pit or enjoy a soak in the brand-new hot tub under the stars. Entertainment is plentiful with Smart TVs in each bedroom and three of the four living areas, plus a collection of arcade games for added fun.

The Buffalo River House is designed for year-round enjoyment. In winter, relax by the propane fireplace after a thrilling day of snowmobiling or ATVing on nearby trails. In the warmer months, enjoy fishing in the Buffalo River or nearby spots like Island Park Reservoir, Henrys Lake, and Henrys Fork. Yellowstone National Park's west entrance is just a short 35-minute drive away.

The cabin comfortably accommodates up to 15 guests, offering a variety of bedding options including king, queen, twin, and bunk beds. Two washers and dryers make laundry easy, and conveniences like WiFi, a dishwasher, three refrigerators, and a gear-friendly garage enhance your stay. Note that air conditioning is available only in the upstairs king bedroom; ceiling and floor fans and the fresh mountain air will keep you cool during summer.

Families with young children will appreciate the two provided pack-and-plays (please bring your own linens).

Family Thanksgiving getaway!

We had family from a few different states meet here for Thanksgiving. We loved everything about the cabin. It’s very spacious for large groups. We would have loved to write in the guestbook, but couldn’t find one. The hosts were very responsive when needed. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, Spacious, Comfortable Cabin for Families with Pets

Chose this place because it fit our large family of 15 with a dog and it had ample sleeping and lounging space that it can easily fit more! Everything seemed pretty new/well-kept and clean. Bathrooms and kitchen were luxurious. There are neighboring cabins close by but it didn’t seem like anyone was around this time. We wish we came at a warmer season so we can fully enjoy the many decks, grill, fire pit, and river. So we opted for the jacuzzi and many board and arcade games inside. Tips: As a pet friendly place, there might’ve been a cat previously because one of our cat-sensitive family members got bad allergies while only inside the cabin. Be careful of the uneven steps up to the second floor- everyone tripped multiple times while going up the first night but thankfully it was soft thick carpet. Also there’s no stove hood so make sure to open windows to prevent the kitchen from getting too smoky when cooking. It can get confusing getting there at night/during a storm so try to arrive before dark. Hosts were very organized, communicative, and helpful. Overall, very impressed and highly recommend it!
