Riverfront Luxury, Arcade Fun, Close to YS, Perfect for Skiing/Snowshoeing

Experience the serene beauty of nature at the newly renovated The Buffalo River House cabin, perfectly situated on the Buffalo River’s edge. This spacious 7-bedroom, 4-bathroom retreat offers breathtaking riverfront views and over 3300 square feet of room for family gatherings and group getaways.

After a day of exploring, unwind in the modern kitchen, outfitted with high-end appliances and ample cookware. Relax by the fire pit or take a dip in the brand-new hot tub under the stars. Enjoy endless entertainment with Smart TVs in every bedroom and three of the four living areas, along with a selection of arcade games for some friendly competition.

The Buffalo River House is your gateway to year-round adventures. In winter, cozy up by the propane fireplace after a day of snowmobiling or ATVing on the extensive trails nearby. In warmer months, enjoy fishing in the Buffalo River or explore nearby spots like Island Park Reservoir, Henrys Lake, and Henrys Fork. Yellowstone National Park’s west entrance is a short 35-minute drive away.

The cabin comfortably accommodates up to 15 guests, with a variety of 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 only available in the upstairs king bedroom; however, ceiling and floor fans and the cool mountain air will keep you comfortable during the summer.

Families with young children will appreciate the two pack-and-plays available, but please bring your own linens.

Great cabin

The cabin was well stocked, clean and comfortable. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Loved to sit on the deck and watch the river after a long day of outdoor activities. It was very relaxing.

We loved our stay at the Buffalo River House. It was in a great location with beautiful views of the river and was in close proximity to Yellowstone. The house was clean, spacious and we were supplied with all the amenities we needed. We even had a moose visit us on our first night! The hosts were very informative and responded in a very timely manner!

Yellowstone family vacation

Beautiful property. Great hot tub & can’t beat the river view from the back deck. Enjoyed a campfire each evening. Very comfortable with plenty of room for everyone. Very spacious kitchen with quality cooking utensils & appliances. Horse back riding at the Harriman Trail Rides was awesome!! Finding the hidden moose at the home was a blast for the kids. Highly recommend this wonderful home for family vacations.

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!
