“Blue Buffalo Resort has a homey feel with well-equipped cabins and a convenient on-site pizzeria, though light management at night could improve. The clean, comfortable rooms include appreciated European-style bathroom features, like a bidet. One consideration: light sleepers might find the heat pump noise disruptive.”
