We love Buffalo Mountain Lodge for its peaceful location. The rooms are very comfortable and we love the fireplace. The Prow restaurant serves excellent food, the steak is delicious.
Beautiful location and great service. Clean and comfortable rooms with log fires ready for your return each day, great little touch and the additional cookies delivered to the room. Enjoyed my stay thoroughly and would recommend.
Awesome location on tunnel mountain that makes you feel immersed in the Banff mountain experience. Close to local trails and we loved the deer that would often come near or onto the resort property.
We did lots of winter hiking while on our stay for 6 days we absolutely loved our room and all the food from the restaurant that is on site The Prow!
The room was comfortable and quiet and relaxing.
Great place. Staff are excellent. We arrived early and they let us check in early as soon as room was ready, even upgraded us. Hot tub is nice addition after a day of hiking!
This was a fancy room, it felt like it came out of a 5 star hotel in the resort town. Great loccitane amenities, fancy shower and cool fireplace. Bed was great room was warm and cozy. Loved the stay will be back again.
