I had a fantastic experience at this resort, particularly impressed by the unique historical charm transformed from a former school for the blind. The staff were genuinely welcoming and supportive, making my stay truly enjoyable. The dining at the Rock Room was exceptional, serving delicious homemade dishes that exceed expectations. However, while the resort offers a range of activities, they could enhance their family-friendly options.

My stay at Buffalo Ridge was truly delightful! The newly revamped bar area offered an exciting menu that catered to both my preferences and my husband's meat-loving palate. The food was fresh and innovative, although it would be nice to have a few more vegetarian options. The friendly atmosphere made for a warm experience, but the overall service could benefit from a bit more attentiveness during peak hours.

Buffalo Ridge offers an impressive dining experience paired with a cozy, historical atmosphere. The friendly staff made our stay enjoyable, and the food was delicious with plenty of options. However, while the rooms were comfortable, there is room for improvement in their décor. Overall, it’s a unique spot that blends history with excellent cuisine.

Staying at Buffalo Ridge was a delightful surprise! The restaurant's food was exceptional and offered a wide variety that pleased both me and my husband. The staff were incredibly friendly, making our dining experience a highlight of the trip. However, I would have liked to see more dessert options on the menu. Overall, it's a great place for a couple’s retreat with its charming ambiance and thoughtfully crafted dishes.

Staying at Buffalo Ridge was a delightful surprise! The bar area had a recent facelift, and the menu offered a nice range, catering to both meat lovers and vegetarians like me. The innovative charcuterie board was a highlight, and I enjoyed the delicious salad options. The staff truly made our experience special with their friendliness. The only downside was the location, which might not suit everyone, but the food is worth it alone for a visit.
