Just a one night on a long road trip. The email I was sent with a ton of information was great but as we were on the road 4 days prior to receiving the email the info was a tad late. Bring your towels and wash clothes as they are not provided. We did not know to pack those things but got lucky and the Dollar Store had towels on sale so all was good. We ate just down the road and it was quite good as was the ice cold beer and friendly service. Camper trailer worked out just fine for the one night.
Uniquely different property. Appears to be a Nice set up for hunters/fishermen. A little deceiving listing as it is not on the water. You can see the River and a short walk across the road to the dock but not on the River. It is in a residential area.
If ur traveling n just need a grt n unique place to hang out n have a beautiful view of mississippi river ...this would be it.
.stayed in the rental rv for overnite stay n enjoyed a fire ...uhm not the mosquitos...but the fire n the quietness was just what we wanted wth our travels ...thank you
Loved our time in Buffalo City. We will be back! Thank you!

Peaceful, clean and friendly
We stayed in the Bear cabin which was very clean upon arrival and welcoming. The patio has a table and chairs outside which was very helpful as we forgot our camping chairs! Every interaction with the owners was very friendly and helpful.
Grills look nice but could use a little TLC. Making sure they have a full tank and that they are working. Between two nearby we couldn't get them going. They had extra propane tanks but by the time we realized we were too hungry and cooked inside instead. One was empty, the other wouldn't stay lit.
We saw chickens roaming nearby. Watched the sunset on the dock. A very peaceful place!
Everything about this place was beautiful. Friendly staff, accommodating, gorgeous cabins and location. Only problem: after being there for a few hours, my partner had found a couple bed bugs in the bed in the main bedroom. Not a big deal since we both lived nearby and just ended up coming home but definitely put a damper on our weekend trip.
We enjoyed our stay. The property manager was very helpful and explained the check in process thoroughly. The cabin was only a short walk away to the Mississippi River where we took in some beautiful sunsets. A short drive down the road took us to Alma WI and a truly breathtaking view at Buena Vista Park. The only drawback for me was the close proximity to the other cabins. I would’ve liked a little more space to call my own.
The location next to the water was wonderful. We were able to see the sunset and take some great photos. The temperature had dropped but the cabin was warm and toasty.
