An Incredible Experience from Start to Finish The entire experience at Buffalo Ridge was absolutely outstanding. The food alone is worth the visit — the salmon salad was hands down the best salmon I’ve ever had, the steaks were incredible, and the cocktails were perfection. The spa experience truly took everything to the next level. I had a Thai massage with Patricia — my first Thai massage — and I get massages often. I went in with significant hip issues and very tight hip flexors, and within just 30 minutes I felt real relief. Patricia is truly gifted. I also enjoyed a mud and seaweed wrap along with a facial from Teresa, who was absolutely wonderful. Between the massage, wrap, and facial, this was genuinely one of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is just as special as the services. Being able to walk through the beautiful underground tunnels to the spa, with the bison outside, was unforgettable. Add in the sauna, steam room, and all the spa facilities — it’s pure relaxation from every angle. From the food to the spa to the setting, this was a truly exceptional experience. Buffalo Ridge is something very special

I had a spa weekend with my sisters at Buffalo Ridge & Spa and it was absolutely wonderful — a relaxing, rejuvenating escape! Patricia and her massage therapist were both excellent, giving top-notch treatments that left me feeling pampered and refreshed. The facility itself is beautiful and peaceful. The chef served us delicious, quality food and also made fantastic margaritas! I highly recommend Buffalo Ridge to anyone looking for quality spa services and a serene getaway. I’ll definitely be back

A fantastic place to get married! We had our wedding over Independence Day weekend, and loved the atmosphere of the Gary Days celebration surrounding the venue. Complete with fireworks and classic car shows! A serene rural setting with plenty to do (basketball, volleyball, bison spotting) provided a quiet place for everyone to gather without the distractions of a bustling city. We loved having family and out of town guests stay in the hotel, and the family suite was a perfect place for the bridal party and friends to sleep, eat, gather, and get ready. The guests enjoyed the spa, and we loved having the rehearsal dinner and family breakfasts in the Rock Room restaurant! The ballroom was the perfect size for dinner and a dance, and the patio just outside was the best place for people to escape the noise and col off for a bit around a table. Sara Guest helped me plan everything I needed related to the venue, including the amazing catering, and Shaste made the most real-looking flower cupcakes you can imagine, in our wedding colors! They were astounding!

I treated myself to Buffalo Ridge day spa for my birthday. It was amazing! They customized the entire experience and every service was high-quality and tailored to me. It’s in a very small town, which I loved because I wanted to get away and just relax. The location was beautiful and peaceful. Their new chef catered my lunch for me and his food was amazing! The whole experience was above and beyond my expectations and I will definitely be back.

We spent 2 days here for a wedding. Beautiful property. Very well cared for and plenty to do for both the adults and the kids. We had people in the family suite and in the hotel. Both were great. Rooms were nice and clean and newly remodeled.

We had our wedding here and we only have good things to say about the experience. Patricia and her staff were great. The location is a fantastic hidden gem and the food was delicious. Many of our guests have told us how impressed they were with our wedding. We love the historic charm of the hotel and enjoy the atmosphere of the Rock Room. We look forward to continuing to come to Buffalo Ridge for years to come.

My fiance and I went over Valentines day. The food was good. We purchased a certificate on the radio. She charged us tax on the valued price instead of the price we paid. There is a tunnel between the spa/restaurant that wasn't heated and it was 10° degrees out. The place always seems empty.
