Great Rustic Log Cabin

Great log cabin in Whitefish, close to downtown and nearby tourist attractions. Cabin was well stocked and comfortable beds. Great outdoor area with two grills, fireplace, hot tub, nice seating area and fire pit dining table. The four bedrooms and four bathrooms worked out great for our large group. It was very nice!

The Buffalo Lodge was great! Rustic, comfortable, great large kitchen. Location and deck are also phenomenal. Hot tub was a little low on water, could have been a few more towels. Other than that very pleased!
