What a cute little spot! I love the history of Buffalo and these cabins coming up on 100 years old really makes you feel like you're visiting the wild west. The new owner seems to really care about keeping this place going and I look forward to coming back to see the updates/upgrades that were in the works during my stay.

Super disappointed after calling to make a reservation this morning and driving all day we get here and there is a signs that’s says open but the office door was locked. I called 5 times and just went to vm left two! Sent a text message and still nothing. Had to go elsewhere and find a room.
Super cute place and such great reviews. Hope they don’t charge my credit cards as I don’t need to spend hours on the phone with my bank disputing it. I very specificity said we would be arriving between 6-7 pm pulled in at 6:45 pm.

This is a lovely and charming little old-school motel. It's in a great location, appears to be very clean and tidy and looks to be very well-maintained. I'm not sure about the inside of the cabins because I didn't actually get to stay here. I had booked a 1 night stay, but wasn't able to check in. Things happen and the folks that run the motel have been nothing but kind, but, a few things to be aware of. This is not a chain hotel and they do not have a 24 hour desk. The office hours are posted on the website and the website also clearly states that if you will arrive outside

I've discovered that when in Wyoming it's best to stick to chain hotels. (Local Wyoming food, lodging, and fuel establishments often lag behind those of other states in such areas as cleanliness, insect pests, etc., and until fairly recently, men's public bathrooms often had no soap.) But Buffalo is a better town than most in Wyoming, and we've stayed at the Blue Gables before and it was okay. But not this time.
Our cabin contained two mattresses that were so soft and lumpy they were almost unusable. Neither my wife nor I got much sleep, and at about 4 am we finally stopped

Not your average motel stay! By not your average, I mean you cannot and will not find hospitable, friendly, helpful hosts like this anywhere. I feel as though I came as a guest and left as a friend. I was amazed by the accommodations which are so appropriate for the region of the country and truly help you to feel like you are living in the setting you came to this place to experience. For solo travelers to families, this place has you covered and is not far from Historic downtown, chain restaurants for ease and familiarity, or the Bighorn Mountains.

Great place! We were on our way to Yellowstone from Chicago and found it on my iphone maps app. Yelp had good reviews and I second everything they say. I always try to spend my money with the local small business owner instead of the large corporation. The owners here really take pride in their establishment and you can tell.

These cabins would be a great place for a retro honeymoon! In fact, it has the very look of a late 40s early 50s era honeymoon cabin.
The proprietors are friendly and live on the grounds. Karen has lots of beautifully placed and cared-for flowers that humming birds and humming bird moths were enjoying. It was quiet and cozy.
We'll definitely be back-hopefully longer next time!

Planned a quick trip to Wyoming and had the pleasure of staying at the Blue Gabels.
The cabin was rustic but perfect the pool was a life saver for all of us. I love the fact
That the owners Jim and Karen are hands on. Jim must spends hours a day watering
All the buetiful flowers.There is also a great little Bbq area if you want to sit outside and
Cook or roast marshmallows. Keith H Snohomish Wa

Stayed here on my cross county trip from Boston to Portland. On our way into Wyoming we started looking up motels and hit upon this one. We called and were able to make a reservation a few hours prior. Jim and Karen were great--made everything easy from check-out to check-in.
Our cabin was rustic and perfect. It was very clean, cozy and had everything we needed. it was the perfect place to hang out hats for the night. I would love to come back and stay longer.

Found ourselves in Buffalo, WY passing through from Chicago to Seattle and needed a place to stay. We could not have been happier with Blue Gables. The owners were so welcoming. The cabins are clean, private and well priced. The grounds are extremely well maintained and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Picnic tables and a place to grill along with a fire pit and pool. We also got recommendations for a bluegrass open mic that night in town which was incredible and super fun. Everything about this place is great and we are so happy we stopped!

My friend and I were also on a Great American Road trip and we were driving from Yellowstone in a thunderstorm before we found cute little cabins all lined up like in the pixar movie Cars. Quaint little comfortable cabins with all your need: showers, microwave, internet and warm sheets (and extra sheets on the shelves too).
This is a true mom and pop establishment and I'm glad we supported them versus the hotels down the road. Karen is wonderful and welcoming even when we rolled into town and came knocking at 1am searching for a warm place to escape the storm. If we weren't in a rush

This place is absolutely adorable!
I was on my Great American Road-Trip and hadn't booked any hotel rooms in advance. So when I hit town I started driving around looking for a place to stay. Something about this place just drew me in, and I'm glad I decided to go in!
Karen and Jim are two of the sweetest people I have ever met, very friendly and chatty.
The cabins are a little older as are the things in the rooms like the TVs, also there are no phones in the cabins. However they are immaculately clean and even though they're older they're very well kept up. The bed was

I have been incredibly remiss in writing a timely review for Blue Gables Motel - it was definitely one of the best places I stayed on my 3 week cross-country solo motorcycle trip last fall!
After being pummeled by high winds all across the state of Wyoming from Devil's Tower to Gillette to Buffalo - I was ready to give up, though I wanted to go another 50 miles farther north. As I went through the main strip of Buffalo, I saw lots of chain hotels but I had a hunch - I just kept going - the road ended, and I saw nothing to my left - to my right - I saw the sign for Blue Gables.
