Buffalo Lodge Inn

I had the pleasure of staying here due to bad weather. I was on my motorcycle traveling to the Sturgis rally in Sturgis South Dakota, when I encountered heavy rain on I 25 in Chugwater, Wyoming. I pulled off into a rest area and got myself dried off and changed my clothes. As soon as the rain let up, I got going again, but with wet grass and mud, I dropped my bike. With some help I was able to get it upright and got going. It was near the end of the day, I went on Yelp and looked for someplace close to spend the night. As it turned out, Buffalo Lodge was just around the corner from where I was at! I called and asked if they had a vacancy. I mentioned to them that I was on a motorcycle and it had been a tough day. When I arrived it was as if they were waiting for me! The room they had for me was quiet, nicely furnished, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. All at a great rate! I was so glad I made the decision to get off the Highway! After a great nights sleep I went to the lobby where there was fresh Coffee, Honey buns, and Individual pastry Danish. They also have Yogurt, Cereal, and Juice. I went outside to check on my motorcycle. Wipe it down, and assess any damage from dropping it the night before. All good. I had my morning coffee outside with the owner of Buffalo Lodge and I felt like a friend. Here they make you feel welcome and appreciated. 5 Stars!

We stopped at the rest area near by just to use the restroom and be on our way, (around 530-6pm) but due to the horrible condition of the rest area drive/parking lot our big rig got stuck. We decided to wait till morning, put the chains on and leave then. My husband saw the Buffalo Bar & Lodge and we decided to have a date night. We tried to walk through snow toward the building but quickly learned there was not a through fence. So we walked the road past rest area. When we got there the sign said cafe was closed but La Cyndia said all we have left is chili if that’s ok. (The night before I25 was shutdown and they feed and slept over 65 people). We were grateful and ended up playing pool and talking with them until close to midnight! My husbands comment on the walk back was, “that’s the most fun I have ever had stopping for the night!” Also we learned they have truck parking!!
