Yellowstone Lodging at The Buffalo Valley Ranch Cabins and Cafe'. The Ranch is its own piece of history. Established September 1908 as a homestead by Henrietta and Charlie "Beavertooth" Neil. They used it as a trading post, working ranch, 8-cabin road camp and a restaurant. Charlie was well-known for his illegal fur trapping and his antics to evade the local Game Wardens. The trading post was always well-stocked with staples, and ice was cut from the Buffalo River to keep the food cool. A new store and home was built in the 1930's which is the current home of the Buffalo Valley Cafe' "A community of Scalawags, Renegades, Discharged Soldiers and Predestined Stinkers" by: Kenneth L & Lenore Diem. As you step out of your cabin, take a breath of fresh mountain air and watch the wranglers from a nearby ranch gathering their horses and mules.
