After looking high and low around the area to find a place to stay for a funeral we were attending in Hendricks, MN, I found this place on the web. What a wonderful surprise! A beautiful restoration of an old school for the blind, Buffalo Ridge has more of a campus feel than that of a hotel. The place is... More

Nice spot for autumn camping, with the fall colors. There are some walking paths, a tiny lake and a stream, fishing, a playground, and clean shower facilities for the campground guests. The campus includes a hotel, meeting room facilities, and The Rock Room bar & grill. The food was not very impressive for the cost, although the service was excellent... More

This review is for the Rock Room Restaurant and resort grounds, not for the hotel portion of Buffalo Ridge Resort. We enjoyed a nice dinner in the restaurant. I wasn't sure what to expect for service after reading a previous review, but the service was very prompt and friendly. Our food was delicious and there were no mistakes with our... More

Snuck to Gary, SD for a couple's weekend and couldn't have been more pleased with the ease of making a reservation, the front-desk greeting, the room and the grounds. Loved the history of this resort and the fact that a local entrpreneur turned the former School for the Blind into a place that provides respite for travelers and campers, dining... More

The Buffalo Ridge Resort is an unbelievable place. It is the former South Dakota School for the Blind. All of the buildings are the original school buildings. They are restored to beautiful hotel rooms that rent for under $100 per night. The campground has 29 sites of which over half are full hook-ups. It has an on sight bar and... More

Who knew this place existed? Apparently my cousins did as this is where they took me to eat dinner. We had attened a prayer service/wake and were famished. (At least I was!). Small towns in S.D. on a Sunday night leaves you with very little options. We arrived about 5 minutes before the grill closed (9PM). As mentioned...I didnt know... More

Excellent accomodations. Much more quiet than one may expect from such close quarters. Ambiance is lovely. Food in the Bar - Excellent. Service/Staff - Excellent!

We had made it a point to visit this destination after hearing about how unique it was, but was very disappointed in the dining experience. After sitting a table waiting for a server to come, we ended going up to the bar to get our own beverages. Other couples came in after us and a server brought them menus and... More

Wow what service they have at this place this past weekend. I have been to the Rock Room to eat a couple times before but they must be under new management since we were last there about a month ago. We were greeted by a worker in the front area and told us to see the hostess so we went... More
