Welcome to Buffalo Trail an ATV resort that incorporates the atmosphere of camping with the luxury of a nice restaurant, bar, craft beers and, of course, site-wide Wifi.

Buffalo Trail is a family affair that connects to a five-generation farm that has prospered in the greater Bluewell area for decades. The site of the resort where the old Bluewell Manor apartments used to sit ties in with the Peters family Briarfield Farm where buffalo are raised.

Owner and General Manager Seth Peters initially moved away from southern West Virginia but came back to the area eight years ago. His dream for the Buffalo Trail lodging is to cater to ATV tourists. However, he hopes the restaurant will be a draw for both locals and tourists.
