Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs Resort

Sleeping Buffalo Resort and Hot Springs
Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs is a rare, fully operational resort located in the heart of Montana’s Hi-Line. Just off Highway 2—17 miles east of Malta and 10 miles west of Saco—this historic property blends luxurious modern amenities with rich heritage and a long-standing tradition of serving both local patrons and out-of-area travelers. As the only hot springs resort in northeastern Montana, Sleeping Buffalo Hot Springs has attracted guests and mineral water enthusiasts from across the country and Canada since the 1920s. Offered as a turnkey business, the resort includes income-generating lodging, gourmet dining, event space, and mineral pools—all ready for immediate ownership and offered turn-key for uninterrupted operation.

State-of-the-Art Hot Springs Facility
The Sleeping Buffalo Resort features a fully refurbished hot springs facility, fed by a 3,200-foot artesian well drilled in 2021 producing mineral-rich water at a consistent temperature of 106–108°F. The hot springs complex underwent an extensive renovation in 2014 and includes a 60' x 80' indoor main pool, a 10' x 30' hot tub, a cold plunge pool, sauna, and a state-of-the-art conference room. All pools use non-chlorinated, flow-through mineral water systems, delivering fresh, clear water to the pools without chemical treatment. The indoor pools are finished with tile, while the newly refurbished outdoor pool is coated with a durable Diamond Brite plaster and ArmorCoat epoxy. Added in 2025, the outdoor pool measures an impressive 128' x 60' and features underwater lighting, water features, and a hot tub, all surrounded by a spacious turf lounge.
