My husband and I chose the Bear and Bison for our wedding on January 9th 2007. Lonny, the owner, was very helpful and spent lots of time giving us all the info we needed, before we made a definitive decision. To make a long store short, everything about our wedding, both ceremony and reception was just perfect! Our overnight guests... more

We recently returned from a six night stay at A Bear & Bison. We were very impressed with everything about our stay. The food was delicious! In addition to a gourmet breakfast, we received a picnic lunch every day. The lunch allowed us to choose one of the many beautiful places in the park for our meal without detracting from... more

We arrived at the Bear and Bison on a cold rainy day. We had some time to kill before check in and one suggestion Lonny made (via email) was to take a scenic route with a chance to see wildlife. We did not realize that this route would be so far out of the way and the last leg 50... more

Recently I traveled to Canmore and was once more humbled by the outstanding service and attention to my needs, by Mr. Middleton and his staff. When he heard that I was traveling with my significant other, he made sure I was checked into the best suite in the Inn where I found a note of welcome and a nice bottle... more

Our first two nights in Canada were spent at the Bear & Bison and the reception we received from Lonny, our host, could not have been warmer. We arrived tired and grouchy after 15 hours of travelling, but were instantly relaxed and made to feel at home in the most welcoming of surroundings. The bedroom was elegant and clean. The... more

Just pulling into the driveway was enough for me and I knew that this was the place that we will be married.... more

Whenever possible, I prefer to stay at B&Bs for the reasons that made our recent stay at A Bear and Bison so special: genuinely gracious service, care and coddling directly by the owner, the opportunity to mingle with other guests, unique, romantic accommodations and the little unexpected delights that cinch the deal. Everything at A Bear and Bison rose to... more

My wife and I booked our wedding at the Bear and Bison for the July 1st weekend. We were nervous, never having visited Canmore, let alone the Bear and Bison Inn. We relied heavily on the rave reviews the Inn had received and we are thrilled to say they were right on the money. In terms of a wedding service... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Inn in July, 2006. The rooms were very clean and nicely appointed. The breakfasts were decent, although not to my taste. You do receive a picnic lunch for each night's stay which was very good. One word of caution - one of the people that we met while staying at the Inn had a... more
