A family group stayed here on the way to Lake Louise for a wedding. Comfy and cozy with a super breakfast -- loved those white chocolate raspberry scones! More

The rooms are not large but are well layed out and also cozy and comfy. Very nice view from the huge front windows. Only negative----it was hard to... More

Fiona is fantastic as the face of the Inn and Lonny is unbelievable in the kitchen! Wow. Charlotte handled every detail of our wedding set-up (she even made sure to study up on... More

Recently, we made a last minute decision to enjoy the unseasonable weather in Alberta and take a scenic drive from Edmonton to Canmore. We were interested in trying a new bed & breakfast in the area. My husband and I were welcomed warmly when we arrived and given helpful information on a restaurant for dinner and the facilities of the... More

We researched all Canmore hotels to find one that would give us a lovely romantic weekend. The website indicated complimentary cocktail hour at 5pm to meet the owners, hot tub, jacuzzi suites, breakfast and picnic lunches so you can explore the mountain countryside. We rented the most expensive room, which was pricey but we wanted to thoroughly enjoy the weekend... More

Kudos to Marc for his superb breakfasts and helpfulness. This inn also features incredibly comfortable linens and bed and is located in a quiet area of town with great views of The Three Sisters mountains. Lovely common area to read and relax in after a day of exploring Banff which is nearby. Lots of hikes in Canmore too, making this... More

We stayed at A Bear and Bison Inn on Sept. 18 & 19, 2011 and are very happy we did. We learned how to make French press coffee! The rooms were clean and very comfortable. The views of The Three Sisters from the Inn were great. The library and the common area were welcoming and decorated nicely. The staff and... More

Last minute bookings are such an amazing deal. I cannot believe this place is not full all the time. We paid $10. less for a Bed&B. where we had to cook our own breakfast. We loved the bear&bison so much, we stayed a second night. The breakfast was impressive both mornings. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Very quaint... More
