“just perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

You can't go wrong at the Bear & Bison. The team and staff consisting of Marc and many others made mine and my wife's wedding just perfect. They didn't miss anything and my guests were just blown away as well. The food was world class just as their level of professionalism and service. My wife Raegen and I will always recommend The Bear & Bison Inn to everyone. Look no further when seeking for a great place for your venue.

Room Tip: No pools or fitness centre, but then again your in Canmore go walk. It has extremely nice rooms and...

“Excellent all around”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 26, 2012

We wanted a place to escape. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Marc, who welcomed us, made us feel exactly where we wanted to be. We really enjoyed our time at this place and would recommend it to anyone.

“wonderful retreat”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

we were looking for a place to get away for 24 hours which was close to our home in Calgary. We have been to a Bear and Bison several times before and once again it was a great place to go to. When we got there we were welcomed warmly and given an upgrade from what we had booked.
When we enquired about restaurants to eat that they were very helpful.
The breakfast was superb as usual. The chef who is taking over from the owner while he is in England for a year is doing a great job.
We would highly recommend this b&b to anyone.

Room Tip: the rooms on the top floor have great light and wonderful views of the mountains

“Perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2012

We just held our wedding here last weekend and it was everything we could have hoped for! The staff were amazing, the inn was beautiful and the food was delicious! Our families had a wonderful time and couldn't say enough about it. This is the perfect venue for an intimate wedding or celebration - highly recommended!

“Our Amazing Wedding!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 10, 2012

My husband and I had the great fortune of having our wedding and the Bear and Bison Inn this September. It was so amazing. Everything. Having a small wedding allowed us to invite all of our guests to stay either at the Inn itself or just next door, which created such an intimate atmosphere for us and our guests. The rooms are so lovely, and everything from the soaker tubs in the rooms, the hot tub outside and the garden was absolutely perfect. Our wedding was held on the grounds and the reception there as well, which was so beautiful and cozy-exactly what we wanted. The food that was prepared for us from the family style breakfast, the basket lunches and of course our reception dinner was the most delicious food and set out in a style that really made everything perfect. All of the staff-Charlotte, Lonny, Mark and Jared are so kind and helpful and we couldn't have done it without them. This is a fantastic place and I we will be back for sure!

Room Tip: All of them are perfect!
