Artist in Residence – Erin Whaling – Mom Knows Everything

We are so pleased to have hosted Erin Whaling as part of our ongoing Artist Residency Program. Erin is the creator of the phenomenal podcast Mom Knows Everything. Kids and adults alike will learn a thing or two from the curious questions and Erin’s in-depth answers.


“They say that the average kid can ask up to 300 questions per day. Being the know-it-all that I am, I’ve got answers. Listen in for my thoughts on questions that range from wildly philosophical to mildly gastrointestinal. And if it’s obvious that I don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll give you the straight-up encyclopedia answer, too.”

 

During Erin Whaling’s Artist Residency at A Bear and Bison Inn, she was able to work on three episodes of Mom Knows Everything.


“My stay at A Bear and Bison Inn was so appreciated. Lonny was an absolute joy to have as a host, the food was phenomenal, and the setting worked perfectly for writing and recording.”

“Lonny even went so far as to help me get my flat tire fixed! Having this opportunity to focus on the work, away from the bustle of a busy household was an immeasurable gift.”

“My husband and I were married at A Bear and Bison Inn over 10 years ago, so this stay had wonderful nostalgia!”

I relied heavily on reviews while planning for my micro destination wedding so I wanted to leave a detailed review for other brides looking. The Bear & Bison was perfect. Lonny & his team made the planning process stress free. We had a 20 person micro wedding & rented the entire Inn for the weekend (10 bedrooms). The place is exactly the vibe for the Rockies – log cabin style with a view of the mountains. Our guests could not stop talking about the food – they even made accommodations for our 10 year old cousin who loved her pancakes instead of the “adult” breakfasts.
I cannot speak enough about the staff. Brooke, Annette, and Barbara continuously checked on us to ensure we had everything we needed. We didn’t need to bring any decorations as they set up everything perfectly from their inventory. I was so stressed about the rain (it didn’t end up raining) but the girls were fully prepared with options for umbrellas or setting up inside which I cannot thank enough. Everyone loved the bartender Landon – he talked to all the guests and made everyone feel like his family. From our bonfire welcome night, to the wedding day itself, to the goodbye breakfast, the staff made sure every event went perfectly.
This was our dream wedding. I cannot thank the staff enough for making the weekend so special for us. We will definitely be back for an anniversary. A few notes for future brides -ask the staff which rooms don’t have separate showers when planning for elderly or disabled guests -Put bath salts as favors for your guests since all the rooms have beautiful tubs -do the bonfire package plus bar the night before the wedding – it was easier to organize than planning a trip to another bar, plus people can go to bed when they want.
