20 Years at A Bear and Bison Inn

A lot can change in 20 years. Saplings grow into towering trees and little kids grow into strong adults.
A Bear and Bison Inn has certainly changed throughout the years. However we also pride ourselves on the things that have stayed constant since opening our doors in 2002. Great food, clean rooms, bad jokes, dedicated customer service and of course the magnificent mountains out our windows.

We have made so many memories at over 20 years at A Bear and Bison Inn. Moments of pure love from the hundreds of couples that have been married under our roof. Memories of utter fear when A Bear and Bison was nearly taken down river in a flood. First jobs for keen teenagers cleaning rooms and washing dishes. The list goes on as A Bear and Bison Inn has been, and continues to be, a huge and wonderful part of our lives

A Bear and Bison Family,

I got married on April 28, 2025 at the Bear and Bison Inn, and it was the best decision I could’ve made. We had 64 guests and we stayed two nights at the Inn. My number one compliment to this venue is the staff. Right from the beginning Lonny was a very responsive with emails and helping guide me through wedding planning. There were no hidden fees and everything was very professional and thought out. The day of the rehearsal dinner, check-in was smooth and Brooke and Barbara immediately started setting up all the little details I had planned. The service at the Inn was just incredible and they were so nice and reassuring. The staff were hands down one of the highlights of my wedding. The food was a 10/10 and everyone loved our tapas style dinner the day of the wedding. I was so impressed how efficiently food was distributed to everyone and how guests with dietary restrictions were provided for.

Our bartender was fantastic and even gave us tips on the best spots for pictures. The hot tub was a great feature and all the rooms were beautiful. BREAKFAST was unreal both days, and guests commented on how wonderful the whole space was. I can’t recommend this place enough. Definitely a cozy space that felt like I was getting married in a cabin tucked away in the mountains. Perfect for smaller intimate weddings. This venue is VERY experienced with what they do and can guide you to decisions that work best for everyone!
