A Bear and Bison Inn on Trip Advisor
The Best of the Best!

Wow! A Great Find!

The Bear & Bison exceeded all our expectations! Excellent Staff, service, charm, good value and an overall wonderful experience. Great location within walking distance to town and hiking. We stayed for 3 nights in early September and were lucky enough to stay one more night before returning to Calgary!

Both rooms we stayed in were spacious, had fireplaces, hot tubs, balconies and were well appointed. Lonnie, the owner served up 3 course gourmet breakfasts each morning.

The inn is charming with antiques and lots of room to lounge. The grounds are beautiful too with sitting areas to eat or just relax.
