A Bear and Bison Inn on Trip Advisor
Magical from start to finish

From the moment we arrived we never had a single thing to complain about. The wedding package was phenomenal. Everything was magical (thanks again!) They handle all the details so it was a stress free day. Our wedding dinner was easily one of the best meals I’ve had with brilliant drink pairings. Even with a celiac and vegan’s dietary needs it was handled perfectly. Everyone that contributed to the day, Lonny and Eugenie at the Inn, Twyla our officiant, Michael our photographer, his wife who made the bouquet, lol and all the additional staff that made the day possible. You were all brilliant and we can’t thank you enough. Highly recommend. Ps. The breakfast everyday was sooooo amazing.
