Breakfasts and dinner were DELICIOUS.We just had our wedding at A Bear and Bison Inn and it was wonderful. Brooke was on-site every day to make sure things went smoothly. She coordinated the entire experience and thought of details I had missed that could make our wedding even more magical.
The hot tub was a highlight of the stay and SO relaxing at the end of a long day.
The rooms were cute with a rustic feel, and waking up to see a view of the mountains each morning was a treat.
Breakfasts and dinner were DELICIOUS. Truly some of the best food I have ever had.
Gigantic shout out to Annette, who did our breakfast services in the main dining area each morning. Annette, you were the best customer service experience I have had in quite some time (possibly ever). Annette had keen attention to detail and could remember who in my party liked decaf coffee or tea, who enjoyed juice the most (and would set out extras for them), and greeted my children with the warmest smile every morning. She made me feel SO at ease as my wild toddlers would play and sing (and sometimes cry) at the tables. She brought their food out early to keep them entertained and always kept an eye out for them as if they were her own. Annette made us feel so taken care of with the best combination of warmth and professionalism. Thank you, Annette!
