“Comfortable Place to Stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2007

As the previous review states, the Bear Country Inn is warm, dry, and comfortable. The rooms are VERY simple - small bed, simple furnishings, small tv, no phone. A luxurious room is not why you go to Churchill, though, and the BCI suited the purpose. There is one common room to have a simple continental breakfast in the morning, or to hang out and visit with others in the evening. There is a payphone in the lobby to call home. No internet access for guests.
We did not see the owners very much in the evening, but did go on a Nature 1st tour with Sheldon (one of the owners). He is very knowledgeable about Churchill and surrounding area. We had a great day.
The rooms are quite expensive for what you get, but I think that is sort of the "going rate" in Churchill during polar bear season.

“Good lodging/excellent service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2007

Bear Country Inn (BCI) is a clean, warm, dry, and hospitable motel. It's no Hilton, but if that's what you require, I advise staying clear of Churchill completely -- it's a frontier town. The BCI is run by a husband/wife team, Sheldon and Michelle, who are very knowledgeable of the Churchill scene. They're accommodating hosts, willing to advise, call for tours or restaurant reservations - you name it, they'd probably try to work it out for you. My wife and I stayed at the BCI and after talking with other tourists in town, we felt extra satisfied with our choice. While everything in Churchill is within a pretty short walk of everything else, the BCI is located next door to the Tundra Buggy Tour operators, a convenience when the winds blow and the snow flies. Also, the BCI provides taxi/van service to/from the train station and/or the airport - another great convenience. If I ever go back, I know who to call for a room.
