person found this review helpful

We were married here in the summer of 2008, we have 80 guests , with our closest friends staying at the B&B...the service was fantastic as was the vue. The staff were efficient, kind and compassionate!
Thoe food was fantastic, I cannot say enough....We checked in Friday they turned over the keys and let us have the run of the building!
It is a must do for any group function!!

My mom(visiting from New Brunswick), my son and I stayed at the Bear and Bison Inn for a night. Comfortable with great amneties( my son loved the outdoor hot tub). Our 3course breakfast gaves us all the energy we needed for our busy day. Felt like home!

We were just married at the Bear and Bison and we can not say enough about this place everything you want for a wedding in the mountains is here. The accommodations where perfect every room there was large cozy and clean. Lonny and Fiona and the rest of the staff where some of the most pleasant people we have ever met. The food was five star by far some of the best i have ever had anywhere. The wedding was 100% stress free they have every detail you could think of worked out and then some. Would and do recommend the A bear and bison inn to anyone looking for any event.

“A Perfect Wedding”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

person found this review helpful

We were recently married at A Bear and Bison and we could not have asked for a more perfect weekend. We had a group of 34, and Lonny, Fiona and Marc were all absolutely incredible. They catered to every need from every guest and were very welcoming to each and every one of us.

Fiona was sure to make sure our wedding day went off without a hitch, and she did this to a tee. It was incredibly relaxing with absolutely no stress and the whole ceremony and reception dinner was absolutely perfect. Marc is a dream at the bar. He is incredibly personable and was always there to make sure everyone had what they wanted. For our older guests, he made sure to go to them and bring them whatever they needed so they were never needing to go very far from their seats. And Lonny is a magician in the kitchen!! We had several very picky eaters in our group, and even they were raving about all the food! From gourmet breakfasts to the beautiful picnic lunches to the exquisite 5 course reception dinner, the food was absolutely worth every penny!

The location of the inn is easy to get to, and it has breath taking views from each and every room. All the rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. All of our guests raved about the whole weekend and said they would all love to return in the future. There is no doubt that we will be returning in the Bear and Bison for future visits!!

A family group stayed here on the way to Lake Louise for a wedding. Comfy and cozy with a super breakfast -- loved those white chocolate raspberry scones!

Room Tip: We had downstairs room close to hot tub! But other rooms are wonderful too.
