My business takes me all over Alberta. I can say, without a doubt, that this is the FINEST place by far , that I have stayed at in the entire province. If not for the warm, welcoming ambience of the Bear and Bison Inn, I would choose to stay in Calgary, 100 km to the east. Lonny and his fantastic staff have made my many trips to Canmore the perfect "home away from home". My only regret is that I cannot stay longer!
Thank you, guys, for making it "perfect!"

My husband and I stayed at the Bear and Bison for three nights, at the end of July. The inn is lovely and our room was perfect. Breakfast at a bed and breakfast is always a delight, but the morning selections at the Bear and Bison were outstanding. The picnic lunches were also delicious and made it so much easier when out and about touring. I would highly recommend this inn to everyone in the Canmore, Banff area.

After reading about the Bear & Bison on Trip Advisor, my husband and I were very excited about ending our Rockies vacation there - We spent 3 nights there, and I have to say it was not what we expected. First off, Canmore is a lovely town with great restaurants - and the Bear & Bison is in the town - not really in the mountains - so the Inn is on a corner, on the road, with cars going by and street lights outside - that's the view from the windows - mountains in the background, streets in the foreground. O.K. forget the view - when we arrived, we had to search for someone to check us in - the room is nice - breakfasts are European - picnic lunches were a great idea, we didn't have to search around for restaurants, but on the third day we realized we had eaten the same lunch three days in a row!! It is pretty, it is convenient, it is expensive......just my opinion!

We were married at the Bear & Bison earlier this month and I must say that they totally exceeded our expectations, which were fairly high to begin with from a previous stay at the Inn...

Everything was perfect for three nights. We rented the entire inn and ate most of our meals there. The service was great, the food outstanding. Not once in over a year of planning did I have any doubts about our choice of venue.

We highly recommend this inn for a weekend away or to get married. You will not be disappointed!
