It was a quaint Inn. It was unique, served breakfast at room. They prepared breakfast instead of processed continental breakfast.

Very cozy cabin room with extremely romantic vibe. They also deliver breakfast (brunch style) to your room next day which is surprisingly delicious! I think it could beat most of brunch places in New York. I’d highly recommend to stay here for more than one night so you could take your time to enjoy it!

During our recent stay at the Bear and Bison Country Inn, we found it to be significantly overpriced for the experience it offers. The accommodation feels outdated, reminiscent of the 1970s rather than a modern, comfortable inn. We stayed 3 nights over the busy Canada Day long weekend and paid $610 per night, including all taxes and fees. The inn is also a fair distance from the Canmore town center, about a 30-minute walk. In the interest of fairness, there were some positives: 1. A great breakfast delivered to the room. 2. The Iron Goat, an excellent pub right next door serving phenomenal Duck Wings. 3. Super premium toilet paper (no, really, this is the gold standard from now on) However, for the price point, the overall experience was disappointing. Here are the main issues: - The lack of a proper bathroom: there was a jet/soaker tub literally in the room and a tiny separate toilet with a sink - without vanity - The soaker tub was super dated, with a shower curtain and a broken hot water handle. - The carpet... hello 70s, though it was clean. - The mattress was extremely bouncy and had probably seen better days. - There was no wardrobe or place to hang clothes. - On the afternoon of Canada Day, the lawn outside our window was maintained with loud and smelly equipment for at least 30 min. Overall, for over $600 per night, I expected a much higher standard of accommodation and amenities. This review reflects the high price and the unmet expectations associated with it.

We often go to Banff every year but this time decided to go to Canmore. To our extreme pleasure this place is a hidden paradise. We really like the place, its surroundings, room and the backyard especially. Everything is so beautiful. The delicious breakfast was cherry on top. Im gonna let all my friends know about the place to visit it at least once. If there are more than 5 stars, I will give it to Bear and Bison inn.

Found by Accident - Will Return by Choice
Looking to escape for a night, came across A Bear and Bison Inn... and we are so grateful we did! This is a wonderful change from the big chain establishments. Our stay felt so much more personal and in turn made it just what we were looking for. We were delivered a coffee tray (French press prepared for morning with mugs and condiments), in the evening as arranged, so that we could enjoy our morning coffee when we were ready. Our beautiful and delicious breakfast arrived at our chosen time. We chatted with Lonny (owner and chef) at check-out and appreciated our convo and his road trip suggestion for the day. We took the road less travelled and were thrilled! Very grateful for the suggestion, and it will become a regular journey. A Bear and Bison is a special place, we'll be back.

The front desk people were really friendly and polite. We were able to enjoy our stay with no issues or noise. The view was amazing to look at in the morning especially with our room service breakfast which was included with stay. I definitely will stay there the next time I’m in Banff! Thank you so much for you kind costumer service. :)
