Most magical small wedding
Bear and Bison inn is truly a diamond in the rough. From the first call, they were super attentive, easy to communicate with and were ready to answer every question I had. We chose the 3 night elopement package and it was perfect ! Every detail was handled and I really didn't have to stress about anything ! When the day finally arrived, Broke did an amazing job making sure we were well taken care of
We got to choose to have our breakfast together the morning of our wedding and it was one of the best part ! Food was soo delicious and one of our guest is vegan and they did a great job accommodating her! The wedding itself was so beautiful, the flowers were perfect and we couldn't ask for anything better ! Even after the ceremony and photos, Broke was kind enough to offer us a taxi to our diner reservation and there was yummy cake waiting for us when we got back. I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding, it was everything we could've asked for! The inn was also soo beautiful and cozy rustic. I loved the vibe and we definitely plan on returning for future anniversaries. Would 100% recommend having your tiny wedding with Bear and Bison inn ! -

Unbeatable Wedding Weekend Experience
We booked the Inn for two nights for our wedding, and it was the best decision we made. From the moment we checked in, Brooke made everything feel effortless — I didn’t feel a single hint of stress all weekend.
Our BBQ welcome dinner was amazing. It included anything you could possibly imagine for a BBQ meal, all cooked to perfection. The s’mores by the fire made the night feel so cozy and special, and it brought everyone together in such a natural way.
On the wedding day, the tapas‑style dinner was exactly the garden‑party vibe we wanted. Our guests raved about being able to mingle, play games, and enjoy the evening outside. Every dish was incredible, and the atmosphere was unforgettable. It was such a low‑stress, low‑pressure environment where everyone could settle in and truly enjoy the experience. Once we moved inside, the dance floor was packed until the very end. Annette kept the bar running flawlessly, and our guests adored her.
It was also incredibly special to have all our favourite people staying on site and experiencing the entire weekend with us, not just the wedding day itself.
Our guests felt so pampered and well taken care of — from the three‑course breakfasts to the picnic lunches — everything was amazing. I truly wouldn’t change a thing.
I never thought I wanted a wedding, but this weekend changed everything. It was truly the best weekend of our lives. I can’t recommend this venue or this team enough! -

We had the most incredible experience at A Bear and Bison Inn for our wedding, and I truly can’t say enough good things about this venue and the people behind it.
From day one, Brooke, Barbora, and Lonny were absolutely amazing to work with. They were always quick to answer any questions we had, whether by email or phone, and even took the time to stay on calls with me to walk through all the package options. They helped us find the perfect fit for our budget and vision—completely pressure-free.
What really stood out is how much they take care of you. Once you book and fill out their questionnaire, they truly handle everything. It made the entire planning process feel so easy and stress-free.
We rented out the entire venue for two nights and had all of our guests stay on-site with us, which was the best decision. It created such a relaxed, intimate atmosphere where everyone could fully enjoy the weekend together. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, we felt completely taken care of—and our guests did too.
The food was incredible. We’re still talking about the breakfasts and all the snack options—they made sure we were well fed the entire weekend!
Our wedding day itself went so smoothly and felt so calm and enjoyable. It was everything we hoped for and more. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a single thing, and so much of that is thanks to the amazing team at A Bear and Bison Inn.
If you’re looking for a carefree, all-inclusive wedding experience where your closest people can stay together and truly soak it all in, this place is 100% worth it. -

Excellent experience and value for an intimate wedding with full venue buyout
We had an amazing wedding at Bear and Bison Inn. The team was very attentive and easy to work with and we loved the intimate setting. We were looking for a venue that would allow for a full buyout for a few days without being too expensive and accommodate our closest family and friends. Bear and Bison delivered on all of this and we couldn't have asked for anything more. We housed 20 adults total at the inn and our total guest list for the wedding was about 60 people. We were worried the space would feel a bit tight, but the silver service menu and the use of the balcony made it an excellent experience. April allowed for fewer crowds and incredible views of snowcapped mountains and frozen lakes. We had a bit of snow a couple days before our wedding, but the wedding day itself was perfect weather for our outdoor ceremony. Lonny and the team are efficient and very seasoned so you can definitely trust them to make sure the wedding goes smoothly. -

We had an incredible three-night stay at A Bear & Bison Inn in February! We rented out the entire inn so both our families could stay together (20 of us total), and we'd recommend this to anyone else who's planning a smaller wedding. The inn is rustic, cozy, and authentic, making it the perfect space to spend time in the mountains with family and friends. The service, responsiveness, and professionalism from the entire team at the inn were impeccable! They ensured the entire weekend went smoothly, and they created such a charming and relaxing environment. It truly felt like a rustic yet luxurious retreat. And the food was AMAZING - every single one of our guests was raving about the food the whole weekend. We had the perfect day thanks to the Bear and Bison Inn! -

Beautiful September Wedding
My husband and I hosted an intimate wedding here September 2025. While there were small things here and there that could be improved, overall I have nothing bad to say about this venue. I truly could not have picked a better place to get married, I will cherish my time there for the rest of my life. Specifically Brooke, was an absolute professional and always there to communicate with. I accidentally cut my necklace into two pieces (don’t ask) before walking down the aisle… Brooke was able to fix it with a piece of string, and I am still wearing the necklace with that string holding it together! Thank you to Brooke for her kindness and gentle communication with my family and friends who stayed at the Inn.
If you want an affordable, rustic, homey place to host your wedding and guests for a few nights, this is the place. We have had tons of compliments on the food and hospitality of the staff. They truly made the event all about us, considering all of our preferences in every step of planning, if you are unsure just ask them and they are happy to clarify anything you ask! Absolutely book with them! -

I could’ve read the itinerary received a lot better! My confusion was with the liquor sales, thankfully it was figured out!!
The owners, coordinators, staff, were all absolutely amazing. Being a paraplegic it’s hard to find accessible locations - this one was not accessible… which is fine!!!
The staff kept coming up and asking if I had everything I needed constantly! It was a blessing, they did such an amazing job
I loved the Inn - to give some advice regarding accessibility though:
The doors weren’t very wide - I could barely fit through the doors
The hallway carpet and bedroom carpets are super hard to wheel on! Squishy and comfy for able people but not for wheels
I don’t think this place was pet friendly which is okay, but it would’ve been great to have our family dog there!
The bathrooms weren’t all large enough for a wheelchair to get in and turn around!
If there’s any possibility at all to include a lift somewhere at the inn!!!
The hot tub as well was apparently really hot - I wouldn’t have been able to go in - I didn’t
