- SSabrina Poffenroth20/04/2026The Most Perfect, Stress-Free Wedding WeekendThe Most Perfect, Stress-Free Wedding WeekendWe 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.

- MMikaela V14/11/2025Amazing Wedding VenueAmazing Wedding VenueI got married on April 28, 2025 at the Bear and Bison Inn, and it was the best decision I could’ve made. We had 64 guests and we stayed two nights at the Inn... The food was a 10/10 and everyone loved our tapas style dinner the day of the wedding... The hot tub was a great feature and all the rooms were beautiful. I can’t recommend this place enough. Definitely a cozy space that felt like I was getting married in a cabin tucked away in the mountains.

We had a 20 person micro wedding & rented the entire Inn for the weekend (10 bedrooms). The place is exactly the vibe for the Rockies - log cabin style with a view of the mountains. Our guests could not stop talking about the food... I cannot speak enough about the staff... From our bonfire welcome night, to the wedding day itself, to the goodbye breakfast, the staff made sure every event went perfectly.The Bear & Bison was perfect.

Lonny and Brooke are rockstars and kept the show running through a complex mixed-ritual ceremony and last-minute weather-related changes, and took everything in stride. The food was wonderful too.We had our small mixed-culture wedding at A Bear and Bison. From beginning to end, the team at the Inn were professional, prompt and lovely to work with.
