A Bear And Bison Country Inn - A 4-star mountain lodge with private hot tubs, gourmet breakfasts, and Three Sisters Mountain views

Located at the base of Lady McDonald mountain, this intimate 10-room Canmore hotel features cabin-style accommodations with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Three Sisters peaks. Each room includes a Rundle-rock gas fireplace, private balcony or patio, and either a 55-gallon jetted tub or six-foot soaker tub with rain shower. The inn serves a daily three-course 'Crystal and China' breakfast delivered to guest rooms or outdoor seating areas. Rooms feature handcrafted king beds with pillow-top mattresses and 42-inch flat-screen TVs. The property offers an outdoor hot tub and log gazebo set among landscaped gardens. Situated a 20-minute walk from downtown, the inn provides direct access to hiking, climbing, and biking trails across the street.

Pros

Personalized three-course breakfasts served in-room or on private balconies

Quiet location at mountain base with immediate trail access

Outdoor log gazebo with seasonal decor for ceremonies and events

Dedicated chef-owner preparing fresh, locally-sourced cuisine

Cons

20-minute walk required to reach downtown shops and restaurants

Limited to 10 rooms, books up quickly during peak seasons

“An adults-focused haven near Banff, this inn distinguishes itself with customized breakfast menus and a focus on romantic mountain escapes. The cabin-inspired suites, complete with Jacuzzis and mountain views, create a luxurious yet rustic ambiance. I especially appreciate the personalized wedding packages, making it a standout choice for intimate celebrations.”
