“A relaxing and romantic one-night getaway that exceeded our expectations.”
We stayed one night at Bear and Bison Inn to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The inn has a very cozy, romantic atmosphere, and Anna especially loved how beautifully quiet and peaceful it was throughout the stay. The room was exceptionally clean and well cared for. We really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and spending time by the fireplace, which made the evening feel extra special. The king-size bed was extremely comfortable, with a mattress that provided a great night’s sleep. In the morning, breakfast was excellent and felt thoughtfully prepared. The staff were warm, friendly, and welcoming, which added to the overall experience. A nice little highlight was watching a chipmunk outside in the morning. Having Iron Goat Pub and Grill right next door was also a big plus—the food and atmosphere there were awesome and very convenient.
