Fabulous place
My friend & I really enjoyed staying here. It was a quick 2 block walk from main downtown Banff. It was a lovely place. And the owner provided us breakfast items which we weren't expecting - and were very handy as we headed out each day. The owners also checked in with us via text every day, and are very friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Richard

Host profile image
We are Richard and Alison. We are pleased to be the hosts at Banff Bear Bed And Breakfast.

We emigrated from Yorkshire in England in August 2006 and were proud to become Canadian citizens in 2015.

We originally had the house at Otter Street built in 2008, for us and our 3 children.

The last of the children left home, for school, in 2015. We did not want to move from a house that we love. It is a great house in a perfect location, so we repurposed the ground floor of the house to be a two bedroom bed and breakfast suite.

We now look forward to welcoming you to Banff.

Why they chose this property

Located at the foot of Tunnel Mountain in Banff, 5 minutes walk from downtown, the Bow river and the Banff Centre. The Banff Bear B&B Suite is the ideal private retreat after a full day of sightseeing, hiking, or skiing, or it can be your quiet hideaway where you can relax, and have some down time.

Sit out on the private deck, like a local, and soak up the glorious surroundings with views of Mount Norquay and Cascade Mountain. On occasion watch the deer and elk that wander the town site and often graze on the lawn.

The suite has it`s own private entrance so that you are provided with complete privacy. The suite is yours to use throughout the day.
