Review from Sherri C.

I've been saving the Buffaloberry Bed and Breakfast for review #500.
The B&B is named after a native plant that grows throughout the Canadian Rockies. The Buffaloberry's berries are not only favorite treats of the birds and bears, but were also used by the Plains Indians to flavor buffalo meat. A more appropriate (and cuter) name couldn't have been found for James and Theresa's property, as you will learn about their passion for wildlife, native plants, and culinary endeavors while staying with them. The personable James and Theresa are true professionals, skilled in the art of hospitality and home-building. They designed and built The Buffaloberry Bed and Breakfast from the ground up to be a gorgeous home with a purpose: the purpose of treating guests to the best B&B experience ever.
Four bedrooms (two on each floor) are located near the entrance of the property. The living space with comfortable couches, a fireplace, bar area and outdoor patio, is shared with everyone. The breakfast table is shared, as well, which is separated from the kitchen by a sliding door. You can just imagine what wondrous creations are being made behind that door while you sit and enjoy your coffee or tea, yogurt, fruit salad, homemade granola and muffins before the hot portion of the meal is served. Theresa's recipes are tested and experimented with several times until she feels she has everything just right. And she definitely has everything just right! From whole soft-cooked eggs in Canadian bacon pockets to souffle-like Camembert scrambled eggs with onions and chicken apple sausage to buckwheat blueberry pancakes to croissant French toast...we were in B&B heaven.
We were provided with excellent suggestions for our explorations around Banff, including hikes of varying levels of difficulty and sites of historical interest. The property was perfectly located just a few blocks from the main part of town with a Safeway along the way.
No review of a B&B would be complete without comments about the rooms themselves. At The Buffaloberry, every detail has been thought of and taken care of for you. Each room has a private bathroom (two have shower stalls and two have showers over tubs) with plenty of towels and travel-sized soap/shampoo. The queen-sized beds are very comfortable and covered with high quality linens and super warm yet lightweight duvets. There are small TVs over a desk, and the two rooms facing the front of the property have additional windows from which you can see some of the mountains of Banff.
The entire B&B is tastefully and warmly decorated; the beautiful Canadian pine and special flooring offer a very comfortable yet elegant style that we definitely enjoyed. I highly recommend that you stay at The Buffaloberry while in Banff. You can thank me after you get back home and are missing Theresa and James and their delicious breakfasts!
