Bed & Breakfast Description

Recommended by Janette Higgins as one of
"The Best Places to Bed and Breakfast in Ontario"


The 3 Bears sits on an acre of cedars and gardens on the banks of Ontario's great Heritage river, the Grand. With a rare sloping walk-down to its banks, you can spend the day there lounging, exploring or flyfishing for trout.

Our three guest rooms can sleep a total of nine, and all rooms feature their own lookout to the river and backyard gardens. There is a firepit for late-evening marshmallows and story-telling, a horseshoe pit, the "Sunrise" and "Sunset" hammocks, and ample outdoor benches and seating areas.

Our adult-oriented guest quarters are completely separate from the residence, with a private entrance through our Guest Kitchen. Here you'll find a fridge, microwave, coffee maker and dishes if you want to eat-in. The "Chart Room" features a pool table, upright piano, fireplace, radio, TV with DVD, high speed internet, darts, board games and a small library. There is also a double door walkout to the guest patio and grounds.

Small touches will make you feel welcome, including a complimentary beverage upon arrival, fresh-cut flowers, bottled water, stemware and a welcome folder with maps and special event brochures in each room. There are blow dryers in each bathroom and nightly turn-down service with a chocolate on the pillow. Breakfast menus are personalized daily: take a look at what our guests are saying, and our sample dishes. For other meals, we have a wide selection of area restaurant menus on hand, and will gladly make your dinner reservations. You can also check our room availability by clicking here.

World-class fly fishing is accessible directly from our property. The Elora Gorge & Quarry, tubing on Grand River, hiking / biking trails, shopping and the Wellington County Museum are all within a 5 minute drive. The market and shops of St. Jacobs are 25 minutes away.
