This is a unique bed and breakfast. The operators treat you like family. Great breakfast. Room is tight but well supplied. The town is small.

We love this BnB and recommend it to everyone we know. The period building has been decorated with period decor making it a unique stay. The rooms and beds are comfortable. The hosts are welcoming. Breakfast is excellent. OneMore restaurant across the road is a great place for an upscale chef dinner. We will be back and continue to recommend this place to couples, families, single travellers. It’s a gem.

It was pouring rain when I arrived and Dawn came out to collect me with an umbrella. Bless her! The entire structure is interesting and I loved the reading corners and books. Room was spotless and inviting. Bed was as comfy as at home, bedding luxurious. Breakfast was delicious. I want to come back soon and highly recommend Country Encounters. It was delightful!

Pleasant stay in Coleman

We enjoyed our evening stay in Coleman, AB. We have travelled this road many times but had not taken the time to stop. The area is historically significant and we had a great time wandering around reading the information and learning more about our heritage. Supper at Chris' Restaurant was like something out of our childhood - a family owned place with tremendous portions. The BNB was quaint and quiet. Staff was friendly. The facility was a little dirty - nothing outrageous but light fixtures and room dishes could be spruced up a bit. There is no place to put toiletries in the bathroom and it was slightly off-putting to leave cosmetics, etc. on the floor. Open shelves would be most welcomed. Breakfast included left over warmed up pancakes with eggs and bacon. There is a coffee station with complimentary cookies which were delicious. The price is reasonable. Thank you.

Quaint room in a historic building in historic Coleman. We had everything we needed. Breakfast was perfect. The only bummer was that the wine encounter was closed during our stay. (one of the reasons we booked but we will take the responsibility for not checking the open days/hours). There was a very cute outdoor area that we would of loved to hang out in but the mosquitos were quite active during our stay. We would stay again for sure.
