The Tyrannosaurus Rest Bed and Breakfast

The T Rest is great! Shawn was a great host, and made a great homemade Mexican breakfast for us. The decor is very fitting for the style and time period of the house, and Shawn had lots of great photos and information and stories about the history of the home. The location was within walking distance of restaurants, stores, liquor store, paths along the river, etc. We loved the T Rests resident dog (the biggest, quietest, sweetest flood) BUT if dogs aren't your cup of tea, she was never really indoors or in the common areas, we wouldn't have known she was there if we hadn't seen her on the way in. Bit of traffic in front of the house, but the noise didn't interfere with our sleep -- we still had a great rest and wish we had more than one day in Drumheller. Rooms had updated bathrooms, convenient power bars for charging, fans and space heaters if desired, and comfortable bedding. No ghosts! But lots of great stories about this heritage property.

Shawn is an excellent host, more than willing to share his extensive knowledge of Drumheller and area and its history. Breakfast is varied and delicious.The property itself is a beautifully decorated 1912 home with a mixture of updates and original details. The attic is great for a family of four, and it's no surprise that it's heavily booked over the summer. Be sure to ask Shawn about the history of the house.

My sister and I stayed in the attic suite while touring Drumheller and visiting family. It was such a unique home to stay in. A great deal of thought has gone into ensuring you have a most comfortable stay. Shawn is a wonderful host and provides the most amazing breakfast. I would not hesitate to recommend T-Rest.

We stayed with 4 adults and a toddler. Shawn was very accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful with many suggestions of where to eat etc. Breakfasts were excellent, a great way to start our day! Rooms were well appointed and comfortable with ample reading readily available. The Building and grounds were very artfully renovated and well maintained. We had a great stay and highly recommend. Thank you again Shawn!

Undoubtedly one of the best BnB experiences we’ve had ! With a 7 day stay at this historical home we were able to enjoy varied gourmet breakfasts prepared by the owner Shawn! We were amazed by the attention to detail he had for his BnB with regard to decorating, landscaping and of course breakfasts! ( accomplished by himself) Like the last post, my husband and I truly felt like we made a friend by the end of our stay ! We will return and highly recommend it for your stay in Drumheller! Thanks so much for your hospitality Shawn! See you next time!

What a fantastic place to stay. Shawn is an amazing host and the B&B is spectacular. You will not be disappointed. Check out the dragon peeking out of the tree!

I could not have picked a better place to stay when visiting Drumheller!! We stayed for two nights and were sad to leave! Shawn, the proprietor, was such a generous and gracious host and his home was the perfect B and B. Shawn was responsive and kind and always made sure we were taken care of. The food he made us was delicious and he took extra care to ensure the kids didn’t leave the table hungry! He even made a special trip out to the grocery to get me soy milk so that I could enjoy his homemade muffins while on my special diet. He made great suggestions for things to do which greatly enhanced our stay. And he took the time to get to know us and let us get to know him, I loved the personal connection we made. His home, what a treasure! So much detail and interest. A beautiful, welcoming space we enjoyed sitting on the front porch having our breakfast and playing cards in the family room in between our daily travels. Shawn would check in on us and engage in pleasant conversation and even offer up coffee and cookies - making our stay even more pleasant and truly Going above and beyond. All the best Shawn, thank you for the great memories! T, R, R, S.

We loved our stay here! We stayed in the Attic Room, which was lovely and spacious. There is a sitting area in addition the bedroom, and a large bathroom. It is not air conditioned, but there are several fans and windows that can be opened for fresh air. Shawn is a fantastic host. He has so much knowledge about the area and we truly enjoyed chatting with him about Drumheller. He is very friendly and really made us feel welcome. At breakfast, he set a beautiful table for us and was extremely attentive. The food was delicious! Everything was fresh and tasty and Shawn was able to accommodate special dietary requests. We highly recommend this place and feel lucky that we got to stay here.

We LOVED our stay at the T-Rest! Shawn is incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable of the area, and we cannot say enough about his delicious baking. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and cozy - we were enamoured with the Jessie Gouge room with its soft bed linens and beautiful wallpaper (and the wonderful dinosaur sugar cookies waiting for us within when we arrived!), wishing within minutes that we could have stayed longer than the single night we had planned. We will definitely be returning and agree wholeheartedly with one of the younger guests of the day who gave Shawn a “1000/10” rating for his breakfast!

Fantastic! Wonderful! Amazing! Our two night stay was absolutely the best. Owner Shawn has created an environment that brings you back to the feeling of a refined and gentler time. His cooking and baking skills are simply glorious! His attention to detail is impeccable. And he does it all himself! However, best of all, Shawn is so very welcoming, prepared to assist in any way and is a genuinely nice man. Upon checking out, we truly felt like we had made a new friend.
