About

Hospitality is Our Business

Founded by Bernie and Carmelle Bendig, the Bendig family have been in the small town Saskatchewan Hospitality Business since 1973.

Over the past 50 years BHG has grown from one hotel in Saskatchewan to five; we take pride in being the social meeting place for the communities that we serve.

Although the Hospitality Business is ever changing, one thing stays constant, that is the communities we serve can count on a place to relax, meet and make friends.
