All Inclusive Guest Ranch Vacation

Written By Admin

Hidden in the Louis Creek Valley, surrounded by mountains, our BC Guest Ranch is small and exclusive offering you a relaxing, tranquil environment to enjoy a unique, hands-on horseback riding experience. Located in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, and just 4 hours drive from Vancouver, the ranch is the perfect mid-way stop on your Western Canada road trip between Vancouver and Banff or Jasper. Whether you’re travelling alone, with a partner or a group of friends, our ranch offers stunning views, great food, good company and a peaceful, calm environment to relax, unwind and forget about the stresses of everyday life

Horseback Riding is our main focus. Because we are small, we offer complete flexibility in the riding programme and a personalised approach to ensure you get the most out of your ranch experience. Regardless of whether this is your first horseback riding experience, or you are a seasoned rider, we will match you with the perfect horse and he will be yours for the duration of your stay. You are encouraged to spend time at the barn getting to know the horses. We offer a complete hands-on experience so that you can be involved with all aspects of the care and ownership of your horse.  Guided by our experienced Wranglers, we ride through the mountains surrounding the ranch on an extensive network of old logging roads and cattle trails through the forest, climbing as soon as we leave the gate.  By offering you the opportunity to get hands on with the care of your horse, we allow you to develop a bond between you and your horse that will heighten your riding experience here at the ranch. Nothing is off limits and you will be welcome to participate in all aspects of the care and ownership of your horse during your stay. We invite you to do as much as you feel comfortable with, and we will help you with the rest.

If you want to experience more than just the riding, close by the ranch are endless opportunities for fly-fishing, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, golf and more.  When you’re not riding, the ranch is the perfect place to relax and just be.

Accommodation is provided in spacious cabins nestled in small clearings amongst the trees. A real blend of modern and traditional, the cabins are furnished with custom-designed, hand constructed log furniture all made by a local craftsman and furnished with pillow top mattresses, high tread count linens and oversized fluffy bath towels. Modern amenities combined with the rustic style furniture and decor creates an experience that is luxuriously rustic.

The Guest Lodge is the centre of the activity at the ranch with breathtaking views down Louis Creek valley. It is here where guests gather for meals, activities and socialising when they are not out on the trail.

Dining at Tod Mountain Ranch is a special experience featuring wholesome, home-cooked meals prepared from scratch, with an emphasis on locally sourced, fresh seasonal ingredients.

The ranch is open from 1st May until mid-October.  We welcome guests for any length of stay from one night stopovers to multi-week vacations.
