The hotel

Surrounded by some of British Columbia's most spectacular scenery, including mountains and marshlands, deserts and forest. Echo Valley is one of Canada's premier guest ranches. Riders of all levels can improve their skills, tackling a variety of trails in the wilderness. These's also hiking, biking and swimming plus some all-important pampering in the spa! A scenic 6-hour drive from Vancouver, this ranch effortlessly combines exciting outdoor activities with a world-class spa facility. Dating back to 1908, all the old structures remain, including a log house and log shed, blending harmoniously with a wide range of recent additions. There’s an indoor swimming pool, fitness centre, hot tub and disc golf course. The Thai-orientated spa offers a full range of facials, massages and beauty treatments, perfect for reviving you after a busy day trekking in the mountains! Although horse riding is the main activity, ring the changes with gold panning, 4x4 canyon tours, hiking, biking, swimming, whitewater rafting, bird watching and fly-fishing. At night, join in a cowboy cookout, listen to some native drumming and feast on gourmet food with Thai dishes a speciality!

We stayed for the weekend on the ranch with the family during our Canada trip. The hosts Norm and Nan have created a wonderful place in the middle of the Camloops. Arriving there, you immediately feel like coming home to the family. The whole place runs like a big family and we really enjoyed all the friendly hospitality off the whole ranch stuff. All the meals are held in family stile, means, that you sit together with the hosts and other guest on a bigger table and share the meal. Patrick the Chef du Cuisine does a marvelous job for all of the meals. This was first class. Nothing didn’t fit to our guts. Also the wrangler are very friendly and do a very professional job with the horses. As non professional riders, it was no problem to go out with the family for a ride. And if your are not so much into horseback rinding, then Darrel is your man! We had so much fun with Darrel during fly fishing, shooting, .... Thanks to the whole team around Norm and Nan for these amazing days. Read less

We visited Echo Valley Ranch from the 13th - 16th August and had an amazing time. From the moment we arrived, we were so warmly welcomed by Nan, Norm and their amazing staff. The farm is set in the Cariboo mountains and with 160 acres, you have plenty of space to explore. The food was incredible, on our first night we were treated to a cook out followed by smores by the fireside for the children. On our last night it was a Thai themed night and yet again, Echo Valley provided an amazing meal with so many options to choose from. The horses were really beautiful and during our time there we had a family horse riding lesson and 2 treks. The wranglers were super friendly and helpful and were great with my eldest who was a little nervous. You could also participate in shooting and fishing. I have to say the facials at the on-site spa is also highly recommended. What makes Echo Valley Ranch so special is a combination of the setting, the warmth and friendliness of the entire team, incredible food, an array of animals (pigs, chickens, cats, kittens, dogs, horses) and the sheer vastness of the open space available to explore. My children (aged 9 and 11) are already asking can we go back which is always a great sign. Would definitely recommend. Read less

We spent 3 nights of our honeymoon trip touring BC at Echo valley and it was amazing. The food was phenomenal, the activities were great catering to all abilities (myself an experienced horse rider and my partner having only been on a horse once before) it was amazing for both of us. We got to try shooting which was great fun! All the animals on the ranch are super friendly with the dogs and cat joining guests and staff for BBQs and bonfires. It was an amazing experience and would love to be able to go back if we are ever back in Canada again! Could not recommend highly enough. Read less
