Find the Dude Ranch of your dreams.

     Welcome to the BC Guest Ranch Association. We are a non profit organization here to help you find your perfect dude ranch. Representing some of the best that British Columbia has to offer, we offer you a simple and factual overview of over a dozen select ranches located in British Columbia. Below you will find a browser that allows you to cycle through our member ranches. You can also visit our member ranch directory, or browse through the ranches by category.

     Thanks for visiting! When you are ready to contact our members, you can use the Request Info button on the left to get information sent to you from all of our guest ranch members, with one simple form.

We are here to help you find the perfect ranch.

     Escape to the wilds of British Columbia and experience the vacation of a lifetime at a BC guest ranch. Give us your wish list and we can help you create those forever memories at one of our member ranches. Budget or luxury, family oriented or romantic seclusion – we have the answer to your dreams. Take this opportunity to download the Vacation Planning Guide which can help you determine which of our ranches are best suited to your needs.

     Activities abound for all seasons. Horseback riding is a given, with miles of trail through forest and field with the sounds of nature as the only interruption to your thoughts. Your four legged partner has been carefully chosen to carry you confidently on each day’s adventure. Fly fish in hidden lakes, hike to stunning vistas and observe wildlife in their natural habitat. These and many more activities await you.

     In winter, a hushed white blanket provides the backdrop for a brand new set of pursuits. Sunny skies and snow laden terrain make way for cross country skiing, skating, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. Whichever season you choose stunning viewscapes will surround you where the only residents are moose, bear, deer and coyote to name a few. 

     Choose accommodations ranging from four star luxury suites with Egyptian cotton linens to log cabin with all the essentials and everything in between. The constant variable will be the ever present quiet in pristine surroundings. Meals are prepared with the utmost care and attention and always served with a huge portion of our famous Western hospitality.

     A Guest Ranch vacation is a unique, life altering experience, stealing you away from the world as you know it. Immersing you in a lifestyle without daily pressures or deadlines. A week’s stay is truly ideal but we guarantee even a few days will feel like more as you adjust your pace to guest ranch life.

     As you rise each morning with not a thought of the life you left behind and only curious expectation of what the day holds - we will be satisfied that once again we have achieved our goal.

     To assist with your decision making we have placed each of our members in the specialty categories. Our Vacation Packages page will provide you with summaries of each ranch plus direct links for more information.
