Our ranch is located to the southeast end of Mabel Lake Provincial Park. We are nestled into the Shuswap Highlands which grade to the east into the impressive Monashee Mountains. We are surrounded by pristine wilderness in the heart of British Columbia.

The Okanagan Valley is referred to as Canada's True West - the cowboy country where cowboys still drive the cattle and compete in rodeos.
