Adventure Ranchvacation for young and old on the Redwillow Guest Ranch

Redwillow Guest Ranch is a working guest ranch situated in British Columbia. We offer an unforgettable, full-board Cowboy style riding holiday.

North America > Canada > British Columbia > Lone Butte
At an allevation of 1200m we are situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty with clean, fresh and crisp air. You will see breathtaking mountains on the horizon as you meander through woods. This is Cattle Country which means vast areas have been kept in their natural state to allow for grazing, endless woods and fields to ride through. Redwillow Ranch lies within 1000 acres of fenced in land, 600 acres of which we manage, behind and in front of us is what is known as Crown land; land that belongs to the government open to our use. Which means hours of hours of trails to ride through or hike on. The Watch Lake/Green Lake area we are part of is known for 100s of fish rich Lakes, ideal for any type of fishing. Interlakes another fishing area is known as the "fishing highway" All this are easy to reach within a 10-15 min drive. Here you can hire boats to fish or even go swimming. Some of them you can reach on horseback and swim with our horses.
