Silver Spur Trails Guest Ranch Stay

Enjoy the Canadian Western life style and the friendly family type ranch atmosphere which will make you feel like home.
Riding lesson

During your Ranch-Stay you will experience a unique western life style adventure. You can be fully involved in the ranch and family activities and the daily life of horses, or you can relax on a bench near the pond and watch the Hummingbirds buzz around.
If you are a beginner in western riding you get instructions, learn how to saddle up, and get introduced to Natural Horsemanship.

We welcome guests for any length of stay from one night stopovers to multi-week vacations.

The Buckaroo Ranch-Stay includes all activities, where the Pioneer Ranch-Stay offers you accommodation and meals and lets you choose your own add-on adventures.

If you’re short on time and only passing through, we offer a 24 hour Ranch-Stay that might just satisfy your need to be in the saddle. For more information check out our 24-hour Ranch Adventure.

When you are not riding and no activities are taking place, enjoy our library, go for a hike, or play a board game with your fellow guests before enjoying the camaraderie of the evening campfire.

Silver Spur Trails Wilderness Guest Ranch is a great place for a stop-over during your Canada trip for a real country experience while touring beautiful British Columbia. You will leave the ranch with new impressions and heaps of memories.
