Meadow Springs Guest Ranch is a working ranch in British Columbia, Canada, that has cabin rentals and does horseback rides, and trail rides. The Ranch accommodations can sleep up to approximately 11 guests. This small number allows us to provide a very personal service to our guests. We have saddle horses for every riding ability and cater to everyone from dudes to cowboys - in BC's Beautiful South Cariboo!

Holidays at Guest Ranches and Dude Ranches, especially if they are also a working ranch, can be a very enjoyable and memorable experience! April is calving time, and branding day in May is always fun! In June we turn the cattle out on pasture, and during the Summer months we check on them as often as possible. In September we do most of our riding as we round-up for neighbours and friends and head their cattle towards home. Throughout the whole year there is endless ranch work like haying, fencing, building gates, tractor work, etc, and we invite our guests to participate in as many activities as they wish - or they can sit and relax, watching British Columbia's birds and wildlife from their own private cabin deck! Have a look at "The Ranch" page or the "Things to do" page for more information on what's available and on our "Fun Stuff" page there are lots of photos!

Our Cowboy guests can drive tractors!

All of our cabins are clean, comfortable, and cozy! Our horses are all kept in top condition all year round and are horses that even the best cowboy would enjoy riding, and yet are safe for even a first time rider. We are located 3km west of Highway 97, just south of 100 Mile House. We are both Canadian - born and raised in Canada's west - cowboy country!

Seems I haven't had time to even update our own web site - thanks for the reminder Wendy! We had lots of hunters and lots of web site work. Since I last wrote here it has warmed up a lot. It's white but just barely.

We had a film crew from Norway here doing a story on cowboys which will be aired in February in conjunction with the Olympics. It was NRK which I believe translates to NBC. Mike Puhallo came up to do some cowboy poetry and help me move some cows ... should look great on TV as there was a fresh 6 inches of snow.
