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 do trail rides year round! We cater to everyone from dudes to cowboys - in BC's South Cariboo!

It's titled "Guest Ranching - No One Horse Industry".

 

 

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!

All of our cabins have been inspected and approved by Tourism BC for the BC Accommodation Guide! Our horses are all kept in top condition all year round and are horses that even the best cowboy would enjoy riding. 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!
