• Nature-based, multi-activity adventures: Riding; fishing; hiking; mountain biking; river and lake swimming; skeet shooting; wilderness survival; interpretive nature walks; bird watching; canoeing and more!
   
• Small, private and exclusive: Currently a maximum of 14-24 guests and 14 staff ensures royal pampering; personal service; attention to detail; and intimate, boutique atmosphere.

• Authentic culture: Owners are Canadian (no immigrants or foreign influences as with many of the Canadian ranches), fourth generation ranchers, hands-on hosts and guides. Setting is akin to an “Old West” ranch estate, with log buildings, snake fences and true frontier flavor.
   
• Sustainable travel at its best: A top eco-friendly luxury destination in Canada (the Globe & Mail). Solar powered family farm; daily best practices policy; conservation; home grown and free-range food; minimal environmental footprint.
