It was everything we expected and more! Kitchen was fully stocked with everything a group would need. Beds were very comfortable. Linens and towels first class. View was awesome! So peaceful!

Fabulous spot for a family vacation

We had a great time at Elk Valley Ranch. The house has more than enough room for all of us - comfortable beds, big living spaces and all the amenities you could think of. The real magic is in the location - horses to feed and get to know, creek and pond to play in, hot tub and sauna, river a short walk away - and movie night in the theatre in the barn. Nestled in the mountains - it was a wonderful get away. Thank you to Justin, Scruffy, Dixie and Roxy!

Perfect location for a retreat

We hosted a digital detox yoga retreat and couldn’t have chosen a better location! This place has everything and more to feel connected to nature and company and to feel indulged. The views from every window is like a painting. The craftsmanship throughout the home is breathtaking. The barn was perfect to practice yoga and visit. All of the details were considered. Wood chopped, kindling, matches so we could enjoy the cracking fire on cool days. Luxurious towels for bath and hot tub. The sauna was loved by all. The wildlife…wow We will without a doubt be staying again. Thank you Ginette

Don't miss this experience!

First things first: Jason is the consummate VRBO host! We visited immediately following the summer wildfires which didn't affect the local Sparwood area greatly, but we had to cancel two other of our rentals for this trip that were further west due to evacuations in those areas. Jason is knowledgable and was more than willing to take the time to discuss and recommend new areas and specific rentals he would consider. We were relieved to have his advice. His suggestions were outstanding... As to our stay at his ranch...WOW!...delightful in so many ways. The picture window in the kitchen area is superb. We watched for and saw elk frequently. All the other amenities are great...read other reviews for detail. This trip to Western Canada was in celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary. I wanted it to be our best vacation ever...and it was! Jason's ranch was the last stop on our 5-stop trip and provided the perfect setting and ending. Thank you so very much, Jason, for providing us with the wonderful experience and all the time you spent we me in the planning stage. You are an extraordinary host!

Family holiday

We had a fabulous time at the ranch. It was my parents 50th wedding anniversary and the place was perfect. Something for everyone to do and space for all of us. We loved the hot tub, sauna and the the barn for movies. Jason was a great host and the caretakers on the property really took care of any needs we had. The only thing I would’ve done different is stayed longer!

Beautiful and perfect setting for a retreat

The bugling elk and the show they put on with the back drop of fall leaves and mountains was breath taking. Everything you could possibly need is provided for and more. Enjoyed the hot tub under an almost full moon and brisk air. Cannot wait to return. Very glad Jason shares this property for others to enjoy.

Stunning Property

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here for our family Christmas. The weather was cold, but we had so much space in the lodge that we were never crowed and always cozy with the wood stove. The weather didn't stop us from going outside to explore. It was magical to sit in the hot tub with the snow falling. It's a perfect location if you have a large group. Thanks for sharing this beautiful property.
