Each room also either offers a view of the riding stables or the beautiful valley. Sagebrush is the main guest house where guests their meals together with the staff in the dining room.

Coyote Lodge

This traditional log cabin has six bedrooms and two full bathrooms, large living room and fireplace - and two terraces from which you can enjoy sunrise and sunset. The Coyote can accommodate groups up to 12.

Cabins
Wake up to the sound of water trickling and birds singing. To the south you can watch the horses return each morning from the vast expanse to the horse pen. Behind the cabins are the forest and mountains. The Cabins are close to the path that leads to the lake, where you'll find canoes and paddleboats.

The Tepees
For summer fun, experience traditional First Nations living in the authentic tepees which are complete with central fire pits and electric lighting. In addition, spacious campsites are well-defined and equipped with fire pits, picnic tables and wood. A washhouse with private bathrooms and showers is close by.

Follow natural trails through the forest or enjoy the wide-open spaces, over rangelands and mountain meadows of the Cariboo Cattle Country. Feel the freedom that can only be experienced on horseback. Big Bar Guest Ranch has horses suited for all riding abilities.

The horses are "user friendly"! Whether you have ridden all your life and just want to experience new country or have never been on a horse before and want to "give it a go," Big Bar Ranch has the horse for you. Just like people, the horses have their own distinct personalities and the experienced wranglers will match you with a horse that will suite you perfectly.

The horses are the heart and soul of the Ranch and are well fed, healthy and constantly groomed. Come and see the nightly event as the horses are turned out to open graze, play and socialise, before returning to the barn in the morning.

They live on the ranch year round, and are ridden throughout the winter. Therefore, they have constant human contact and nurturing which is so vital to their well-being and continued well-mannered dispositions.

Pack Trips
You will be taken through some of the most breathtaking scenery from majestic mountains and meadows to desert. Here you will encounter wildlife, Indian carvings and interesting land formations as you go. Camp out under the stars while enjoying late night campfires, tall tales and warm western camaraderie. The memory of this experience will stay with you forever.

"Pack-trippers" are encouraged to arrive by early afternoon on Sunday, so that the experienced guide can introduce you to your horse and take you out for a familiarisation ride. A pack-trip includes all meals, accommodations, horses, tack, tents, cabins, supplies, guide and cook. All you bring is your sleeping bag, clothing and personal supplies.

There are plenty of other activities available at Big Bar Ranch, including Gold Panning, Canoeing, Fishing, Hiking, Mountain Biking, Bird Watching, enjoying the beautiful Flora and Fauna - and Stargazing!

Flora and Fauna
Every summer the blooming wildflowers transform the country into a sea of colors. A spectacular show is put on by many varieties of wildflowers. Varieties include: lupine, columbine, lilies, orange hawkweed, wild roses and paintbrush. British Columbia is a bird watcher's haven. More than a million birds migrate on the Pacific flyway, and thousands stop over or stay through the year. British Columbia is one of the richest wildlife viewing areas in Canada, with diverse and extraordinary creatures ranging from Aise Swallowtails, and Green Herons, to Trumpeter Swans.
