Your Hosts: Norm and Nan Dove welcome their guests to their home. Echo Valley is their home and their guests enjoy a unique blend of western tradition, modern comforts and quality without compromise. In short, the best of everything in the great Canadian wilderness.



Our Dream
"We knew that we had found something very special when we first visited this area. We were awed by the serenity and beauty of the land and by an overwhelming sense of spirituality and reverence for it. To this day, we still can not describe the feeling - it's simply beyond words. And so our dream began. We've built our ranch with pride, in the midst of one of the most beautiful places on earth and feel compelled to share it with others."

Baan Thai
Dr. Pinyo Suwankiri, architect to the Thai royal family, designed the traditional Thai structure of the Baan Thai. A combination of teak from Thailand for the interior, and Canadian cedar for the exterior give Baan Thai its unique appeal. Master Craftsman in Thailand carved many of the decorative pieces, which have been transported to Canada and integrated into the project.

The top section of the building is a complex of two Thai houses, a pavilion and an
entrance gate, all surrounding a tiled courtyard. The Thai houses, with their Pagoda-like
roofs, house a spa treatment facility and a luxury suite. The Pavilion offers a shaded
area to relax and drink "Numcha" (a traditional hand picked Thai herbal tea). The 3000 sq
ft ground floor is available for workshops, meetings and entertainment.

The Spa at Echo Valley

We base our Spa treatments on traditional Asian medicine and feature a traditional Baan Thai spa pavilion, designed by Thailand's most famous architect, Dr. Pinyo Suwenkiri, architect to the Thai Royal family; recognized as the world authority on traditional Thai architecture.

When you enter the Baan Thai pavilion, and the treatment rooms that are part of it, you will feel as if you have entered another world.

You will sense the harmony created by the flowing lines of the building and its rooms; you will see teak Thai carvings, Thai silks and furnishings, you will enjoy beautiful aromas and soothing music, drink delicious herbal teas and experience a wonderful sense of wellbeing.


Then there are the authentic "Thai spa" treatments, all of which have their roots in Thai traditional medicine, passed down through the "ancient knowledge" of Thailand. The treatments include our signature Thai massage, Thai foot massage, Thai herbal steam treatments, the Luk Pra Kob (herbal bag) treatments, herbal oil treatments, Thai facials that use only the hands and special herbal creams that are beneficial to your skin (no machines are used for this or any other treatments - all treatments are natural). All of the authentic Thai spa treatments are provided by qualified Thai specialists from Thailand.

Yoga anybody? In ancient times, hermits in Thailand practiced a form of exercise called "Ruesri Dat Ton". This method of exercise is virtually unknown in the west, and we at Echo Valley Ranch and Spa are delighted to be able to present it to our guests and to the world - in its authentic state, as it was thousands of years ago. We have qualified teachers on staff at our ranch to teach the first 15 basic positions of Ruesri Dat Ton to our guests during their stay.

Meditation is widely practiced by some cultures as part of their every day lifestyle. There are many ways to meditate. The method that our guests will have the opportunity to learn and practice at Echo Valley Ranch and Spa is referred to as the "three step method".
