Horseback rides take guests through fields of grazing cattle and tree-lined trails with views of the Lake Pend Oreille and the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains. At the ranch, a 70′ by 100′ indoor arena means even if it’s raining, guests can ride.

“I do think our ranch is a great fit for solo travelers or single women travelers,” writes Janice Schoonover, one of the ranch’s owners. “We offer adult only weeks in September, so that is a good time with no children at the ranch. We specialize in personalizing your ranch stay to fit you. You have special requests, just ask!”

All Ranch and Adventure Vacation Packages include lodging in one of Western Pleasure's cozy grand lodge rooms or log cabins, daily horseback rides, three country gourmet meals daily, evening entertainment and access to all ranch amenities.
