Just ended my week long stay at Three Bars Ranch, enjoyed every second, the Beckley family really know how to show their guests a great time!! The staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is well prepared and plentiful. The cabins are clean and spacious, the horses are very well loved and taken care of, and it shows!! I am a repeat guest, and every year is better then the last. I can highly recommend Three Bars, to anyone, even without riding, there is plenty of activities to keep everyone happy. The scenery is breathtaking, the sunrises are out of this world!!
I spent a wonderful week at Three Bars Ranch. The horse back riding was not only scenic but alot of fun. The food was delicious and plentiful. The accommodation had spacious rooms with great privacy and extremely comfortable beds. The staff and the Beckley family went above and beyond. I have already booked for next season
Just came back from an amazing week at Three Bars. My 8 y.o. and 11 y.o. voted it best family vacation ever. The setting is spectacular, the staff are so friendly and encouraging and the food was yummy. And the daily rides were amazing. You don't have to be an experienced rider to enjoy the ranch -- my husband had never ridden a horse before and did great. The other thing we really liked is there was no pressure at all -- if you want a day off, no problem. Want a second ride in the afternoon, no problem. It was so nice to unplug and just focus on being together. Overall, this will be a vacation we will have special lifetime memories from.
We had an incredible stay at Three Bars Guest Ranch. Tyler and the rest of the team at Three Bars are incredibly knowledgable, kind and welcoming. From taking an early morning trail ride to a hot breakfast waiting for us at the edge of a river in the forest to listening to live music on the patio - everything about our experience was excellent. The staff at Three Bars takes the time to tailor each guest's stay to meet their individual comfort level and what they hope to accomplish while staying at the ranch. This ranges from horseback rides suited to each rider's skill level to choosing afternoon activities that range from mountain biking, rafting or lounging by the pool. The Three Bars team has successfully cultivated an experience that makes guests feel at home while tucked far away in the mountains. We will definitely be back!…
This was my 3rd trip to Three Bars Ranch in the last four years. Every time I go I have a blast, it is amazing there. You start off your vacation there meeting the fantastic couple (Jenna and Tyler ) who run the horse ranch. They are always friendly and welcoming. Then you go and drop you luggage off at your cozy log cabin. The Sunday night dinner consists of fried chicken, hash brown casserole and vegetables followed by dessert. The food there is delicious. The next morning you get a good ole ranch breakfast before meeting your horse and the wrangler who will be leading you on the first of two rides; if you choose to ride twice a day. The horses in the dude string are well rounded and steady and you will be paired up with a horse according to your riding ability. If you choose not to do the afternoon ride, there are always activities to partake in (season depending) like hiking, ATV-ing, fly fishing, rafting, clay pigeon shooting etc. Then after dinner, you can partake in activities such as horse shoes, archery, axe throwing or play a round of pool in the bar area while getting to know the other guests and wranglers better. Three Bars Ranch is a very enjoyable place to vacation and I can't wait till my return visit next year. Thank you Jenna and Tyler for always welcoming us. Nigel…
From the minute we arrived to the moment we checked out, our experience at 3 Bars Ranch was excellent. There is just so much to comment on. Tyler and Jenna (owners) have created a wonderfully warm atmosphere that makes it easy to relax. They are always available and happy to assist in any way they can. The meals were great, and there was never a shortage of very good food! Our cabin was lovely - clean, spacious, comfortable, cosy, and had wonderful views. The cabins were spaced throughout the property in a way that offered lots of privacy, yet very close to the main lodge. Dining at the main lodge offered some fantastic views of the mountains. We rode every day that we were there. The horses are great and well-chosen for the rider. The trails were fun and challenging (in a good way) at the same time. Of the wranglers, Billy stands out in how exceptional he was. He is great with horses, great with people, and a great teacher! I am new to riding and his feedback elevated my skills in only two days of riding with him. Overall, this was a fantastic vacation. There were no negatives. I would highly recommend!!!…
We decided to try a vacation at Three Bars Ranch. Contacted Tyler (the owner) through their website. It was super easy to contact him & get our bookings done. Tyler is very responsive. We got in late. Dinner was waiting. Food was awesome throughout the week. Met our horses - these guys have awesome horses. Well trained, sure footed, strong, & ready to go. I was very impressed by the horse given to me. The wranglers are great. Billy stands out. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. We asked for tips around riding & he helped my girlfriend get full control of her horse. This was her first ranch vacation. I have been on 8 ranch vacations & I loved this place. Don definitely stands out. He’s 85 & rides like a bat out of hell!! Lastly, I want to thank Jenna. She’s Tyler’s boss & better half. She’s an excellent horsewoman, wrangler, & also knows how to run a kitchen. We met her 2 kids. I can tell you that’s she’s also an awesome mom!…
Tyler and his crew were exceptional throughout the process......a truly first rate experience. Tyler and his ranch maintain a professional and high integrity business. Despite all the Covid mess - Three Bars exceeded expectations and were so helpful.
The riding trails are gorgeous and even the walking rides explore photo-worthy overlooks and vistas along creeks. Being a prior horse owner myself, it mattered to me that they had enough stock so that their horses ended the season enjoying their work rather than getting sour. I was there for the closing week in September. My horse was a generous, gentlemanly guy who had worked his share during the season. But he came to me with two weeks off and was a willing and enthusiastic companion for my six days. For those who are rusty like myself, I advise getting into the saddle a few times before coming for your week. The trails have some challenging inclines and the rides are a couple of hours each half day. After the first day, which is all walking rides so that everyone can get acclimated, rides sort out into paces based on the rider's ability and interest. Each half day they send out walking, walk/trot, and walk/trot/lope rides. Three Bars also accommodated some folks who wanted flatter, shorter rides. They had a great time. Lessons are available, using the horse you have become familiar with during the week. Non-riders can go hiking, rafting when water is higher, fly fishing, shooting and take out ATV's. The food was plentiful and fresh. I was active every day and I still came back a few pounds heavier. My only change next time would be to leave off the rental car in Cranbrook. It never moved for my week at the ranch. …
Outstanding experience! The entire week exceeded every single expectation we had prior to arrival! The ambiance of the Ranch combined with the incredible vistas of the BC countryside easily made this one of our top getaways! The Beckley Family and their dedicated team provided us with an authentic and exciting week of "ranching". The kitchen staff provided us with meal after meal of first class food and service and we found the entire staff to be competent, caring and committed. If you are looking for a vacation getaway that is "off the beaten path" so to speak, Three Bars Guest Ranch is a must do!
