We were advised your ranch was comparable to a luxury ranch in Wyoming where I have visited 7 times. Your ranch is above average, lovely cabins and food set in stunning landscape. My riding experience was disappointing - relegated to walk/trot rides as I chose to mount my horse from the mounting block...how degrading. My horse was uncomfortable as its girth too wide for my size but I was refused an alternative smaller horse. My highlight was an afternoon learning to fly-fish in a nearby river. My riding abilities - I ride most weekends at home in all paces over open countryside, up and downhills and wooded areas depending on conditions. I have travelled far and wide since 2002 - France, Africa, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho Ireland, some venues many times. All had dedicated wranglers to ensure right horses for you and in all paces - walk, trot (post), canter (lope) and gallop - wonderful photos and memories. I am trying to forgot the holiday with your luxury ranch - not many photos to remind me or make me wish I want to return. Such a long way to travel from UK and so much money for so little enjoyment.

Spending time on a Dude Ranch has been a long term dream of mine and I have just realised that dream at the 3 Bars Ranch. The experience my husband and I had was perfect and we’d like to thank all of those who played a part in making this the most memorable of times. To the Beckley family for creating and managing this wonderful place. To the wranglers for their care, energy, patience and humour- Claire, Bella, Nat, Clare, Isabelle, Billy, Ashleigh, Kerry. To the kitchen, housekeeping and ground staff for feeding and looking after us and our environment so well. To the horses for putting up with us, especially Griffin and Finnegan! There are many names to mention so I hope I haven’t missed anyone out, we really did appreciate everyone of you.

This place is a home run. Our entire family voted it the best vacation ever. We traveled as a family of five with kids ages 7, 10 and 12. The Beckleys were easy to communicate with, very accommodating and made the behind the scenes execution, which I'm sure is extensive, seamless. We booked only a few months in advance on a whim and lucked out that the only availability happened to be the week we needed, but I'm sure people book 6-12 months in advance typically. I expected fairly rustic accommodations and was blown away by how lovely the cabins and furnishings were. Everyone had plenty of space, with coffee makers and mini fridge in each room. I also expected basic ranch food and the food was so plentiful and delicious that I gained 5 pounds in a week. They were also very generous and accommodating of our dietary needs (gluten free) and provided great variety for us. Mediterranean night, BBQ night, one night of the most delicious roast chicken and vegetables, super salads with great variety and our kids loved the kitchen-made desserts. Even my picky eaters were happy with full tummies. Beds were super comfy with western decor in our log cabin with modern furnishings and modern bathrooms. Comfy chairs on the porches to watch the goings-on at the ranch - I particularly enjoyed sunrise and watching the horses come in from the pastures to the corral. There were TVs but I couldn't even tell you where the remote was - it never got turned on. We are not a horse family - we just wanted to try something different. We are all in love with our horses and with riding now. The scenery is just spectacular with views of the rockies, the St. Marys River, and all of the wildlife you could wish for - herds of elk, white tail and mule deer, bald eagles, hawks were all spotted on our rides. We were all confidant on our horses by week's end. It rained a few days during our stay and riding in the rain was just as majestic. Some days we rode as a family, and others we divided into different types of rides (kids ride, trotting, loping). Groups were small, never more than a handful of people combined which was great. Our kids enjoyed shooting and archery as well, and we enjoyed the trails for mountain biking a bit. People also enjoyed ebikes and hiking - but we preferred taking advantage of more riding. The clientele was a great mix of families, couples and singles and no one group felt left out of anything. They do an excellent job catering to everyone's needs. By the week's end, the kids had formed a "kids table" at meals to enjoy their new friendships. At the heart of this place are the wranglers, a group of 10 responsible for your riding and activities, the bar, and evening activities. They are all delightful and go out of their way to make your trip fun. They will join you for meals and we all enjoyed learning about them (many grew up on cattle farms in Australia). And 9 of 10 this year are young women - my kids (and us) thought they were amazing. For my city kids, it was really inspiring for them to have a view of a totally different lifestyle. All gems, Nat in particular was really lovely and patient with our youngest, and got our 12 year old son to dance the two step! Can't forget Cupcake, Rip and Finnegan, the dogs on the ranch that our kids were obsessed with - they are now begging for a dog (so that's great...). They are all also begging to go back next summer. It's not an inexpensive vacation, for sure, but we felt there was great value, we all learned something new, created great memories and felt very safe and well cared for. Couldn't be happier with our experience.

I would give more more stars if I could. This is a fabulous vacation and the Beckley family know what they are doing. Besides the beauty of the area, which was unfortunately marred a bit by the smoke, the ranch and its staff are the real jewels here. The horse back riding is fantastic with riding opportunities twice a day. There are plenty of horses on the ranch and they match you with one for the week. They do their best to match a horse to your skills and there are plenty of opportunities to trot and lope on the trails. There are so many trails with differing views you will never go on the same one twice unless you want to. The wranglers are AMAZING. They are so nice and accommodating and you can tell they love their job. The food is good and very tasty, with lots of choices. Healthy eating is not hard to do with veggies, salads, and/or fruit offered at all meals. On BBQ night I had the salmon, which was cooked to perfection and really delicious. House made cookies and desserts are great too. They have a full bar, and a nice selection of beer and wine. Whether you are a family or a couple or a bunch of friends, this is a fabulous vacation. There are other activities every day so if you do not want to ride you will have lots of other things to do. The river rafting was really fun. Or you can do nothing, it's great place for that too. We loved sitting out on our porch in the big comfy chairs. One of favorite things about this vacation was meeting great people from all over the world. They all felt like family by the last day. If a dude ranch is in your future, this is the place you want to go to.

My husband and I had the most incredible time here back in May! Everything was excellent: the friendly staff, the food, the scenery, the riding, the cabins! I cried leaving as it was a dream come true. Thank you so much for an amazing time, you guys know what you're doing! I bought several things from Dee's lovely shop so the only thing I wanted was a full length mirror in my cabin. This place is so good for the soul! We thoroughly enjoyed the riding and were cantering by day 3 which was so exciting and I felt so safe with the helpful and lovely wranglers.

We have visited guest ranches all over BC, Oregon and Montana and this one was a winner. The food was excellent. Our extended family group enjoyed every meal. Lots of variety and something for everyone. We loved the rafting and the kids and young adults enjoyed the group sports on the large lawn between the cabins and the lodge. There were some real competitors there during our week!! The horses that the ranch selected for us were all lovely and we were so sad to leave them. Make sure to talk to your wrangler about recommended rides, and remember the name of the rides you have been on, so you can make sure to get to all the rides you want to do. Two special mentions: 1. Wrangler Manny, who truly went above and beyond for us. He seemed to really care about our experience. He took photos and even made a video for us, he took us on some fantastic rides, he talked to our kids, and he respectfully let us know when it was time to shut the bar down. We would have kept going all night. Manny, thank you! 2. Reiner Kyle: Kyle taught western riding lessons to my daughters and husband. He was an absolute professional, and managed to be very funny, while teaching them fundamentals of western riding. If we had room, we would have left the ranch with a reining horse. I highly recommend Kyle's riding lessons. All in all, a really excellent, beautiful family vacation. Thanks Beckley Family!

Our stay at Three Bars Ranch exceeded all expectations. We are beginners on horseback and with help from the wranglers, we went from walking to trotting to loping all in one week while enjoying the breathtaking views. The experienced wranglers were amazing (all of them!), and the Beckley Family was so welcoming and ready to answer any question. In addition to horseback riding, we also enjoyed the white-water rafting, shooting, e-bikes, waterfall hike, and evening activities. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation.

I just got back. Easily a 5 star. Overall, they do a great job. Riding and other activities. Rooms were fine. Food was great. Spectacular views of the Canadian Rockies. I would certainly recommend if you are looking for a guest ranch vacation.

If you enjoy the great outdoors and horseback riding, this is an excellent place to take a vacation. Our hosts were accommodating, the wranglers wonderfully friendly, and the food was way too good. (The food is served buffet style so how much or how little you eat is up to you.) We enjoyed horseback riding, shooting skeets, trying our hand at shooting with a bow and arrow, and other activities. The trail rides were done in small groups which I really liked. I chose just to do morning rides, but afternoon rides were also available. The cabin I stayed in was very clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this ranch for a vacation.
