All-Inclusive Luxury Dude Ranch—'Siwash Lake Wilderness resort'—BC
Siwash is a small, eco-friendly retreat in BC's remote interior. Known for almost two decades as a top luxury wilderness resort and authentic family guest ranch, Siwash is among Canada's finest. This National Geographic honoured property is legendary for five-star, all-inclusive wilderness lodge adventures and horseback riding. Siwash Lake is ideally located halfway between the magnificent Rocky Mountains and Vancouver, British Columbia.
In 2017, our beloved Siwash was hit by a most aggressive wildfire. An epic fight ensued. With the help of a brave and loyal team, we saved the core of the operation. Although our landscape is battle scarred, and some of our signature structures succumbed to the flames, the heart and soul of Siwash prevails.
Our sacred places on the range survived—river swimming spots, waterfalls, and rolling meadows for canters on horseback—now they are glorious havens of green amid a striking, black forest. The Ranch itself has become a powerful oasis where resident wildlife seek sanction. In the spirit of renewal following a forest fire, we forge forward to share our story with guests from around the world, while taking our offerings of adventure to a newfound high.
November 2017We still specialize in high energy, multi-generation getaways, 'off-the-grid' family holidays, and small, exclusive, executive retreats for a gathering of C-suite colleagues—meticulously orchestrated within a natural, peaceful paradise.
By Nature, this boutique resort is small, personal and sophisticated; beckoning to discerning, active travelers who seek authenticity, a commitment to sustainability, and impactful, life-enriching experiences.
Amid the world's high-end resorts and ranches, Siwash has been described as the wild card, resplendent as a rare, rough-cut gem. We offer charming and lovingly-tended facilities; 10,000 acres of raw wilderness; and an honest, home-spun collection of adventures that are educational in Nature and crafted with exquisite attention to detail.
It's all delivered very personally, from the heart, by a world-class staff striving for service excellence. Experience true SiwashSynergy™—a refreshingly unique vacation destination for those who travel beyond the ordinary.
