Siwash Lake Luxury Wilderness Resort and Guest Ranch

In 2017, our beloved Siwash Lake was hit by a most aggressive forest fire. An epic fight ensued. With the help of a small, yet brave and loyal team, we fought hard and saved the core of the operation. The heart and soul of Siwash prevails. Now the place is nestled within a very rare and enchanting post-wildfire ecosystem. As such, Siwash Lake Wilderness Resort offers guests an incredibly unique wilderness vacation. This upscale, immersive, National Geographic travel experience is unrivaled elsewhere on Earth.

Our sacred places on the range survived the wildfire—secluded backcountry rivers, lush waterfalls, and rolling meadows for canters on horseback—now they are glorious havens of green amid a striking, ebony-hued forest. The Ranch itself has become a powerful oasis where resident wildlife seek sanction. In the spirit of renewal that follows a wildfire, we forge ahead to share our incredible story with guests from around the globe, while elevating our personal service and eco adventure experiences to a newfound high.
