Nestled in the heart of British Columbia's stunning South Cariboo region, Montana Hill Guest Ranch isn't just a place to hang your hat – it's a gateway to living out your wildest Western dreams. Forget the everyday; here, the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves and the rich aroma of well-worn leather are your daily soundtrack. Whether you're a seasoned equestrian or a curious beginner, the magnificent horses of Montana Hill Guest Ranch are ready to steal the show and carry you through a landscape that whispers tales of the old West.


Meet the Soul of the Cariboo: Our Horses!


More than trail horses, we have a unique spirit and connection to this land. Take, for instance, Jaeger, a sturdy Quarter Horse with a gentle eye known for his calm demeanour on even the most adventurous guided trail rides. Or perhaps you'll be paired with Sundance, a graceful mare whose smooth gait makes even novice riders feel like seasoned pros. Carefully chosen and lovingly trained, these horses know every twist and turn of the ranch's sprawling open range across hundreds of acres of diverse terrain. Imagine traversing sun-drenched meadows bursting with vibrant wildflowers in the summer or winding through ancient pine forests where the air hangs crisp and clean. For experienced riders seeking exhilarating horseback riding in BC, the panoramic vistas from the higher trails are simply unforgettable.


New to the saddle? No worries at all! Our patient and passionate expert wranglers offer horseback riding lessons for all skill levels. From your first mounting to confidently trotting along the trails, they prioritize safety and build your confidence with genuine enthusiasm. You'll learn the fundamentals in a supportive environment, ensuring your beginner horseback-riding vacation is enjoyable and empowering.

Montana Hill Guest Ranch is where families reconnect with nature and each other. Watch your children's faces light up during gentle pony rides, creating precious memories as they bond with our friendly ponies in a safe and supervised setting. But the magic extends beyond the little ones. Imagine your family sharing stories around a crackling campfire after a day on the trails, the vast starlit sky as your backdrop.

Ask Al about his favourite riding trails or Elaine about her secret recipe for that mouthwatering cowboy burger – their stories and genuine warmth make this BC guest ranch so special.


Immerse Yourself in the Authentic Western Experience


The complete immersion in the Western Canadian vacation experience sets Montana Hill Guest Ranch apart. After a fulfilling day exploring the Cariboo on horseback, picture yourself returning to your private cabin, perhaps with a soothing hot tub, where you can unwind under a blanket of a million stars. And the day wouldn't be complete without savouring a hearty meal featuring tender, ranch-raised grass-fed beef, seasoned to perfection with their signature cowboy BBQ sauce – an authentic taste of rustic living done right.


Beyond the incredible riding, Montana Hill offers a chance to slow down, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and appreciate the natural world's simple beauty. You might spot deer grazing peacefully in the meadows or glimpse an eagle soaring overhead. Depending on the season, the landscape transforms, offering unique riding experiences from the lush greenery of summer to the golden hues of fall and even the serene beauty of a winter horseback riding vacation (if conditions allow!) or simply a snowmobile adventure. We have activities all year round.
