Nestled among pristine lakes and surrounded by breathtaking Canadian wilderness, our small family-owned ranch is more than just a getaway—it's a sustainable sanctuary. Here's how we're keeping our slice of paradise natural for generations to come
The Log Cabin Life: Building with Nature, Not Against It
When you first arrive at Beaver Guest Ranch, you'll notice something immediately—everything blends with the landscape. That's no accident! Our ranch buildings are primarily constructed from wood, creating that authentic log cabin experience while using natural, renewable materials.
Inside your cozy accommodation, you'll sink into beds dressed with soft cotton linens and wrap yourself in pure cotton towels after a day of adventure. Small choices that make a big difference for both comfort and our planet.
"We believe luxury doesn't have to come at nature's expense. Sometimes the simplest things—like water straight from our natural spring—create the most memorable experiences."
From Forest to Fork: Eating Local in the Cariboo
There's nothing quite like sitting down to a meal where you can practically trace each ingredient back to its source. At our "The Hungry Beaver" restaurant, that's exactly what you'll experience:
Morning eggs collected from local farms
Seasonal vegetables grown in nearby gardens
Ethically-raised meats from regional producers
Fresh herbs that often make their way from our garden to your plate within hours
Whether you're joining us for German night, barbecue feasts, or taco celebrations (Friday through Sunday), you're tasting the authentic Cariboo region while supporting local producers and reducing food miles.
Adventures That Leave No Trace
What's the point of enjoying nature if we're harming it in the process? Our activities are designed with minimal environmental impact in mind:
🐎 Horseback riding along quiet forest trails
🛶 Canoeing on crystal-clear Deka Lake
🚲 Mountain biking through scenic wilderness paths
🎣 Fishing at spectacular Sulphurous Lake (with provided equipment)
Each adventure brings you closer to nature without disturbing its delicate balance. Our well-trained horses are friendly partners in exploration, and our fishing practices respect local ecosystems.
Behind the Scenes: Little Green Choices
Some of our most important environmental efforts happen where you might not even notice:
Bright ideas: Energy-efficient LED lighting throughout the ranch
Clean and green: Natural cleaning with vinegar and baking soda instead of harsh chemicals
Waste not: Reusing bottles and containers to minimize what goes to landfill
Plastic-free quest: Eliminating unnecessary plastic wherever possible
Pure refreshment: Untreated spring water without chlorine or additives
