BC Guest Ranch Comments for 1998

• Thank you so much for an exceptionally wonderful time! It was much more than we ever expected. The horses & trails were great, the accommodations and food magnificent & the scenery awe-inspiring. But the best part was all the wonderful people! Everyone is so nice you feel like a true guest. Hope it’s not too long before we can come back.
  Joanie & Peter Tiernan, CA. USA

• Thank you so much for making this part of our trip to B.C. so enjoyable, and memorable. The rides, the food, the lodge, the massages and other spa facilities were all first class, but most of all the warmth and friendship of everyone here is something special. Thanks again.
  Johnny and Liesl Craig Scotland

• Of all the many retreats I have visited in the USA and Canada this is definitely tops. Fantastic drive on the Fraser River – great guiding Norm. The riding and loping kept me awake on a perfect sunny day. There is so much to do and see. Wish I had more time, but it was a great taste of all that you offer. Speaking of taste – the food was superb.

• I have been to several guest ranches but never been to such a first class ranch such as yours. You have thought of all the details and that separates you from the rest of the crowd. The intimate group setting and gorgeous countryside has us longing to come back. Thank you.

• Many thanks for a wonderful stay in your Canadian Shangri-La. All the best to you and your excellent staff.

• What a fabulous place – we only sorry we could not stay longer. There could not be a better end to our Honeymoon - it doesn’t get better than this!! Thank you
  Debbie & Gary Potter, England

• It’s been a wonderful few days – sadly far too few. I shall think of you all, and the dogs and cats and wonderful setting back in the big city. Thank you for making us so welcome, for the feeling we are staying with you all as friends, not as guest, and for your generosity and kindness. I shall be back – soon please! Love

• I have had a vacation to remember. I came here completely stressed and I am leaving completely relaxed. The horseback riding experience was indescribable. All of the people that I have met here have been friendly and helpful. The wranglers managed to increase my level of confidence and give me a sense of accomplishment. The spa treatments were wonderful and the food was the best. If I were to list the names of all the people who made this my best vacation I would have to list the entire staff. Thanks!

• My God, what a nice place! It has been so nice to live here for 4 days! The landscapes are breathtaking, all the staff very friendly, the activities so different and the atmosphere so pleasant! I would like to live here forever!! Many thanks to all of you.

• Thanks so much for a fantastic interlude. It was the perfect setting for our family reunion. The staff couldn't have been more gracious and the scenery more perfect.
  The Ausberg family, CT. USA

• Well, this was a honeymoon to remember! When Richard showed me the brochure of EV in the airport I thought it looked too good to be true – but it wasn’t. We had an absolutely lovely time which was due to a fantastic group of staff, amazing food and a beautiful setting. We’ll be back – but next time en masse with both our families – watch out!! Best Wishes
  Lesly & Richard Woods, England

• Adjusting to our ever changing schedule was handled miraculously! Thank you to the ENTIRE STAFF Much Enjoyed
  John Hanlon, Trinet Group, USA

• The last four days at your ranch have surpassed all my expectations – the view, facilities, staff, activities…Wonderful! You have created an excellent getaway, a slice of real life for us city dwellers. Your hospitality has been stupendous and I thank you for allowing our group to experience the beauty of this area.
