Just like a storybook at Echo Valley Ranch & Spa

The snowy rolling hills of the Cariboo are captivating in winter. Take guided nature walks, cross country ski on the track set loop and return back to the main lodge for a delicious home cooked meal. Enjoy the pool, sauna and games room. But most of all, it is dazzling stars that will take your breath away as you bundle up in your super cozy accommodation. Wake up the next morning and do it all over again. More details here.
