Riding your horse through a snowy or flower-flocked meadow, the blue-tinged mountains are so close you can almost reach out and touch them. As you arrive at a dramatic clearing, the Idaho wilderness stretches out before you and you dismount to find a hot country meal sizzling over an open charcoal fire. That night, you settle down to the warm and rustic pleasures of a remote log cabin tucked amongst the trees, a toasty fireplace keeping the season’s chill at bay. A soak in the hot tub… a comfy reading chair… and a row of windows looking out over some of the most spectacular scenery Northern Idaho has to offer…If your idea of the perfect getaway is unplugging, unwinding, and indulging in the true Western experience while immersed in the beauty of Idaho’s great outdoors, this is one gem you’ll need to see for yourself.
Tucked away near Sandpoint on over 900 acres of lush green pastures, towering pines and breathtaking views of the Selkirk and Cabinet mountain surround the Western Pleasure Guest Ranch like a panoramic throw.
Here, you can take a guided trail ride through dewy, native meadows, confident at the hands of wranglers who've spent their entire lives on the family-owned ranch.
Cozy cabins of every size dot the ranch, allowing the perfect blend of privacy, views, and interaction with other guests--if you want to, that is--as you prepare to tuck in for the night.
A 3rd and 4th generation family ranch, the granchildren of the original owners host visitors wanting to explore the trails and Idaho's rugged rural beauty via horseback and in rustic luxury. The owners serve around the ranch and interact with guests as they dine and play on the expansive grounds, but around every corner are handmade touches, mementos, and family heirlooms to warm up the space.
In fact, every quilt on the ranch was handmade by grandma Wood herself.
But no matter how you choose to spend your stay at one of Idaho's best and most luxuriously rustic guest ranches, be sure to take a minute to enjoy the open starry skies of Northern Idaho!
If so, you can find the Western Pleasure Guest Ranch at 1413 Upper Gold Creek Rd. Sandpoint, ID 83864.
