Lodging
Echo Valley is a generous hearth and home, offering gracious, light-filled guest suites; fresh, sumptuous gourmet cuisine; and a friendly family of staff eager to greet and serve you. Deluxe accommodation is available in the Dove Lodge, Look-Out Lodge or one of several charming, private log cabins. Two of the cabins, a Honeymoon Haven and the Ranch House cabin, are ideal for romantic hideaways or solitary retreat. For exceptional elegance and indulgence, inquire about the Royal Suite at Baan Thai--an architectural blend of East and West with its own private spa! High ceilings, steep windows, and richly carved teak appointments surround the Baan Thai guest with simple, tranquil beauty. A second story pavilion at Baan Thai overlooks 180 degrees of forested mountain valleys. It is a truly special experience! Amenities in all suites include King or Queen-size beds with natural down duvets, tasteful furniture & drapes, fine art and convenient en suite bathrooms. Every room features an inspiring view from your own private deck overlooking mountains, forest and prairie during the day and a peaceful expanse of star studded sky at night.
Activities
**Echo Valley Soft Adventure--Sitting amidst the breathtaking beauty of four distinct ecological biomes mountain forests, grass-covered prairies, marsh lands, and desert canyons - Echo Valley offers an extremely rare diversity of wildlife to explore and experience in the immediate vicinity. The ranch provides guided excursions into the surrounding terrain on foot, on horseback, by 4x4 or even by plane! (Ask about flight seeing tours.) You can take a raft trip down the Thompson River, canter on horseback across a mountain prairie, go fishing on Echo Valley's own private trout pond or even fly-in fishing landing on floats in the breathtaking seclusion of a Cariboo mountain lake! As an Echo Valley guest, you also have the freedom to roam, with miles of mapped and marked nature trails for hiking, mountain biking, birdwatching or snow shoeing and cross-country skiing in season. **Echo Valley Spa. By virtue of the unique cultural fusion of its staff family, Echo Valley treats its guests to an unusually broad array of therapies at its full service spa. Marrying the time-honored art of self-care in the East with the science of esthetics mastered in the West, the spa menu blends classic Western indulgences such as pore cleansing facials or detoxifying Moor Mud body wraps with ancient Thai therapies. Royal Thai treatments include herbal aromatherapy steam baths using Echo Valley's own proprietary blends of fresh, organic herbal infusions and the EV Spa signature therapy, traditional Thai massage!
Children
Children of all ages are welcome during Easter, Christmas and the annual Family Weeks, which run from July till August. Please read more about our Echo Valley Family Package and the children's program on our website. Also, if a family wishes to book the entire ranch for their own exclusive use there is no age minimum. Children over age 13 are welcome all year long.
Dining
Echo Valley Ranch & Spa offers fine dining with hearty meals created by their resident master chef. Gourmet food is expertly prepared in an open kitchen, using fresh, ranch grown produce and organic, ranch raised meats. When in season, even wild mushrooms, herbs and berries gathered from the surrounding forest are incorporated into the menu! **Special diets are given consideration, including vegetarian selections.
