There are so many of them all over the west both in the USA and in Canada to choose from. And being that I like a little luxury with a dash of yoga thrown in, I thought I’d turn you on to this absolutely delicious ranch just outside of Vancouver, Canada – The Echo Valley Ranch & Spa.
They are used to have groups up there and if you come in the summer time the activities and sheer beauty of the place will leave you breathless. Plus if you are from the US the exchange rate with the Canadian dollar is in your favor – at least at the time of me writing this it is.
If you’re in need of rejuvenation therapy – they have a wicked delicious Thai spa where they specialize in a variety of Thai massages and facials along with western style therapies. Personally – I’d sign up for the Thai Herbal Body Glow Wellness Wrap – a two hour exfoliation, sesame oil, scrub and hot wrap that will put you in horse heaven.
Norm and Nan the owners take great pride in their organic gardens and sourcing local foods. They grow berries, mushrooms, vegetables and seasonal fruits. The herb garden is an aromatic pleasure to explore. They also raise their own cattle, pigs, turkey and chickens. Cooking classes are available too!
As they mention on their website: “Tuesday and Friday night summer barbecues are all about the flavours of the wild west: rosemary roasted lamb, slow-baked salmon, baked potatoes, barbecued beef, burgers and hot-dogs, and always a vegetarian option. ”
On Thursday nights the Thai staff creates a meal as authentic as you would get in Thailand and they follow that up with Thai dancing that everyone can have fun getting involved with. They want to make you feel like part of their family in every sense of the word.
