If you want an authentic Western experience, then Western Pleasure Ranch might well be the one for you. This ranch promises an experience tailor-made to suit every guest, with horseback riding as the main activity. Whether you’d rather kick back and relax or get out there and try things like moving cattle, the choice is entirely up to the guests.
Western Pleasure Ranch offers a more intimate setting than other Idaho dude ranches. There are half a dozen rooms within the Grand Lodge or four cabins you can stay in. Shared spaces include the great room, the lodge loft, and the recreation room.
An outdoor hot tub off the wrap-around deck also gives travelers somewhere to truly unwind. Facilities feature a children’s playground, a horseshoe game on the lawn, and a basketball court, and you can always visit the nearby falls for swimming.
Western Pleasure Ranch is situated northwest of Sandpoint. There are all-inclusive programs for families with youth horseback riding packages and adults-only options in the summer. In the winter, book a cabin or stay on a bed and breakfast basis, taking part in the likes of wagon and sleigh rides or following Nordic trails when the snow falls.
