A friend and I have been coming out to Western Pleasure Guest Ranch this winter for the Cross Country Skiing and just love the location. The trails have been well groomed and the views from the trails are spectacular. But we got something that we didn't expect and that was the great friendship of the staff at the guest ranch.... More

We had the most incredible day of cross country skiing at Western Pleasure Ranch. It was a glorious, sunny day when we arrived at this beautiful setting in the wilderness. We met friendly "grandma" Janice who was babysitting her two grandchildren in the spectacular lodge. She answered all of our questions and allowed us to check out one of the... More

We are impromptu travelers and often travel without much in the way of advance reservations. On a recent trip back to Seattle from Montana we decided we wanted to spend a couple of days in beautiful Northern Idaho. We found the Western Pleasure Guest Ranch on line and were lucky enough to score one of the sweet log cabins on... More

An active stay at Western Pleasure is an incredible experience. The accommodations are surpassed only by wonderful common areas of the lodge building. The meals (three squares a day, including the Tuesday night boat cruise on Lake Pend Orielle) were varied and excellent. This was my first horseback riding in many, many years. The instruction was perfect for my level,... More

I just got married here and I can not describe how beautiful this place is! Not to mention the staff is great! Janice always promptly returned my calls when I had questions while I was planning. The whole staff was very friendly! The night before my wedding and morning of it was raining really hard and Janice and her staff... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3-night stay here. From the accommodations to the horse riding instruction to the food, the owners of this ranch, Janice and RoleIy, know what they're doing. It was a quality experience, one we will never forget. The ranch is pretty remote and somewhat rustic, with classic lodge and cabin architecture. Yet the cabin we stayed in... More

My 1 1/2 year old daughter, my 80 year old grandmother and I came for the Steinborn/Eich wedding the weekend of July 13 - 15 and had a wonderful time. We stayed in Grandpas room, we had plenty of space easy access to the play yard for the kids and the large grass space outside. Our room was beautifully tucked... More

Why do we go back every year? Because this is a beautiful place with friendly people who work very hard to make sure our group (aged 2 to 72) all have excellent horses, great food and fun activities at an affordable price. Whether you enjoy a comfortable trail ride with stunning scenery or more challenging ring work with western arena... More

My husband and I stayed here for 3 days in August on our way to Glacier, and it was so much fun. I am a horse lover, and seeing the herd in action each morning as they run up to the barn was really a beautiful sight. The grounds are gorgeous, and the lodging is top notch log cabin-style, and... More
