ABOUT THIS REGION  WILDLIFE WATCHING

View buffalo from a private vacation cottage

Enjoy the beauty of the Rocky Mountains from this fully self-contained vacation rental in the Blaeberry Valley. This guest cottage is located on a ranch near the town of Golden BC. Enjoy a unique and exciting family adventure, in a stunning landscape. With buffalo roaming you can leave behind the ordinary and step into something wild and new! The Canadian Rockies hold endless possibilities for fun and adventure. At this ranch you get a taste of wilderness with the comforts of home. As a guest you’ll have your own private vacation rental on the ranch. The cottage is located on a working buffalo ranch. The herd of buffalo (also called bison) live side by side with elk, wolf, and mountain lion, among other wild animals that winter on and pass through the ranch. As a guest you get to get close and personal with these animals. You’ll be most impressed by “Chester” our 2400 lb. bull sire. He’s a character nobody forgets! Calving season is in late spring, just about the time dandelion flowers are covering the pastures. The ranch hosts a yearly festival event around this time for the “Golden Spring to Life Festival”. It’s not unusual to catch a birth in process at this time of year, and it’s quite a joy to see those little buffalo running around when they figure out they have powerful little legs. If you visit in the winter you’ll see an animal built for Canadian winters! With woolly winter coats, icicles hanging off their faces at times, and steamy breath it’s a whole different picture from summer but you’ll find it a testament to the hardiness of this ancient creature.
