I was at the ranch for 4 days. The rooms are simple and functional. The staff are super nice and always helpful. The restaurant was still closed and I catered for myself. For this I was brought extra a hot plate and pots. Jenna, the manager and my guide for the rides is super and explained me a lot about the landscape. The horses are very well ridden and treated well. I had a lot of fun.

I loved this place! It was wonderful seeing all the horses. Our leader, Sarah (sorry I might have her name incorrect) for the trail ride was great! Highly recommend this ranch. Beautiful setting and scenery all around.

Sundance Ranch is a highlight of our summer! We have great sleeps from all the fresh air and the beds are super comfortable. The rides are truly stunning, friendly and knowledgeable wranglers, and happy horses. For non riders, the facilities are lovely - a rec rooms with old school video games and pool, plus and an another rec room with a cozy fireplace just for us adults to relax in. The pool is fabulous for a soak after long rides. Finally, the food is absolutely delicious - even the vegetarian options which are full-on separate meals and not just extra helpings of the sides.

Three Bars is the best place on the planet (if you are into mountains and horses). The Beckley family is always terrific and welcoming. The wranglers personable and fun. Accommodations perfect. And the horses are truly outstanding (and I’ve been riding for 40+ years). If you want the vacation of a life time and like to ride (or golf, etc.), visit Three Bars!!

Elise and her staff went put of their way to make our weekend absolutely incredible. The food was fantastic, but the experience was unlike anything else we'd done. Great was to disconnect and just enjoy the space. Hiking, biking and horseback riding are all great ways to explore.

Such a beautiful place to visit, a very remote location that is perfect for a weekend getaway from the everyday hustle. The breakfast was nicely presented, and included a healthy heaping of cold cuts, fruit, eggs and of course delicious bacon. Also the husband and wife team taking care of the place are very friendly, and overly helpful. I will be happy to visit again anytime.

I stayed at a different ranch that ended up being a bad experience where they said they couldn't take my 14 and 16 yr old kids and self on a trail ride-we booked 4 nights there... I sent an email to Free Rein Ranch and she got us in that afternoon. There was excellent riding instruction and a very scenic ride through the forest-saw a few deer. Everyone we interacted with were genuine and warm. It elevated my experience of the Bridge Lake region, and would book here next time. The facility looks clean and well run.

Would highly recommend this place. Just went on the one hour 11 AM morning ride and was greeted by the lovely Diane. My husband and I rode ginger and prince they are very mild mannered horses . It was very relaxing and safe during the entire trail ride. The scenery is absolutely beautiful as you wind along Spring Lake near hayfields, birch trees , daisies and then into a beautiful forest and back again. The cost also surprised me as its very low and super affordable. What a wonderful place to do a ride. Definitely a must in the cariboo.

Just came back from an amazing week at Three Bars. My 8 y.o. and 11 y.o. voted it best family vacation ever. The setting is spectacular, the staff are so friendly and encouraging and the food was yummy. And the daily rides were amazing. You don't have to be an experienced rider to enjoy the ranch -- my husband had never ridden a horse before and did great. The other thing we really liked is there was no pressure at all -- if you want a day off, no problem. Want a second ride in the afternoon, no problem. Overall, this will be a vacation we will have special lifetime memories from.
