Who We Are: Our family has been literally homesteading a wilderness dream. We moved into a simple log cabin 20 years ago and began working the land, while raising a family. Through the years many visitors have commented enviably about our lifestyle. We have had many requests from people wanting to help us move our cattle down to our range, help with the livestock, or just to spend time here fishing and relaxing. So in response, we have built log cabins and a lodge and look forward to meeting and making new friends as we share a piece of this unique lifestyle.

The Land: Our working cattle ranch and wilderness resort is the only property situated on the shores of Tatelkuz Lake, encompassing 750 acres of deeded land and 68,000 acres of rangeland complete with surrounding forests and clearings crisscrossed with hiking, riding and game trails. After a few minutes on horseback you will realize that you truly are in BC's wilderness.

Accommodations: Each of our well-appointed log cabins will sleep 6 and include full kitchens and bathrooms with showers. Our hand built log home, or main lodge, also has rooms available from single to double occupancy. Cabin guests can bring their own food and cook in their kitchen or they may prefer the service in our dining room at the lodge. Room service is available upon request. For those who prefer any or all meals in our family atmosphere we offer wholesome country cooking and lots of it. For cabin rates - click here.

The People: Your hosts are Barry and Marion Mills and family. Marion is the manager and (during off hours) can often be found in her art studio painting. The children, ranging from late-teens to mid-twenties, help with the stock chores and the many fun activities here. They are outgoing and friendly making the children of our guests feel welcome. Our competent staff are helpful and courteous.

The Horses: Tennessee Walking horses are considered the Cadillac of horses because of their smooth glide-ride. Their natures are gentle and quiet. We began using these horses years ago because of the long distances we ride down-range to check on the herd during summer grazing. Their smooth gait and ability to walk at 10km+ per hour made them the ideal trail horse. Any person can ride a 'Walker' because he/she doesn't have to fight to maintain his/her balance.

Our stallion is Major's Ultra Motion, out of Ultra's Major Threat, a great grand-son of Triple Threat and Midnight Sun, and a proven winner in shows in western Canada and the States. We sell our fillies because we cannot breed them back to the stallion so give us a shout if you're looking to purchase one. We will also consider trades for geldings.
