about us

Experience North Idaho and Sandpoint by visiting this authentic family owned and operated guest ranch. In 1940, Grandpa Riley Wood was drawn to this country by its beauty and resources. Over sixty years later the ranch remains in the same family and now we invite you to follow in Grandpa's foot steps and experience this Idaho Gem for yourself. On that cold winter day when Grandpa came to Sandpoint he was greeted by a cold, dreary, one room cabin, we at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch have something much better in store for you. Our 10,000 sq ft. lodge, hewn from local timer features six spacious guest rooms, each with private bath. You will find the atmosphere just right for quiet reflection in the cozy, natural-light loft while the children enjoy the rec room below, featuring a pool table and TV, or enjoy the warmth of the river rock fireplace in the large open greatroom. Modern log cabins in secluded settings amongst tall timber will provide you with peace and serenity. A variety of activities are waiting right out your front door. Saddle up for some good ol fashioned fun as you ride along the ridges and valleys of this fourth-generation cattle ranch. Your hosts have proudly maintained and preserved their ranchland which is surrounded by the beautiful, timbered Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains. As North Idaho is transformed by a blanket of white, let our ''gentle giants'' treat you to a horse-drawn sleigh ride or indulge in cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or downhill sledding. After visiting our ranch you may never want to leave!
