One word. Ahhhhmazing…read more Best life experience. I'm so glad I decided to do this "dude ranch experience" with my daughter and at Bullhill. Wranglers are so "friendly and attentive "to your needs and always asking what you want to do and what kind of ride. We did a cattle drive one day with sweeping views of the valley and river as we went down and up the mountain. You start your day with a fabulous four course breakfast includes home baked cinnamon rolls! Set out and guess what " 4 course choice hot lunch as well as brownies and cookies for desert is waiting for you when you get home! Crazy wonderful. Our cabin was rustic yet so cozy and clean. Sat on the porch to read. Happy hour before dinner with more sweeping views . Family owned and just wonderful. Hope to return.

A Diamond in the Rough! If you want to take your children or…read moregrandchildren to a "real" ranch, K-Diamond-K is the place to go ! The ranch was founded by hard-working Stephen & veterinarian June Konz in 1961. The present gorgeous large log cabin lodge and all its furniture was self-built by the Konz family between 2000-2008, and is now run by their eldest daughter Kathy (Konz) McKay, husband Brian McKay, and son Stephen McKay. This is the real deal when it comes to western ranches. They raise their own longhorn cattle. You couldn't ask for more ! My wife and I took two of our grandchildren to the ranch planning to spend three days from Thursday, July 31st 2025 to Sunday August 3rd 2025, and ended up extending our stay to August 4, 2025 because our grandchildren had so much fun. What can kids do at K-Diamond-K ? Read the signs and look at the pictures included with this review. This is "real" ranch life with a host that is brimming with smiles and spirit. Kids can rise at 7 am (Don't worry, your excited kids will be waking you up !) to feed the baby animals and gather some fresh eggs from the chicken coop. Then they can accompany owner, Kathy, on her ATV to the ranch's lower valley to milk Kathy's cow Rosebud. Rosebud delivers 3 gallons of milk every morning and every evening, and you will become an expert milker after a short time. Then around 7:30 am, the kids can accompany Kathy on her ATV to round up the ranch's ~50 horses that have been grazing in the lower valley overnight and herd them back to the corral by the lodge. Breakfast is served at 8 am. After breakfast, your kids can brush and love-on a horse and go for a horseback ride on the ranch's 1,600-acre property at 9:30 am or enjoy a completely different ranch activity. Lunch is served at 12:30 pm. Each day is spent doing "exactly what you want to do". The ranch has all the facilities and gear you need for any activity you desire (riding boots, hats, gloves, ropes for roping, biking, fishing, archery, a pickle ball court and a basketball hoop, or just plain relaxing on one of the ranch decks, or on the front lawn lounge chairs). You get three delicious meals a day and will never be hungry. Kathy, cook Chloe, and wranglers Madeleine and Evelyne truly worked as a team during our visit. By the way, the cream in your coffee and the ice cream dessert you enjoy at meal time all come from Rosebud ! So, if you haven't made ice cream before, you can see how its done ! Our grandchildren immediately loved feeding the miniature pigs, milking Rosebud twice a day (they had never milked a cow before), and accompanying Kathy on her daily ritual of herding the horses to the corral in the morning and back to the valley in the evening. They also very much enjoyed the large outdoor trampoline in front of the lodge. We went horseback riding, fishing at Swan Lake, visited the ranch's abandoned gold mine, panned for gold, spent time in the petting zoo, and enjoyed mountain biking. We also played many fun games in the lodge. The kids particularly liked scrabble and the foosball and air hockey tables in the basement. Every evening after dinner, the kids would go to the outdoor trampoline, play games, and sit around the large outdoor campfire to make smore and identify the planets and constellations with the help of our phone's "Skyview" app. Our grandchildren also made some new friends at the ranch and exchanged emails with them to hopefully see them again on a future visit !

We came as a large group during a lull part of the year and allowed to take double rooms as…read moresingles. Halfway thru our stay another large group came without reservations and wanted to stay, we were asked to go back to the original room assignments which we did. During our stay, food was mediocre at best, as the weeks progressed, less and less of it was cooked at dinner time, good choices decreased. At check out time, the owner then decided that the negotiated price for the stay was not enough and tried to raise our final payment. This due to the fact that for half our stay we used twice the rooms. The main hall was dusty and there were a lot of flies. Garbage cans were rarely emptied. Disgusting place. I did notice that Yelp deleted my original review of this dump so I had to post again.

I can't imagine a better place to stay in Nelson…read more Everything about this guest house was amazing. From start (booking process) to check out. Maria, the owner went out of her way to accommodate and was a pleasure to deal with. I stayed in the Kokanee Suite while in Nelson visiting my son. Walking distance to all the sights and restaurants downtown. Skylights. Beautiful view of the water from the porch. Fully equipped kitchen with local coffee provided. Comphy bed. Warm lighting and homey comfortable decorating. The piece de resistance for me was the deep claw foot bathtub .... bubble baths after a day of hiking ... yes please! Can't wait to return!!

A beautiful house in a great location, Private, quiet, clean and relaxing environment, well-kept and close to everything. It has everything you need with all the amenities. The suite was awesome, absolutely adorable, good view to the lake and mountains, and cheerful decor. The bed is excellent, as good as in any five stars hotel, the bathroom is equipped with hair dryer, shampoo, soaps and luscious towels. It really exceeded my expectations. Great attention to detail, recycling carefully planned and well communicated. The entire stay has been a pleasure. I felt at home here.

I researched the property ahead of time & highly recommend booking directly from their site. This way you're communicating directly with the owner (Jenelle, who was super sweet & accommodating) and bypassing a 3rd party vendor. The Rigley Room was perfect for my daughter and me, and the bed was SO comfortable! I knew in advance that the daily breakfast offering would be vegan so I went in with an open mind & was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was on all 3 days! (I now subscribe to Jenelle's recipes). Highly recommend and can't wait to return next year!
