A small group of us enjoyed staying at 7 1/2 Diamond Ranch, June 2022. Had good rides, appreciated the nice big corrals for the horses, a great place to hang out with friends. Jim and Heather are very welcoming hosts.

June 16th/21 Nice large corrals and beautiful scenic trails around many small lakes. It was lovely to have a hotwater shower and hang out in the cowboy Saloon

Went in 4th week of Sept - always a joy to go. Jim has created a large colour map that is easy to use and has marked the trails that are close to the ranch. Hot showers are always a treat and the price is right. The pens are very large at the horse camp. We left early due to rain, but could have easily found a few more days of riding. Came home via Princeton and Hwy 3 - it is much improved and a nice drive. Stopped for a short rest at Manning Equine campsite. Made it to the Fraser Valley in 3.5 hours and Horseshoe Bay ferry in heavy rain 4.5 hours (80km drive speed in rain).

Very pretty ranch with big corrals and splendid showers! Rough map provided with mostly easy to follow trails on ranch, off ranch are cow trails and old logging roads - backcountry map book app useful. Views are scenic similar to Lundbom. Cabins look cozy and are duplex style. For camping there are no "sites" per say with picnic tables. Some of the lakes are marshy shored and require a bucket for you to get water while out on the trail.
