Located south of Calgary just to west of Highway 2 in the glorious Porcupine Hills west of Claresholm in south west Alberta. They are in the same area as a number of well known attractions such as the World Heritage Site " Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump", the Frank Slide and Kananaskis Country. This is a Working Ranch offering a number of varied packages throughout the summer. These will include shorter stays of 4 nights to give you a taster of the western life right up to an 11 night stay for those who just can't get enough Cowboying ! There will be three cattle drives in the spring, summer and autumn where yearlings are moved onto summer grazing, heifers are brought back to the main herd and then the autumn gather when a week is spent gathering up and bringing the herd home again. This ranch is a family-owned and run working ranch. The family enjoy meeting and introducing guests the world over to their western lifestyle. The owners and their family take pride in the historic ranch legacy that is depicted at the ranch. You will find a number of farm buildings some of which date back to the 1800s. In the main ranch house are two double guestrooms with shared bath and sitting room on a private floor. Alternatively guests may choose the rustic life in a turn of the century refurbished log bunkhouse known as the Pioneer Cabin. There are no bathroom facilities in this cabin so you are requested to use those in the ranch house. Decor in both reflects Lucasia's western flavour. There is a brand new log cabin with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and views out over the years and valley. Meals are home-cooked with ranch-raised beef & plenty of vegetables. Desserts are varied, homemade & delicious! Hearty ranch breakfasts are served every day. Guest conveniences also include TV, VCR with varied videos/DVDs, a wood burning fireplace and a horseshoe pit. After a day in the saddle, you can spend the evening beside a crackling campfire or relaxing on the deck. Taste the crystal clear spring water that flows through the ranch yard into a pond that is home to colourful ducks and geese. The ranch is home to a number of award winning Percheron draft mares and stallions.
