This place is as close to PARADISE as it comes- majestic snow capped mountains, rocky cliffs, dappled meadows, gorgeous horses, bountiful bulls and an exotic blend of western and Thai architecture- strong but mellow. Thank you Norm & Nan for sharing your dream with us.

Thank you for turning this stressed out "city slicker" into a relaxed and 'easy going' country bumpkin. Your amazing staff have helped me fulfill a dream of riding western with at least some class! Echo Valley is a little bit of "Heaven on Earth" and I want to thank everyone I met, guests and staff, for making this the most enjoyable holiday ever. Thank you

We stopped here as a stop-over between Jasper and Whistler, but it has turned out to be the highlight of the vacation. It is so difficult to describe how wonderful this Oasis is. We are truly indebted to all the staff and the wonderful guests we have met who have contributed to making it a very, very memorable experience. We will be back!

Norm Dove and his wife, Thailand native Nan, have lovingly blended the adventurous spirit if the Old West and the peaceful wisdom of the East to create and eclectic "East meets-West" destination spa in Canada's famed Cariboo region.

This was the best honeymoon we could imagine. We felt like one big family - Thank you all for that! It was just perfect - the food, the scenery, the whole stay. We'll come back!

It's easy to understand their slogan: "East meets West." When you arrive, you immediately spot a peculiar structure resembling a Thai temple, this is all a part of the ultra-luxurious experience of Echo Valley Resort and Spa. This secluded dude ranch and spa, basking in the beauty of the Cariboo, offers a smorgasbord of activities from gold panning to white-water rafting to fly fishing and everything else in between.
