Welcome to Pend d’Oreille River Ranch, a beautiful 320-acre off-grid working ranch in the West Kootenays, near Salmo and the Nelway border crossing. Our vision for this land is to offer a place of sanctuary, rest, education and meaningful connection—for people, animals and the natural world. Life can be busy and noisy, and we believe there is something deeply restorative about stepping away from modern distractions and returning to a slower rhythm. With no cell service, limited Wi-Fi and very little artificial light, this is a place to unplug, breathe deeply and “free your mind and feed your soul.” The ranch is home to forests, open pastures, wetlands, creeks and a beautiful private lake. Guests may see deer, elk, moose, beavers, painted turtles and many species of birds, including bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, owls, ducks and seasonal swans. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but nature is always close here. Spend your days walking our trails, exploring the forest, birdwatching, enjoying the dock, relaxing in a hammock, photographing wildflowers, forest bathing or simply sitting quietly beside the water. At night, gather around the fire when conditions allow and look up—the lack of city lights makes for incredible stargazing. You will also be staying on a real working regenerative farm. Depending on the season, you may see cattle grazing, pigs rooting, sheep in the pasture, poultry wandering and livestock guardian dogs doing their jobs. Guided farm tours and other farm experiences may be available to book separately. Our accommodations are nestled in nature near the lake, with peaceful views and frequent visits from birds and wildlife. This is not a polished resort experience. It is rural, rustic and genuinely off-grid. Guests should expect uneven ground, insects, changing weather, farm sounds, occasional machinery and the everyday activity that comes with caring for land and livestock. Come prepared to slow down, get a little dusty and experience the beauty of farm life, wild spaces and true quiet. We look forward to sharing this special piece of the West Kootenays with you.

Unforgettable Escape

Walltent Lakeside With A View!

Our stay at Shauntelle's Farm was truly magical, offering an amazing setup amidst nature that exceeded our expectations. The tent was lovely, providing a cozy and comfortable retreat. The fact that only one tent is rented out meant we had the entire area to ourselves. The tent is right next to a private lake, really a serene spot where we enjoyed swimming and relaxing. The tranquility of having our own lake and being absolutely immersed in nature was unparalleled. Additionally, the nearby waterfalls and river provided fantastic opportunities for more swimming and exploring the natural beauty of the area. The farm is right on the US border, which was quite fun. The outdoor kitchen was great, fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare delicious meals. The campfire area was perfect for evenings, allowing us to unwind and enjoy the peaceful ambiance. Shauntelle and her family were super friendly and welcoming. They made sure we had everything we needed and provided excellent recommendations for nearby activities. Their hospitality added a special touch to our stay. Our stay at Shauntelle's Farm Stay was an unforgettable escape. The lovely tent, stunning natural setting, and friendly hosts made for a perfect retreat.
