Getaway from the City: Reconnect With Nature

Book weekend getaway cabins with on of our many BearSpaw treatments, host your group event in our Group Lodge or wedding & reception in nature, bring your family for the day, park your RV or pitch a tent, bring your horses or dogs (we are pet friendly!), – whatever you choose we want you to relax from the daily grind by connecting with nature, interacting with our farm animals, and most importantly: have fun! checkout our Visitors Guide for everything you want to know.

After having a long day of a long day of outdoor fun in the sun (which lasts until 11pm in the summer) you take a shower and go to your pre-booked massage to relax. You enjoy a romantic evening under the stars or with your family roasting marshmallows over your campfire, while watching the northern lights come into view. Then you snuggle up in your cozy cabin for the night and wake up to a beautiful sunrise. You have your morning tea or coffee at our coffee bar and after fueling your body- you fuel your soul at our BearSpaw Holistic Market with a Reiki or SRT session. Make this story your reality by booking your stay today!

Current Events 2025 BearPaw Ranch

BearPaw Ranch always has something happening! Every month we have New Moon & Full Moon Ceremonies to release what no longer serves and invite in new manifestations. We host healing retreats and offer a variety of spiritual and holistic healing classes for Reiki & Access Bars as well.

A Decade of Community Support

Every year we host charity events & Craft Markets with games and activities for the whole family to raise money for our local community during the Summer and one in December at the DV Night Market in our off season. We think it’s important to give back to the wonderful community of Drayton Valley who has supported us for 10 years running as of April 2025 and we look forward to you joining us at any of our events, classes or retreats this year.
