On the Shore of the Bow River ~ On the Old Trails Leading into the Canadian Rockies ~ 80 Years of Guest Ranching Tradition

In 1923 Missy Bagley Brewster opened the Kananaskis Guest Ranch to guests from around the world. She decided that the original Brewster Family homestead located on the shores of the Bow River would be the perfect location to continue a guest ranching tradition originally started in Montana.

Today the setting is as it was, and guests can still experience the family tradition of Western Hospitality. As in the 1920's guests enjoy Horseback Rides along the Bow River and Overnight Pack Trips. Golf, River Rafting, Hiking, Group Voyageur Canoe Trips, and Fishing Excursions are now additional Guest Ranch activities. We also offer: Wedding, Conference, Western Barbecue, and Rodeo Packages.

Kananaskis Guest Ranch is open July and August for Individual Guest Bookings and June through September for groups of 15 or more people. The Brewster Family welcomes you with warm, Western Hospitality!

Located only 45 minutes west of Calgary, the Kananaskis Guest Ranch is perfect for retreats and get-away conferences. Quiet surroundings, privacy, and an atmosphere that is truly engaging, provide Meeting Groups with a relaxing, yet resourceful stay.

Our Meeting Facilities, on the Bow River, hold Groups of up to 50 members. For your Meeting, presentation aids from flipcharts to audio visual equipment are included. Coffee Breaks and Luncheons are also included as part of your conference package. Break-Out Rooms are available and large groups up to 200 people use our famous "Donut" Tent facilities for Meetings.

The Guest Ranch has Cabin and Chalet accommodation all with private shower and bath combinations, antique furnishings, cedar interiors, and daily maid service. The Cabins and Chalets located on the Bow River, are just walking distance from the Meeting facilities and provide comfortable accommodation for retreat conferences.

To discuss special arrangements for your Meeting, please contact us. We look forward to extending the Brewster Tradition of Western Hospitality to your Group.
