FULL DESCRIPTION OF LISTING
The Ranch — Located just 1.5 hours south of the city of Calgary, along Highway #2, in the heart of ranch country, lies Willow Lane Ranch. This is where the rolling foothills meet the Rocky Mountains and the stress of city life just seems to fade away.
Come join your hosts on a real working cattle and horse ranch and learn all about western Canadian hospitality.
The Experience — Keith and LeAnne Lane look forward to the arrival of each guest knowing that your experiences will go a long way to telling the story of Canada's proud cowboy heritage.
This is not a dude ranch, where trail riding is the main objective, but a working ranch. These folks are cowboys ... they know the country; they know cattle; they understand the Cow Horse and they are willing to share this knowledge, experience & way of life with you.
The Lane's have opened the gates of their ranch to visitors, inviting guests to ride along with them, while they perform their daily chores. You can count on personalized service, gentle horses and a complete supply of tack; riding boots are required, slickers are recommended.
Visitors marvel at the vastness, the stark beauty and the diversity of landscape that Willow Lane offers. For those who have never experienced farm or ranch life or are wanting to reacquaint themselves with their roots… this is time spent as they say… back to the future … a time of rejuvenation, a time of re-discovery. Deadlines, traffic & voice mail are all very far away.

Dining:
Wake up to a new beginning — Each morning guests are greeted by LeAnne who serves a hearty ranch-style breakfast. Wake up to the smell of coffee brewing, hear the bacon and eggs sizzling in the kitchen. Come down to breakfast with the Lane family - the warmth of easy conversation and laughter will draw you close around the table.
Meals are always a highlight at Willow Lane. The ranch raised beef, fresh produce, and scrumptious home-made baking always keeps guests anticipating their next meal. Don't expect to diet here! Seems the fresh air, ranch activities, and different pace (relaxation) take the appetite to a new dimension.
Entertainment:
After hours, guests often gather around the campfire or indoors in the family room, around the piano or TV and VCR. Stories are traded, experiences embellished and it is not uncommon for a song or two to be heard, as the Lane's entertain guests and encourage them to join in on a session or two. A library and board games are available also. Outside a cedar hot tub completes the picture of a great way to cool your heels before climbing into the rack for one of the best and well earned sleeps you have ever had.
