Spring Specials
February 8th, 2010
Although we are in the midst of winter, you’d never believe it here at the ranch. We are experiencing the warmest winter on record and instead of the fields of snow that I usually see this time of year, everything is bare. This warmer weather brought our thoughts here to Spring at the ranch and we wanted to let you know about some great special offers we have.
Spring Specials
We are now offering reduced rates on all dates in May & June. These savings represent around 15% off our usual summer rates. For further details, check our website.
Note On Taxes & How To Save
The BC Government recently announced some tax changes which will affect travellers to BC after 1st July 2010. The current tax rate for ranch stays is 6.2% and this will increase to 12% for all bookings from 1st July. However, if you have already booked, or were planning your ranch vacation after 1st July, there is an opportunity to avoid this increase. Simply book and pay in full prior to 1st May 2010 and you will only be charged the current tax rate of 6.2%. Contact Tracey for further details.
Free Transfers from Kamloops
We are delighted to announce that we are now offering free transfers to and from Kamloops at the start and end of your vacation. We will pick you up or drop you off at Kamloops Airport, Greyhound Bus Station or any downtown hotel/motel. Just let us know your travel plans and we will arrange to meet you.
Don’t forget to visit our Facebook page for more stories and photographs that are not on our website. Read guests reviews, or post your own reviews. Ask questions or have discussions with past guests about their experiences on the ranch.

Seasons Greetings

SEASONS GREETINGS FROM TOD MOUNTAIN RANCH
As I prepare for our guests coming to the ranch to spend the holidays, I thought I would let you take a sneak peak through the windows and preview what they can expect.
The tree was cut and brought to the lodge earlier this week, and we decorated it yesterday in readiness for the guests arriving this weekend. The smell of the spruce tree and fir boughs, cinnamon and spice greets you as you enter the guest lodge and the bright red of the poinsettias at their most beautiful create a magnificent centerpiece on our dining table.
However you’re spending the holidays, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that 2010 brings you everything you wish for!
But before we leave 2009, don’t forget that there are only a few days left for you to take advantage of our early booking special. For all bookings received before midnight on 31st December, we are offering you our 2009 rates. This offer is available for all dates during our 2010 summer season.
And if you haven’t already made plans for your winter vacation, we still have availability on most dates for your Winter Wonderland Getaway with rates starting at $120 per cabin per night (max. 2 people per cabin).
Full details of these offers and more are available on our website at www.todmountainranch.com
