 Call To Book - 1 (250) 547-6303 for 2009

  In the spring of 1999 we completed the new guest cabin so we could start our Driving Training Weekends. We specialize in beginning driving training with singles, pairs, and if your up to it, a four-in-hand. Since then we have been booked solid and enjoyed working with every guest. Pictured above are some of our previous guests.

Lumby is located in the North Okanagan part of the Interior of British Columbia Canada. The area features plenty of recreation such as hiking, skiing, fishing, motocross, and wine tours.

We are now taking reservations so if you are interested, just call us or email for available times and rates. The cabin, located in a private corner of the property overlooks a pond, the arena, and Trinity Valley. It has been a big hit and people enjoy it's rustic but homey elements.

Now that Brian is retired we will be extending our bookings to include mid-week driving and training.

Pairs start in the arena as well and soon progress to nature.
