Cariboo Stays

· Travel Team
Planning a trip to Clinton, British Columbia? You do not have to stay at Echo Valley Ranch & Spa to enjoy the region. The area has everything from a full-service ranch retreat to simple roadside motels and lakeside accommodations. Your best choice depends on whether you want a destination stay, a convenient overnight stop, or a base for exploring the Cariboo.
Here are seven options to consider, with approximate nightly prices to help you plan your budget.
1. Echo Valley Ranch & Spa
About 50 km outside Clinton, Echo Valley Ranch & Spa is the splurge option on this list. It is designed as an all-inclusive ranch experience rather than a standard hotel, with accommodation, meals, ranch facilities, and different activity packages included depending on the rate you choose.
The Essential Experience starts at about C$449 per person per night, while the Signature Experience starts at around C$840, rising to about C$1,180 in July and August. Taxes and a service charge are extra.
Best for: A special occasion, wellness getaway, or travelers who want their accommodation to be part of the vacation itself.
2. Cariboo Lodge
For travelers who simply want a convenient place to sleep in Clinton, Cariboo Lodge is a much more practical choice. It is located on the Cariboo Highway and puts you close to the town's basic services and local attractions. Rooms cost from roughly C$120–C$150 per night before taxes, although rates change with dates and room type.
Best for: Road trips, short stays, and travelers who want to remain in Clinton without paying resort prices.
3. Spruce Hill Resort & Spa
Located at 108 Mile Ranch, Spruce Hill offers a more spacious countryside setting than a typical highway hotel. Accommodation includes standard rooms and larger chalets, while facilities include an indoor pool, hot tubs, saunas, gym, restaurant, and spa.
Recent booking prices have appeared around C$80–C$140 per night, although the exact rate depends heavily on the date and room.
Best for: Travelers who want resort-style facilities without the price of a luxury ranch.
4. 108 Golf Resort
If you prefer staying around a lake and golf course, 108 Golf Resort is another option at 108 Mile Ranch. The property is close to 108 Mile Lake and the 108 Mile Ranch Heritage Site, making it useful for travelers interested in outdoor activities and local history.
Rates can be surprisingly low on some dates, with recent listings starting around C$20–C$100 per night. Because the price fluctuates so much, check the actual rate for your travel dates before budgeting.
Best for: Golfers, budget travelers, and visitors who like a lakeside setting.
5. Ramada by Wyndham 100 Mile House
For travelers continuing north through the Cariboo, 100 Mile House offers more conventional hotel facilities. Ramada provides free continental breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking, and easy access to the town's services. Recent rates have been around C$115–C$150 per night, including taxes in some listings.
Best for: Families, road trippers, and anyone who prefers a familiar full-service hotel.

6. Round-Up Motel
If keeping costs down is your priority, a simple motel in Clinton can make more sense than traveling farther for resort facilities. Round-Up Motel offers straightforward accommodation close to the highway and is particularly convenient for travelers making a short overnight stop.
Approximate budget: C$80–C$110 per night, depending on the season and room.
Best for: Budget-conscious road trippers who value location over extra amenities.
7. Nomad Motel
Another Clinton option is Nomad Motel, located on the Cariboo Highway. It offers a simple base for exploring the area and can be more practical than booking a resort when you plan to spend most of your day outdoors.
Approximate budget: C$90–C$130 per night, depending on dates and availability.
Best for: Short stays, road trips, and travelers looking for a straightforward room in Clinton.
Which Stay Should You Choose?
If you want a luxury experience, Echo Valley Ranch & Spa is in a completely different category from the other options. If your priority is simply having a comfortable room in Clinton, Cariboo Lodge, Round-Up Motel, or Nomad Motel may make more sense. For a lake-and-nature stay, look toward 108 Mile Ranch, while 100 Mile House works well as a convenient stop on a longer Cariboo road trip.
One important point when planning: prices are only estimates. Hotel rates can change substantially by season, weekends, holidays, room type, and availability. For Echo Valley in particular, the quoted rates are per person rather than per room, and its packages include substantially more than a normal hotel stay.
So, rather than choosing the most expensive or most highly rated property, decide what kind of trip you are planning first. The Cariboo gives you plenty of ways to match your accommodation to your budget, whether you want a memorable ranch retreat or simply a comfortable place to rest before the next day on the road.
