Gerard Guichon’s cousin Guy Rose (son of Joseph’s daughter Virginia) and his wife Hilde acquired the hotel and an important portion of the ranch, which became the Quilchena Cattle Company. The family later sold the ranch, hotel and golf course to the Douglas Lake Cattle Company, which still operates them as part of the largest cattle ranch in Canada.
