We returned again in 2012 to spend the Holidays at Smith Fork Ranch. We were welcomed back like family & had a phenomenal three night stay. We were treated with 8" of new snow during our visit. Activities included three great horseback rides, a few sleigh rides & some scenic snow shoeing. As expected, the service & cuisine was First... More

We stayed here for two days as part of a whirlwind tour of the State of Colorado. All I can say is we wish we would have stayed here longer. It is a little piece of heaven. Our accommodations were very comfortable, we enjoyed the friendly staff, and we had a great time horseback riding and learning to fly fish... More

Smith Fork Ranch is sensational! The staff could not be more friendly, attentive, and helpful, from the chefs to the fishing guides and riding instructors. While we were there to fish, others were hiking, riding, or simply relaxing and taking in the scenery. The food is as good as it gets, including vegetables sourced almost entirely from their own garden.... More

We had a wonderful week at SmithFork Ranch. Adults only week. All the Guides, Wrangles, and staff couldn't be more helpful and pleasant. We had a breakfast ride, a coctail ride and penning lessons. Lots of trout fishing in several ponds. We also tried Archery. One morning we went off with another couple and took a ride to Black Canyon... More

We enjoyed an adults only week at Smith Fork Ranch. It is an amazing property that is quintessentially Colorado. There is so much to do, with horseback riding, fishing and archery taking up most of our time. Every activity includes a talented wrangler or guide who fit the activity to the skills of the guest. We were not too experienced... More

This was a wonderful experience at a top notch guest ranch. I would highly recommend this ranch for anyone looking for a true "get away" experience. The staff and owners were such a delight. One of the best nights sleep in years.

Spent a few days this spring at the Smith Fork while at a conference. It was superb in every way - the staff, the owners !, the cuisine, the furnishings, architecture, setting. quietude, locals. What an owner-operated mountain hideaway should be - but seldom is. To put it in perspective - it was as if RockResorts (remember them ?) had... More
