Enjoy miles of private fly fishing, explore endless hiking trails, meander through aspen groves on horseback, and indulge in the area’s excellent wineries and culinary delights from local orchards, farms, and livestock ranches. Despite the seclusion of the National Forest, The Smith Fork is less than a half-hour from the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, The Grand Mesa, and other natural treasures. Return to your historic log home and relax riverside, or around the fireplace, while enjoying craft cocktails and gourmet fare.

We offer all-inclusive group vacation experiences personalized to your preferences. Experience luxurious accommodations in a pristine natural setting, carefully tailored to your group.

Venue Features

The scene:: The Smith Fork Ranch is a private “Inholding” surrounded by one million acres of National Forest. The property is nestled in a mountain river valley accented by majestic surrounding peaks. While the property is only a few minutes from town, you’ll feel far off the beaten path in the sanctuary of nature. Miles of private river, streams, forests, pastures and ponds provide endless entertainment and relaxation for all ages. And the surrounding trails, peaks, and Aspen groves will keep everyone, from casual hikers to extreme outdoor adventurers, busy for days on end.
Design:: Hosting since 1928 ~ refreshed by our AD100 design team in 2022... The Smith Fork Ranch offers 6 guest homes and cabins with a total of 18 bedrooms, sleeping over 30 people. Think of Smith Fork as your own private ranch for a dream vacation, wedding, retreat, or ultimate milestone celebration. We recommend 16 guests or less for corporate events requiring single-occupancy guest suite privacy.
Standout venue features:: Welcome to a new genre of luxury travel. Our Experience Design team creates your ranch with our “Bespoke All-Inclusive” approach. Accommodations include 6 luxury houses and cabins, offering a total of 18 bedrooms for your group. Here, you’ll find luxury in the middle of a National Forest. Join your group at the Bell for breakfast, or the Elk Lodge for snooker and cocktails. No matter how long you stay, you’ll have a hard time seeing it all. And best of all, we limit The Smith Fork Ranch to one group at a time for your privacy and customization.
