Accommodations at Smith Fork Ranch for Dude Ranch Holidays

All of the original buildings on Smith Fork Ranch were built by hand between 1890 and 1950. Four private cabins, the guest house, the Dinner Bell Cook House and the Old Elk lodge have been built or restored and refurbished with modern comforts hidden within their original, historic character.

To have Smith Fork Ranch as your western mountain home, even for a week, is an experience you won't forget. The living quarters are furnished with primitive antiques and original American art and crafts from the hands of the best western and Native American artisans of the past eighty years.

We have a high-powered telescope for your use. From your back porch at daybreak, you can watch the wildlife in the meadows and up on Saddle Mountain. And after dark, search for your favorite constellation up in our sky of a million stars.

After an active day outdoors, evenings at Smith Fork Ranch are a special pleasure. Breathtaking sunsets, delicious dinners, interesting stories about life in the West told sitting around the fire in the old Elk Lodge as the night cools down - and then to sleep - in the most comfortable, cozy beds you can imagine. You really won't want to leave…

And you don't have to - because we can arrange and help you with as many activities, or as few, as you'd like.

“It is difficult to put into words how much fun we had at your ranch this week. The memories we created will last our family a lifetime, and we have you and your staff to thank. Every aspect of our week exceeded our expectations, and we could and will recommend your ranch, without a doubt, as the finest guest ranch there is! Best wishes for your continued success and I hope you take a great deal of pride and satisfaction in what you do to help families grow stronger together.”
–The Berry Family, South Carolina
