Smith Fork Ranch, a 1930’s-40’s vintage ranch, is privately owned by the Hodgson family who have carefully restored and refurbished the old ranch, carefully retaining its original character.  A log guest lodge with five bedrooms with private baths, four log guest cabins, a hunting lodge and cookhouse provide an intimate, genuinely western atmosphere with a capacity of 26-28 guests.  Although rustic in feeling, there are luxurious touches – slate tiled bathrooms, handmade soaps and lotions, comfy robes and down comforters.  Living quarters are furnished with primitive American antiques and original American art and crafts from western and native American artisans.  We take pride in our accommodations, a high level of service, and careful housekeeping which greatly enhances each guest’s stay at Smith Fork Ranch.
