2006 Grand Award Winner

Hidden in a remote valley embraced by thousands of acres of wilderness, Smith Fork is a charmingly rustic ranch that evokes the style and spirit of the Old West. Lodgings consist of four cabins and a two-story log guesthouse with five bedrooms. Chinked log walls, plank floors, gas-burning stoves, down comforters and well-equipped baths all create a cozy and inviting environment. A delightful restaurant specializes in local meat and produce, backed by an extensive wine list. Days are spent riding and hiking through the ruggedly pristine mountains or trout fishing in the ranch's ponds and along a crystal-clear stream. Spruce Cabin for two, $2,500 (3 nights) and $5,950 (7 nights), all meals, fly-fishing and guided riding and hiking included. Open late May to mid-October.
