Bride & Groom
The most charming wedding destination in the Colorado Rocky Mountains

ToasingThis coming September, the most spectacularly beautiful month in the Colorado Rockies, Smith fork Ranch will be available for up to three special weddings from Sept 3 through September 21.

Intimate, elegant and secluded, this historic ranch is truly a romantic mountain hideaway, tucked away in the Gunnison National forest, roughly between Aspen and Telluride, with meadows, ponds, rivers and mountain vistas in every direction as far as you can see... no neighborhood, no noise, no distractions.

Our niche is providing a private, very romantic domain for the bride and groom, their family and close friends  for an incredible wedding weekend, or as long as they want to stay.

Bride along rock wallThe flowers, gardens and grounds will be gorgeous... the Aspens turning gold... days sunny and mildly warm, with the nights just cool enough for cozy fires in the lodge and cabins.  Wonderful feather beds and sumptuous robes will be waiting for guests along with a welcome basket in each room. Our horses will be here for riding on miles of trails on the ranch and in the surrounding national forest... and our three private miles of river and six ponds will be full of trout to catch and release.

With accommodations for up to 30 guests on the property and the ability to host up to 80 for the ceremony and reception, Smith Fork Ranch is an excellent choice for an intimate, smaller wedding.  Friends and family will enjoy the warm western hospitality and gracious, accommodating staff. Lodging off the ranch can be arranged with local bed and breakfasts, inns and motels.  Guests staying on the ranch will enjoy all ranch activities and amenities including horseback riding, fly fishing and hiking.
