Beautiful scenery, family atmosphere, trail riding, hiking, relaxing, superb food, these are just small factors in what makes North Fork Ranch great. When you first pull in to the ranch, You will instantaneously get the feeling that you will never want to leave. Owners Dean and Karen will make you feel right at home and like you are part of...

It's been 10 years since being a vacationer at NFR. Obviously time may have changed the way things are now run at the ranch, and that obviously should be taken into consideration when planning a return trip- but I felt we needed to share what we experienced, so others can at least take it into consideration when making plans to...

What a great place. Simply beautiful setting right on the river. I came with my wife, daughter (7 yr old), mom and dad. We came to fish as it's an Orvis endorsed lodge, and I've had good luck visiting lodges that Orvis endorses and this is no exception. The fishing was first class. I've never fished a river with as...

We enjoyed a long weekend at the North Fork Dude Ranch in August 2011. It could not have been any better! Owners Karen and Dean treated us and all their guests like family.

They have a beautiful spot on the river. Our guides were awesome and got us on fish aall day. They have the friendliest owners and staff anywhere - take care of every need. And the lunch was really incredible! More

We have been to North Fork five times over the years. Dean and Karen make you feel so welcome and like one of the family. We have stayed in every one of the cabins. Each is decorated in a special way reflecting a love of the old West. They do an amazing job of selecting their staff. Everything is included... More

Karen and Dean are incredible hosts, the hospitality was most gracious, you couldn't ask for more. The food was incredible (had to purchase the cookbook). The lodging's great and the private fishing waters footsteps away. What more could you ask for! I highly recommend the North Fork Ranch. More

Loved our stay with Dean and Karen! Everyone could not have been nicer. The food was just plain yummy!!! We were here for a weekend and basically the only guests. We felt like family. The horseback riding was great! The aspens were turning and the weather was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. More

This is a totally biased review but that doesn't mean it's wrong or distorted. It's just that I've loved Karen and Dean and their kids Hayley and Tyler and the incredible western experience they have created, ever since I first discovered their ranch via the internet 11 years ago. I've been back every year since, alone, with family, with friends.... More
