Family week (6 adults) was one of the best vacation weeks I have ever experienced. A wonderderful "special birthday" celebration for me. Low key, but continuosly engaged if desired; active, but plenty of choices for quiet times. Fishing, zip lining, horses, hiking, white water rafting . . . Food was delicious and always available. Hosts and staff were magnificent. This... More

North Fork ranch is truly amazing - the scenery, food, accomodations and service. The owners and staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone's needs are met (including anyone with dietary restrictions). While only a few miles from the Denver metro area, you feel a million miles away. It is an incredible place for a retreat from hectic day to... More

The food, views, and accomodations were outstanding. Went for a work retreat and will definitely visit again so I can share the experience with the whole family. If you are lucky enough to have your birthday there, ask for the carrot cake! (It is amazing!)

Food is fantastic- could compete with any gourmet restaurant. Very friendly owners and staff, make you feel at home. They thought of everything- there are benches and tables where you need them to...

A truly 5 star experience, beautiful in every aspect, the nicest owners you will ever encounter, perfect setting, wonderful dining. Fishing is as good as it gets in Colorado, relax, unwind, turn-off your Iphone 5 and enjoy.

This place is better then a five star hotel. Excellent food for every menu, best food I have never had in my life. The staff goes out of there way to make you feel so very special in every way. If your don't go here for a vacation you are messing out of a place of a lifetime.

The North Fork Ranch is the most incredible corporate retreat site in the U.S. I have been bringing my Leading From Within three-day workshop to NFR for the past seven years and can't say enough about the location, the beauty, the service, the food, and cabins. If you are looking for a retreat site for your program or company, make... More

I just attended a seminar that was set at the North Fork Ranch. First of all the setting is gorgeous. The guest ranch is nestled between Hwy 285 and the North Fork of the South Platte River in a stunning valley. The river was audible from every part of the property. Fall is just beginning to settle into Colorado and... More

We recently held a corporate meeting at North Fork Ranch with over 20 attendees. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The property is exactly what you would hope for – picturesque and perfectly maintained. The meeting room was large and comfortable, including a wood fireplace that was roaring every morning. Off of the meeting and dining room was... More

Yes, North Fork Ranch is actually a Dude Ranch, but you will not believe how good the food is. No pork and beans here! My husband, son, and I just enjoyed a 3-day getaway to NFR, and it's terrific. Great horses, friendly hosts, scenic vistas, and did I mention the food is awesome? It's the perfect place to escape the... More
