Enjoy these sentiments from previous North Fork guests...

Paul Phillips
Dean and Karen have established an ambiance with your personality that is translated into all of your help that makes each visitor feel important, wanted, and at ease.

The food was wonderful, the special touches in the accommodations worthy of five star rank, the fishing the best in the West, and the reason for Dude Ranches - horses- truly outstanding!  When we learned of the care with which your horses are selected, tested over a period of several years, trained, and finally certified as worthy of use by your visitors, we were astounded.  The instruction for those who had never ridden was especially notable.

I've just returned home from the best vacation I've had in years.  I wasn't sure what to expect finding North Fork on the internet but I must say it was more than I could have imagined.  Dean, Karen, and Kids have built the most beautiful home for their guests.  What a beautiful location and what a wonderful staff.  I'll be back next year and many years to come.

As always, we enjoyed our stay with you again this year.  Each year we return, we marvel at your warm welcome...our family away from home, the constant improvements you make...you have created a comforting oasis in those beautiful mountains...such a joy to become absorbed in the quieter, slower pace of life.  We always want to stay another day, another week and return another year!  Thank you...again...

Just a note to tell you one more time what a FABULOUS time our family had at North Fork Ranch.  We loved every minute of it!  Everyone, all 15 of us, said it was the most fun we've ever had together...ever!!  The well organized activities for all ages, horseback riding, fantastic fly-fishing, square dancing, not to mention the meals, accommodations and the setting just can't be beat!
We have memories we will cherish forever!  Thank you!

A friend and I stayed at your wonderful ranch in July. We had a fantastic time! Your family and the staff made us feel so comfortable. The food was outstanding, the accommodations were first class, and the surroundings were breathtaking! Thank you so much for some of the most special memories of a lifetime! I hope to return in the future!

My wife and I just concluded a week of fantastic riding, eating, relaxing, dancing, trap shooting, and meeting fabulous friends. For anyone thinking about this type of vacation, forget it, just go ahead and do it. Dean and Karen and staff will make you feel a part of their family. P.S. forget about diets for one week. This is my second year in a row visiting and we will be returning in 2006.

Cindy and I went to the North Fork Ranch the first week of June 2005.We didn't know what to expect because we have never been on this sort of vacation before. We got more than we could have ever expected. The May family and their staff went above and beyond to make sure our week stay was the best.(we are going to try and may it back every year)

Thanks again for a great time, Bill & Cindy

We have lived and traveled all over the United States and Europe but have never vacationed anywhere where the hosts and staff have worked so hard to ensure a perfect visit. Absolutely action-packed week...horseback riding, fishing, rafting on the Arkansas River, hiking... First class accommodations/dining in a breathtaking location. All in a 'down home' atmosphere. Thank you, North Fork!

You can't call room service. No phone. You can't complain about the TV not working. No TV. It'll drive you nuts just trying to find that one spot, under an Aspen in the rain, where cellular communication is possible and if your cell phone rings on the trail, expect to get a load of 'grief' from your wrangler and fellow dudes. BUT, if you want an unpressured week away from it all in the Colorado Rockies, in ultra-comfort (excepting the western saddle), with fantastic food, great company, incredible staff, a place where your family is welcomed as members of their family...this IS it. For an intimate (under 40 guests) dude ranch experience, nobody does it better... and it's been that way every time (7 to date) we've visited.

We had a wonderful time at your ranch in Sept.! You served the best food, horses are well cared for and trails great. The cabin and amenities were the best we have experienced! You were our 14th ranch so I can certainly compare.
