The smoakhouse ranch was wonderful from beginning to end, it's a home away from home. The owners Tim and Emily were wonderful too, not to mention Gina she made sure we had everything. we've already made reservations for thanksgiving, but this time for the Earl cabin (we stayed at the farmhouse). The cabin is historic with original fixtures, we took... More

Tim, Emily and Angela made certain everyday of our stay to our comfort by their attention to details Every evening we were left a log to burn which we grew to anticipate and enjoy before retiring.

We had group of family and friends that stayed in the farmhouse over the Labor Day Weekend using it as a base for some of the local springs and had a great time. Not fancy, but clean, comfortable and homey. Emily was very helpful in guiding us about the local area and pointing out all the things to do there.... More

I couldn't just tell you one thing that was great about this place, they whole stay from beginning to end was just above all expectations. We arrived late at night, about 12am, and the owner, Mrs. Emily, was nice enough to wait up for us and even came to meet us to guild us down the dark country road, thankfully!!... More

We had a really nice stay at the Smoakhouse Ranch. The cabin was very nice, the jacuzzi and pool were good and we enjoyed the relaxing time there very much. The use of the BBQ area is also possible and we could also feed the donkey, cows and other animals. The owners were very friendly and helpful, gave us good... More

I can't tell you how pleasantly surprised I was to find the Smoakhouse Ranch. We were traveling from Indiana to see my dad over the holidays. We expected to have to get a hotel in Lake City, about 20+ miles from Branford. By chance we searched for a B&B in the Branford area. I read the reviews and checked the... More

My wife and I manage a very busy motel/campground in Cedar Key and needed a couple days of R&R. We found the Smoakhouse Ranch on Tripadvisor and thought it would be the perfect place to kick back and do nothing Our first two days, it rained non-stop which was perfect. There was no guilt in sitting on the front porch... More
