This was my second visit to the Smoakhouse Ranch. Three nights. A clean, quiet, and relaxing place. Lots of ammenities here also. The owners are both super nice and hospitable. Plus it is a real treat to see and feed the animals. Another great stay at a fantastic place. I also finally mastered getting here on this trip without GPS.... 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

My wife and I first went here almost 12 years ago and we have been back several times since. Feed the donkeys, sheep, or goats and cows. The pool and hot tub are open in the summer. During the winter, we enjoy a cigar on the front porch of the cabin. This place is way out in the country far... More

After reading the bad reviews of other places in the area, I knew I needed to drive farther than I normally would for a nice and clean place. And the Smoakhouse Ranch was worth it. My friend and I stayed in the smaller cabin which was perfect for us. The place was very clean and furnished well beyond our expectations.... More

My husband and I recently visited the Smoak House Ranch and stayed about a week. We stayed in the Earl ceder house. If you love history you would love this place. Warm cozy feeling of stepping a little bit back in time and yet not without its modern comforts. Well supplied and maintained. Relaxing evenings out on the porch swing... More

We had a wonderful weekend at the Smoakhouse Ranch. A wonderful get-a-way. It is about 2 miles from the Suwannee River where you can go boating. There are antique shops near buy and plenty of open space to get some fresh air. It's a wonderful place to have a family reunion, wedding or just some peace and quiet. :) Oh... More

We had an opportunity to take a weekend away form Tampa Bay, but always have the issue of traveling with our "Children", our beloved Pomeranians. We wanted to stay close to the Suwannnee, Santa Fe and Ichetuchnee Rivers to explore the Springs Country, but ran into the "No Pets" issue. A little research found the Smoakhouse Ranch, and a call...

What a beautiful place!! Had no problems finding the ranch, even coming in late at night. Tim and Emily were most accomodating and helpful! Our cabin was clean, relaxing and quaint. We loved the old feel, our 3 boys ages, 14 12 and 12 absolutely loved the location and all the animals. We cannot wait to come back and explore... More
