Relax & Rejuvenate

Welcome to North Fork Guest Ranch

Who We Are

North Fork Bee Icon

Mike and Tara Irwin have spent their lives drawn to the simple, good things: small towns, wide open land, horses, and genuine hospitality. Mike brings over 50 years of experience in the hospitality industry, and Tara brings a deep love for the animals and the land. Together, they took a ranch near Mayerthorpe and built something they are genuinely proud to share. North Fork Guest Ranch is not a resort. It is their home. And they are inviting you in.

Real Ranch Life

The crops are in the fields and the animals are part of daily life here. This is not a themed experience. It is the real thing.
