From the reviews
Our ride yesterday with Smoke Tree Stables was an absolute pleasure. Our guides were patient, instructional, and very informative throughout the experience. The horses were exceptionally well trained, healthy, and clearly well cared for.
Came here during the president's day long weekend, and joined the Murray canyon tour at 11 am. Tried to call ahead but unfortunately they do not take reservations. Recommend to get here early to ensure you can ride during the session you want. The whole tour was around 2hours, and costs $120 per person.
We went for a trail ride on 3/23/24 through Indian Canyon. To say the least, it was amazing and the most fun we have had since moving full-time to Palm Springs back in 2022. The horses are beautiful and so well trained and trustworthy.
We highly recommend the trail ride. We took our 7 yr old daughter. She did great and had the best time! Our trail guide was so good with her and we really appreciate that!! All of the staff was amazing! Thank you for making this day so special! We will be back!
Getting married at Smoke Tree Stables
Smoke Tree Stables comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Smoke Tree Stables
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Smoke Tree Stables — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
