About Devil's Thumb Ranch

Once upon a time in Devil's Thumb, bison roamed free and smoke signals were the only method of long-distance communication. Today the bison still roam free but thankfully smoke signals have been replaced by Wi-Fi and Devil's Thumb Ranch's original homestead has been transformed into rustically elegant accommodations. A vacation here is Colorado at its most Colorado—a quintessential mountain escape complete with zero obligations yet plenty to do. Rise and shine with a morning hike or yoga session, hop on the back of a horse and gallop through summer wildflower meadows or a winter wonderland and cozy up by the fire each evening while you roast marshmallows for s'mores.

What We Love

From the wildly unscripted to the perfectly planned, this is easily our new favorite place for Wild West adventures. Go dashing through the snow when you ski, sleigh or skate in a magical snow-globe setting. And as winter warms into spring and summer, soak up the sunshine as you hike, bike, zipline and cast fishing lines. From cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on a blanket of white to a sun-filled trot or bike ride across the open range, guests big and small are sure to find thrills (not to mention frills) at the Ranch. Pack your pioneering spirit and make yourself right at home at this authentically western resort.

Spa

This is not your typical spa experience. Relaxing? Of course. The difference is in the rustic touches that allow you to disconnect and soak up the jaw-dropping beauty of the Continental Divide. Crackling hearths, homemade tea and panoramic Colorado mountain views set the stage for ultra-pampering massages, rejuvenating skin treatments, organic products, and more. Try a mountain-inspired seasonal treatment that resets body, mind, and spirit.

Activities

Plan your perfect Rocky Mountain adventure with a wide range of unlimited seasonal activities. From cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on blankets of snow to biking through wildflowers, catching rainbow trout, and taking aim with a bow and arrow, adventure seekers big and small will find the thrill they seek. With 6,500 acres to explore, your options are endless.

Culinary Highlights

With the appetite you’ll work up, we’ve paired true Colorado adventure with three full meals and a snack daily. Nothing brings people together like delicious food—especially the fresh crop of herbs and veggies grown right on the Ranch that complement the local produce sourced from the surrounding valley. From the two refined, on-Ranch restaurants to specialty options like the Grotto, Wine Cellar and quaint café, dining is an adventure of its own.
