About Devil's Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa
Devil's Thumb Ranch is a luxury guest ranch sprawling across 6,500 acres near Tabernash, just 15 minutes from Winter Park and 75 miles west of Denver. The property is home to one of the largest groomed Nordic trail networks in North America — over 120 kilometres of classic and skate-ski tracks winding through aspen groves, open meadows, and along the ranch's namesake rock formation. The full-service rental shop outfits visitors with classic and skate cross-country ski packages, snowshoes, and fat bikes, making it easy to spend an entire day exploring the trail system without bringing any gear of your own.
In the warmer months, the ranch transforms into a multi-sport basecamp with horseback riding through Cabin Creek Stables, guided fly fishing on nearby streams, fat-tire mountain biking on the extensive trail network, and zip-lining through the forest canopy. Daily yoga sessions, a year-round heated pool and hot tub, and the acclaimed Ranch Creek Spa give visitors a way to recover after a day of activity. Dining options include the Ranch House Restaurant & Saloon, Heck's Tavern, and Hallowed Grounds Coffee Shop — all on-site — plus a Volarios location in Winter Park for guests who venture into town.
Accommodation ranges from lodge rooms and log cabins to private guest houses, so the ranch caters to couples on a romantic getaway as readily as it does to large family reunions or corporate retreats. The secluded setting feels a world away from the bustle of the resort village, yet the proximity to Winter Park means alpine skiing is still an easy day trip. For visitors seeking a blend of outdoor adventure, wellness, and refined mountain hospitality, Devil's Thumb Ranch is one of the most distinctive destinations in the Colorado Rockies.
