"Situated a mere 40 minutes from Rocky Mountain’s less-touristed western entrance, Devil’s Thumb Ranch is the epitome of luxe Colorado mountain living. This year-round retreat is chock full of family-friendly activities like horseback riding, private park tours, delectable dining, and a geothermally heated saltwater pool. Room decor sits somewhere between dude ranch cowboy and earthy bohemian, with wood paneling, plush bedding, leather couches, and stone fireplaces all making appearances on the 6,500-acre property." - Emily Pennington
