Devil's Thumb Ranch

Fodor's Review:

Many visitors initially come to this 5,000-acre ranch outside Winter Park for the unrivaled cross-country skiing, with 100 kmof groomed trails. But they wind up staying for the luxury and privacy this resort affords. Spacious cabins set in a semiprivate wood are heated using eco-friendly geothermal springs, as is the pool. The on-site Ranch House restaurant ($$$) also uses sustainable and organic ingredients. Take in a yoga class at the recently renovated, full-service spa or horseback ride, fly fish, mountain bike, and hike in the surrounding area. Working with cattle is also an option. A newly constructed main lodge, opening in 2008, promises 52 hotel-style rooms. Pros: cabins are remarkably comfortable, the restaurant is top-notch, feels like a real getaway. Cons: in winter, getting there can be rough; one of the pricier properties in the state; must drive to eat in any other restaurant or cook your own meals.
