The Devil’s Thumb Ranch’s commitment to sustainability is something they are proud of. They are constantly looking at ways to make their operations more sustainable, whether it is in the areas of dining, spas and housekeeping or cleaning. They see the world and the extra effort that they make as a way to repay the favor. This is an excellent example of hospitality. Solar panels are used to power the spa’s electrical needs. Solar energy is stored in batteries to ensure that they can use it when the sun’s not shining. The ranch has converted a large number of outdoor lighting fixtures and pumps to DC power. This is a more efficient power source than solar.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Ranch recycles materials whenever possible. Winter Park landslides were used to create the exterior stonework, fireplaces and other features. The interior wood panels are beetlekill pin. The NY Times and Denver Post offer digital subscriptions, which they use to reduce the amount of daily newspapers they consume. Beehives. The 80 beehives of the property work hard in order to cultivate honey. They are also committed to conserving land and growing their environmental produce. The Ranch produces the vegetables and produce that is used in Kendra’s Garden’s Ranch House Restaurant.

The ranch uses LED lights in all areas, and ground-source heat or cooling energy to heat the buildings. The system uses the earth to heat up in winter and cool down in summer, increasing its efficiency.
