Devil’s Thumb Ranch & Sustainable Grand
Purchased by Bob and Suzanne Fanch in 2002, Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa has long prioritized sustainable practices and environmental stewardship. Over the last 24 years, this enduring vision has earned the resort numerous local and national accolades. Today, that original mission serves as the foundation for preserving the 6,500-plus pristine acres of land and water encompassing the property.
In fostering this vision further, Devil’s Thumb Ranch & Resort is partnering with Sustainable Grand to strengthen its commitment to sustainability by improving energy efficiency across its accommodations, venues, and operations. Through this collaboration, the Ranch is implementing energy-saving solutions and launching educational opportunities for staff—empowering their team with the knowledge and tools to support more sustainable practices.
These efforts extend beyond operations, enhancing the guest experience by integrating sustainability into every stay, visit, and event. By reducing energy use and prioritizing responsible practices, Devil’s Thumb Ranch is helping protect the natural environment that defines Grand County.
As a result, this partnership not only supports the Ranch’s internal sustainability goals but also contributes to a broader community impact—advancing energy efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and setting a strong example for others across the region.
