Devil's Thumb Ranch

Why It's Good:

Rustic and elegant, this resort is set in 4,000 acres of meadows and woodlands, where you can stay in a luxurious cabin. In winter, ski, cross-country ski, and snowshoe; in summer, break out your mountain bike or go hiking, horseback riding, or fly fishing. Eat at the yummy Ranch Creek Restaurant, then relax with a spa treatment at the Ranch Creek Spa or a soak in a hot tub.

Why It's Green:

The ranch's buildings, pool, and hot tubs are heated with geothermal energy, waste water is purified through sand filtration, the food at the Ranch Creek Restaurant is organic, and the chimneys (by the cozy fire), approved by the EPA, reduce wood-burning emissions to low levels.
