Hello.

We’re getting the ranch ready for you, and we want to be sure we have everything right. Take a look, fix anything that’s off, and answer a few questions for December.

This page has two parts

What we have for you

If something isn’t right, tap Change and fix it.

Your room

If this isn’t right, tell us in the note at the bottom and we’ll sort it out with you.

Your balance

One thing to do before you come Please call Amy Grissom at the Devils Thumb front desk at 970.726.7000 and put a card on file for anything the retreat doesn’t cover, like spa treatments, the gift shop, or drinks outside our hosted bars. Your room, meals, the program and our hosted bars are taken care of.

A few things for December

Answer what you can. “Not sure yet” is a fine answer.

Will you arrive before 4:00 on Sunday?

We’ll have food and game tables out from 2:00 to 4:00, and room check-in and the retreat both begin at 4:00. This just helps us plan the food.

How are you getting there?

If people are open to it, we’ll help match up rides from Denver.

Spa treatments

Sign-up is open. The Ranch Creek Spa has held a block of times for us on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and everything on the list falls outside our sessions, so whatever you pick you will not miss anything. Monday afternoon has only a couple of spots and it is the one everybody wants, so it is first come, first served.

Sign up and we hold your time. You pay at the spa when you have your service. Tell us which treatment you want in the comment box; the massage and facial menus have the treatments and prices. Open through Monday, November 16.

Anything else we should know?

Room or roommate changes, something you’re hoping for, anything at all.

You can come back to this same link any time to make changes.

Thank you.

Your details are in. One more thing: take a look at Before you go just below, with what to expect, a packing list and directions.

If anything changes before December, come back to this same link and update it.

We can’t wait to see you at the ranch.

Before you go

What to expect

2 nights/3 days with a small group of women, set up so you can slow down and actually be there. About two weeks before, we’ll send you one short thing to do ahead of time. That’s the only preparation. Otherwise, just come as you are.

Sunday, December 6

Come any time from 2:00 for food and games. Room check-in and the retreat both begin at 4:00, and we end the day with dinner together.

Monday, December 7

Optional yoga and breakfast, then our morning and early afternoon together. The rest of the afternoon is yours, for the spa, a walk, a nap or nothing at all. We gather again before dinner and end the night at the fire.

Tuesday, December 8

Optional yoga and breakfast. Bring your bags down by 10:30 and we’ll close the weekend together, finishing around noon.

What to pack

  • Your coat, hat and gloves. Monday night we walk out to the fire after dinner.
  • Shoes or boots for walking. There will be some walking between buildings each day.
  • Comfortable clothes you can move in. We’ll be up and moving, sometimes on the floor.
  • Nothing dressy for dinner. Dinners are casual. Stay in your comfy clothes from the day, put on jeans and a sweater, or wear whatever you feel most like yourself in.
  • Something for yoga if you’d like to join in the mornings. Mats are provided.
  • Your mahjong card if you play. We’ll have game tables set up for mahjong, Rummikub and canasta during free time between and after our sessions.
  • A swimsuit if you plan to use the spa.
  • Cozy things for evenings: slippers, a soft sweater, whatever helps you settle in.
  • Anything you take every day.

Getting there

Devils Thumb Ranch
3530 County Road 83, Tabernash, CO 80478
Open in Maps

From Denver it’s about an hour and 35 minutes. Take I-70 west to exit 232 and follow Highway 40 over Berthoud Pass, through Winter Park and Fraser. About 2 miles past Fraser, turn right on County Road 83, take the right-hand fork, and follow it 3 miles to the ranch.

December can bring snow on the pass. Check road conditions at cotrip.org before you leave, give yourself extra time, and drive a car with good tires.

If you arrive before 4:00, the front desk will hold your bags until your room is ready.

Questions before December? Write to us at thespacebetweenretreats@gmail.com.

See you at the ranch.
