Denver to Tabernash: Private Car Service to Grand County
So you booked Devil’s Thumb Ranch: good taste. Now there is an important question. How do you actually get there from Denver? Tabernash is in Colorado. It sits about 99 miles west of DEN. It is located in Grand County Colorado. You drive past I-70. Then drive up US-40. You go over Berthoud Pass. The pass is at 11,307 feet. The drive time is roughly 2 hours. You should add 30 to 60 minutes in winter. That pass is not a joke in a snowstorm.
The answer is a private transfer from Denver to Tabernash with Mr. Chauffeur. Fixed price, 4WD SUV, ski cargo box, and a driver who does Berthoud Pass regularly: not once a year. If you need Denver Airport car service that actually goes the distance, this is it.

Devil’s Thumb Ranch Transportation from Denver
This 6,500-acre eco-friendly resort and spa at the foot of the Continental Divide does not provide an airport transfer. Per the ranch’s own directions page: guests need to arrange private transport. That means every single person flying into DEN needs to figure this out: and most of them are figuring it out the morning of their flight.
Mr. Chaffeur offers Denver Airport to Devil’s Thumb Ranch transportation. This service is door-to-door. You can go there for Nordic skiing… Or… you can go there for fly fishing. You can go there for horseback riding and will arrive without stress. Visit Grand County. Let the driver handle Berthoud Pass.

Niko is best of the best. He took great care of us during a weekend of Red Rocks shows. Great guy, great service and clean, nice vehicles.
Sean S.
Our first experience with Mr. Chauffeur was outstanding. From pickup to drop-off, communication was clear, and the trip went smoothly. The driver demonstrated exceptional skill in navigating traffic and knew the best route for a quick stop at the box office before dropping us off at the concert. Our driver was dedicated to coordinating a meeting spot after the concert and ensuring passenger comfort and punctuality. We highly recommend Mr. Chauffeur for private transportation and plan to use their services again.

We used a car service from Cherry Creek to Red Rocks concert and had a great experience. Driver Niko was professional, punctual, and made the whole trip smooth and comfortable. The best part was not having to deal with parking. Everything was handled smooth from pickup to drop-off upper north lot and back to hotel. Reliable, comfortable, see you next time!

I did a trip from Denver airport to Vail. The service was excellent and my driver, Max, was incredibly professional. I have been with many chauffeur companies in my time and travels throughout the US and Colorado but I can easily say this was my favourite trip I've had. Communication before and during pickup was excellent so I didn't feel lost at all after arriving. Hands down, the best car service I have had.
