Vista Verde Ranch
So we've told you all the wonderful things about our stay at the ranch.  But what was really the cream of the crop was getting to know all the staff.  In fact, we were laughing that if we applied to work here, we probably wouldn't get the job because we don't have enough degrees!  They are all so wonderful and smart and truly seem to enjoy what they are doing.  We wanted to take them all home with us!

Housekeeping

Johanna Stouder

Johanna Stouder just graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Animal Science and has been a member of the Purdue Equestrian Team.  Growing up in South Bend, Indiana, she has found a way to constantly surround herself with animals—even working at the Potawatomi Zoo!  After spending last summer guiding guests on horseback, Jo has taken off her boots for the year to head up the housekeeping department.  She’s hoping our guests will be cleaner than the horses.

Hallie Minglin

Hallie Minglin is returning for her second season as a part of our spectacular housekeeping crew!  While she grew up on a lake in Vandalia, MI and has aspirations of returning to school to become a nurse, Hallie is also very artistic.  When Hallie is not  looking after your needs, you’ll find her out hiking around the ranch and exploring her first summer in Colorado.

Lauren Ulmer

Lauren Ulmer is a sophomore architecture major at the University of Virginia.  Lauren is a superstar competitive swimmer, but since the pond isn’t big enough for laps she sticks to housekeeping here at the ranch.  Lauren loves being outdoors.  When she’s not cleaning cabins, you can bet she’ll be out taking advantage of all Colorado has to offer.

Mindy Federonick

Mindy Federonick left her job as a case manager in Lafayette, Indiana to come and tame the Wild West.  A Purdue University graduate, Mindy will be joining Johanna (another Purdue grad) on the housekeeping crew this summer.  She has dabbled in interior design, and we look forward to having her artful eye give us some feedback on our lodging.  In her downtime, you may find Mindy joining Rusty for a knitting party.  Sounds like a wild and crazy time.

Amy DeVries

Amy DeVries is a former guest turned housekeeper from Grand Rapids, Michigan.  Having seen Vista Verde from the guest side, she decided one week per summer wasn’t enough.  A graphic design major at Palm Beach Atlantic University, Amy is a published photographer (look out Carla!).  This summer she’ll have a myriad of photographic opportunities out in the wiles of the Routt National Forest!
