C Lazy U Guest Ranch, home of Horseback Riding Vacations and Colorado Family Vacations for over 90 years! A luxury dude ranch in the heart of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado

Employment At The C Lazy U Ranch
  
Hello, and thank you for considering spending your Summer or Winter working at the C Lazy U Ranch.

We are proud that our ranch is among the top guest ranches in the country, and the outstanding service we provide to our guests is what makes us "Miles Above Ordinary."

To maintain this high level of service, we screen applicants carefully and hire only those we feel will help us live up to our reputation. We are looking for qualities that will help us exceed the expectations of our guests. Good people skills are a 'must' for all positions. We want men and women who are enthusiastic, considerate, and genuinely friendly, and who will go out of their way to help our guests have a wonderful vacation. Our best staff members are hard working, dependable individuals, and flexibility is a key quality that helps us all get along.

All of our positions require certain skills. Counselors for the 6-12 year olds and teens, as well as wranglers, need to have riding experience. For other positions, determination and a willingness to learn will help you acquire the necessary skills after you arrive.

Compensation is by way of salary, overtime pay and room and board. Our guests pay a service charge rather than tipping individuals and employees receive a portion of this each month as a tip from the ranch.

The C Lazy U Ranch is an equal opportunity employer and we make selections on the basis of availability and skills. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age, they must be U.S. citizens or hold a valid Employment Authorization document from the INS.

If you feel you can meet our standards, we would welcome your application. Fill out the form completely, neatly, and as objectively as possible. Give careful consideration to the dates of availability that you list. 

Our summer season begins in late May and runs until mid-October. The winter season varies from mid-December to mid-February and the dates you indicate will be instrumental in our decision-making process.

Summer applicants who can work through Labor Day are given preference. We do not accept unsolicited applications for year-round work.

We begin accepting applications for summer positions after January 1 of each year.

After reviewing all applications, promising candidates are contacted for a personal or telephone interview. We begin these calls in late February and will be unable to give you a confirmation prior to that time. A firm job offer and a contract are forwarded by mail to successful candidates. Again, thank you for your interest in working at the C Lazy U Ranch.

 

 

Available Positions:

How to Apply

 

We offer our guests the very highest standards of excellence and performance in all areas. The single most important factor in maintaining such high quality is our staff. We look forward to receiving your completed application.

Over the long and rich course of our history, the C Lazy U was the only guest ranch in North America to attain both the celebrated Five-Diamond and Five-Star ratings. However, due to changes in the grading system that would require us to incorporate certain commercial aspects to maintain our status, we have opted out as a rated resort since we felt those did not complement our unique western atmosphere. We are proud of our five star legacy and continue to honor its exceptional standards with what we term five "spur" service.

A portion of this operation is conducted on the Arapahoe National Forest under a special use permit from the U. S. Bureau of Land Management and the U. S. Forest Service.
