At the C Lazy U guest ranch you will stay in beautifully-appointed, spacious rooms that guarantee first-class comfort and solitude. Most of our guest rooms feature stone fireplaces with western and southwestern style furnishings and personal touches that will make you feel perfectly at home: daily housekeeping service, nightly bed turndown, plush robes, coffee, tea, cocoa, snacks and a fresh fruit basket replenished daily.

C Lazy U offers 40 guest ranch accommodations varying in size and décor scattered across the hillsides, all within walking distance of the Main Lodge. Children's rooms offer twin beds or bunk beds. Deluxe rooms are typically larger and many have fireplaces. A select few have a jetted tub.

The C Lazy U has been remodeling all of its cabins over the last two years in order to maintain its vision of remaining a prime Colorado guest ranch vacation. All accommodations now have new Simmins Beverly Hills Black Edition pillow top mattresses, new 300 thread-count linens, new window treatments, updated décor, iHome docking stations and regionally selected furniture. A large percentage of our cabins have been completely remodeled – interior and exterior – and in keeping with our tradition of maintaining our environment, many include reclaimed beetle-kill timber milled on ranch. Call to inquire about your perfect room.

Top Location for Incentives & Relaxed Gatherings Award by

horseback riding vacation - dude ranch vacation - colorado family vacation
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.
