C Lazy U Team

What is the difference between a good trip and the vacation of a lifetime? The answer is simple: personal service.  By this we mean the kind of friendly, dedicated service that can only be provided by people who love their jobs and in turn strive to make guests feel welcome and pampered. At the C Lazy U Luxury Guest Ranch, we go that extra mile to welcome you and make sure you have a great time: we call it superior service and it is what makes our Colorado dude ranch “Miles Above Ordinary.”

Meet the C Lazy U Staff: Dedicated to Providing the Best Colorado Family Vacations!

General Manager

Jeremy Belnap, General Manager at C Lazy U Ranch

Born in Litchfield NH, Jeremy graduated from college in North Carolina after studying hospitality, restaurant and resort management. He began his career 20 years ago by working in multiple leadership roles covering all areas of hospitality, for notable luxury brands such as Marriott Hotels and Resorts, the Bohemian Hotel Savannah Riverfront and the Kessler Collection.

For 7 years before coming to C Lazy U, Jeremy led the award-winning teams of the only Forbes Travel Guide 5-star rated luxury guest ranches of Magee Homestead (part of the Brush Creek Luxury Ranch Collection) in Wyoming, and The Ranch at Rock Creek in Montana. During Jeremy’s tenure, Magee Homestead was initiated into the Relais & Chateaux collection and also achieved its first 5-star rating in its first year of submission as well as each year following his tenure. Both the Brush Creek Luxury Ranch Collection and The Ranch at Rock Creek also received notable recognition in Travel + Leisure, Conde Nast Traveler, Robb Report, and more.

“Nearly two years ago, my family and I made the incredible journey to Colorado, stepping into the rich, 100+ year legacy of guest Ranch hospitality that C Lazy U is known for. Since then, we’ve been honored to be part of the Ranch story—a place where unforgettable family vacations are created and traditions are carried forward. I’m deeply grateful to be surrounded by a world-class team that pours passion and dedication into every experience, and I look forward to many more moments of connection, adventure, and shared memories with the families who make this place so special.”

Ranch Blog

If the idea of a winter ranch vacation sounds both magical and intimidating, you’re not alone. Families often picture deep snow, freezing temperatures, unfamiliar activities, and a lot of unanswered questions. Will the kids be bored? Will we be cold? What do you actually do all day at a ranch in winter? Here’s the truth:…

From the Horse's Mouth

I'm still blissed out after our weekend at the ranch. Philip and I have traveled all over the state and truly, it was one of the best trips we've ever had. Thanks so much for extending the experience to us. Although ranch stays are trending and there are so many options in Colorado, I don't think I really understood the allure until visiting for myself. For one, I'm so glad we went in the wintertime. In chatting with the staff (who were all fabulous — service was a big stand-out feature), I got the impression that January-March is a quiet season. But man, are people missing out. We saw so much wildlife, enjoyed guided experiences with such intimate groups, and had a level of privacy I've never come across at an all-inclusive resort. The activities were abundant, the facilities and rental gear were high quality, and the food! The wine pairing dinner was an unexpected surprise and again, so intimate and enjoyable. The whole experience was such a treat. Thank you again. High praise all around. There's really so much to love about the destination.
