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!
Jeremy Belnap
General Manager
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.”
