C Lazy U Ranch is Colorado’s Adult Luxury Summer Vacation

June 24, 2025

Remember the magic of summer camp? Long days outdoors, new friendships, big laughs, and experiences that stuck with you for life? Now imagine that, but with five star accommodations, gourmet dining, fine wine, and world-class service. That’s what summer at C Lazy U Ranch delivers: the carefree joy of childhood summers, elevated with everything adults love about luxury travel and adventure. Come see why our all-inclusive dude ranch is the ultimate place to unplug, recharge, and get away. 

Reconnect With Your Adventurous Side

The rugged beauty of the mountains sets the stage for a thrilling lineup of western activities. Whether you want to fill your day with movement or savor the slower moments, there’s something for every energy level and every interest. Wake up with a guided horseback ride through 8,500 acres of pristine wilderness, try your hand at fly fishing Willow Creek, or test your aim with trap shooting, hatchet throwing, or archery. Mountain bike or hike up to a jaw-dropping view, catch a glimpse of some Colorado wildlife, refine your horsemanship, or slide right into the pool. Each day is a choose-your-own-adventure, with all the fun of summer camp (minus the curfews).

All-Inclusive, All About You

At C Lazy U, we don’t want to catch you worrying about a single thing. Meals, amenities, lodging in a private cabin, and most on-ranch activities are all included with your stay. That means no logistics, no planning, and no stress. Want to trail ride in the morning, dominate the tennis court in the afternoon, and sip a hand-crafted cocktail by the firepit at night? Done. Craving a cold plunge between yoga and a guided hike? Consider it booked. Our experienced team handles the details, so you can focus on making memories. This allows you to be fully present, deeply relaxed, and totally immersed in the moment.

A Culinary Experience as Grand as the West

Great food is part of the adventure, and at C Lazy U, we want dining to be a transformative experience. Every meal is thoughtfully planned by our culinary team, blending fresh regional ingredients with elevated, world-class techniques. Breakfasts are hearty and fresh, lunches are casual and scenic (think classic trail picnics), and dinners are events unto themselves — multi-course affairs served family-style, featuring the region’s best meat and game served in exciting new ways while honoring western traditions. And of course, no day at the ranch would be complete without dessert or a perfectly paired glass from our award-winning wine list

Soak in the Scenery — And the Spa

After a day on the trails, you can unwind at the Lazy You Spa and Lazy You Hideaway, our adults-only oases for relaxation and rejuvenation in the fresh mountain air. The cold plunges, sauna, hot tub, and panoramic viewing lounge are all included with your stay, and one-of-a-kind spa treatments — like massages over a flowing stream or cowboy copper tub soaks — are the perfect way to treat yourself. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, re-centered, and ready to take on anything.

Yes, It’s Also a Dream Family Getaway

While the ranch delivers the adult vacation of a lifetime, it also creates unforgettable moments for families. C Lazy U offers robust, age-specific kids’ and teens’ programs, where young guests form lifelong friendships while riding horses, learning roping techniques, making crafts, and exploring the great outdoors. It’s a place where parents can fully relax knowing their children are safe, engaged, and thriving — and where families can come together at the end of the day to share stories, s’mores, and trail tales around the campfire.

This Is Summer Camp, Reimagined

There’s nothing like C Lazy U in the summer. It’s equal parts adventure, luxury, and nostalgia. You’ll find the freedom and wonder of a child’s summer break, with all the elevated touches adults crave. No bunk beds or cafeteria lines here. Just luxury cabins with mountain views, fine dining blended with western comforts, and meaningful moments that feel both timeless and unforgettable.

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.
