To our C Lazy U family:
First and foremost, our hearts go out to anyone affected by COVID-19. Please know that we value the health and safety of our guests, members and team above all else. C Lazy U Ranch is located in Grand County and this area of Colorado has not encountered the high levels of positive cases widely seen in urban areas throughout the United States. The ranch is currently operating in strict adherence to county and state restrictions and guidelines. We’ve also added our own initiatives to ensure appropriate precautionary measures in a ranch environment .
Fortunately, the ranch took decisive and proactive action and closed its doors prior to the state-wide recommendations back in mid-March. C Lazy U has been approved to re-open in a limited capacity as of May 22, 2020 and we can’t wait to welcome you, our valued guests, to once again enjoy the amazing experiences C Lazy U has to offer.
We understand that vacationing and traveling to C Lazy U Ranch may be slightly different and there may be some new questions prior to your stay. Therefore, we hope the information provided here will provide you with the necessary assurance that you will have a safe experience filled with genuine western hospitality and five-star service.
Sincerely,
The C Lazy U Ranch Family
Every employee is required to wear a mask and recognizing the respect we want to honor for all individuals while on ranch, we encourage our guests to do the same. We strongly encourage individuals to wear a mask in locations where people gather and when there is a likelihood we will pass one another on ranch paths and roads. Some activities, such as horseback riding may require a mask at the commencement and conclusion of the activity but to ensure adequate and safe breathing, once we exceed safe social distance norms guests may remove their mask at their discretion.
Our team members are health screened and temperature checked before being allowed to begin work for the day. Every team member on duty will be wearing a colored bracelet indicating they’ve passed the daily health and temperature screening and have been approved to come on duty. Team members follow the C Lazy U Ranch Commitment to Containment:
Numerous initiatives are in effect to address health and safety concerns. For example:
Cocktails will be available from the bar but please note that regulations do not allow people to congregate within the bar areas. Guests can still order and enjoy libations but are invited to do so in our larger gathering places and beautiful outdoor locations, respecting commonly recognized social distance guidelines. We’ve also introduced our Bootlegger Cocktail Service which invites guests to text from virtually anywhere on ranch and have their drink delivered to their location.
Our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Cory Untch, has exciting new healthy-focused menu selections that are tailored to meet the needs of our guests while complying with COVID-19 regulations.
At C Lazy U Ranch all group sizes are typically limited to 4-8 people in accordance with a maximum allowable current group size restriction of 10 or less.
With this in mind, activities that are available include:

The ranch is always focused on enjoying and exploring the outdoors! That has not changed. Whether it’s mountain biking, hiking or throwing hatchets, we’re ready for some fun in the sun and have all activities up and running. Some other steps we are taking:
Gyms located in places of accommodation (hotel/motel, etc.) are allowed to be open as long as they are restricted to a two-person maximum occupancy at one time, guests are required to wear masks and the room is sanitized between each use. We are pleased to announce we’ve recently renovated our fitness room and introduced two new Peloton bikes.
Yes, the pool will be open this summer as long as the number of people is limited to 50% of the normal capacity. The guidelines recommend that swimmers not living in the same household should stay at least 6 feet apart during swimming.
The hot tubs are open and limited to a total number of two occupants at once.
C Lazy U Ranch will manage the capacity on-site and will establish a reservation system as needed to allow for equitable use of the facilities.
Yes, the spa will be open using county and state recommended service and safety guidelines. As of now, our offerings are limited to massage only. Currently, services such as facials and cowboy copper tub soaks are suspended.
Yes, in modified capacity that includes outdoor and large spaces, while honoring social distancing and smaller group sizes.
We want to ensure all of our guests’ safety, so we will be happy to help you rebook your stay for future dates if circumstances warrant moving dates. Please contact us at 970-887-3344 so we can assist you.
Yes! We still have availability for the summer, but it is limited. Both fall and winter seasons have space as well. Please call 970-887-3344 to discuss your future reservation.
