In their “Best of Colorado: Lodging and Accommodations in 2018” roundup, ColoradoBIZ included C Lazy U in the following categories:

CBS and writer Randy Yagi recognized C Lazy U Ranch as one destination in their article titled 5 Surprise Romantic Getaways In The US. C Lazy U was in good company in this article, being named alongside the mult-million dollar Ventana Big Sur in Carmel, California and the Adelphi Hotel in New York – which has even more history than the ranch as we head into our 100th year of operation.

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.
