Award-winning writer Irene Thomas brought her family to C Lazy U after school let out and she raves about her experience in her column on MyFamilyTravels.com. We’re so glad they enjoyed themselves…but we’re not surprised. It’s what we do best!
Conde Nast Traveler’s article on How to Plan the Perfect Kid Friendly Vacation mentions C Lazy U Ranch in the section of advice for tweens. They mentioned that our kids program includes freedom from parents – but in a controlled group setting with a trained counselor serving as a role model – the kids form lasting bonds with the horses they ride and with their peers.
We are delighted to have been included in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2016 Summer “Bucket List” of things to do. Teaching folks how to ride a horse the right way is definitely one of our specialties!
Travel + Leisure Magazine’s recent article on “Best Places to Go for Animal Encounters” mentions C Lazy U as a place you can go to encounter horses. “There’s nothing quite like spending a week atop these amazing creatures,” says author Judy Koutsky, who also covered gorilla trekking in Uganda and checking out the blue-footed boobies in the Galapagos in this slideshow-style article.
Writer Lynn O’Rourke Hayes highlighted C Lazy U Ranch in her article for the Dallas News about where to go for a stress-free camping trip. We all know camping with the kids can be a bit of an undertaking! We are happy to turn it into a fun experience for all the family members. Lynn mentions spending the day hiking and horseback riding, then retreating to a tent…she is talking about our Glamping Tents. Luxury camping with all the comforts of home!

Fall foliage is here! There’s so many ways to soak up the beautiful amber and gold as they sweep through the mountains; you can drive a scenic byway, hike a mountain trail, or even see the Autumn foliage by train. All are fantastic options for connecting with both nature and the spirit of the season.…
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.
