Summer Family Weeks: Your Ultimate Family Adventure

Rediscover the joy of family vacations with Summer Family Weeks at C Lazy U Ranch in 2026. From Sunday arrivals through Sunday departures (minimum one-week stays) between June 7 and August 16, your family is invited to experience all-inclusive luxury, Western adventure, and community.

Kids (ages 3–17) dive into action-packed days with horseback riding (learn more about the Children’s Horse Program), scavenger hunts, talent shows, and more in the Summer Children’s Program—no sign-up needed and included in your stay.

Adults are invited to participate in the Adult Horse Program where they saddle up for trail rides of all levels. When they’re not in the saddle, adults can tackle outdoor adventures like hiking, biking, fly fishing, ropes course & zip line, or unwind at the spa—all thoughtfully curated for you to choose your pace.

On Saturdays families unite for the Shodeo—where kids show off what they’ve mastered and adults compete in friendly rodeo games like barrel racing and pole bending.

At the end of each adventure-filled day, families retreat to their own luxurious cabin accommodations—each featuring modern amenities, thoughtful Western décor, and nightly turndown service. Most cabins include wood-burning fireplaces and spacious porches perfect for stargazing in the cool mountain air.

Your stay includes 3 gourmet meals daily, which are a highlight of the C Lazy U experience. Our executive chef specializes in farm-to-table cuisine, serving hearty breakfasts, lunches and gourmet dinners where every dish is crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
