More than a Guest Ranch…
Families and meeting planners alike find the ranch an outstanding destination for vacations and conferences. The ranch is located 90 miles from Denver just west of the Continental Divide in the heart of the scenic Rocky Mountains. Our secluded location is accessible yet removed from the unwanted distractions found at urban convention sites. Our warm western hospitality provides the especially relaxed setting important for a truly enjoyable and productive group experience.
Availability & Capacities…
Due to the popularity of the ranch as a family resort, we must limit our conference/ convention business to September through May. The ranch can comfortably accommodate groups of up to 80 participants.
Meeting Space…
The ranch has a variety of flexible multi-purpose space capable of handling most meeting requirements. The Patio House can accommodate up to 75 participants theatre style or up to 45 classroom style. The Main Lodge offers the Living Room as a gracious space for informal discussion and get-togethers. The adjacent Card Room is just the spot for a small executive conclave. Comfortably decorated suites provide additional space for breakout sessions. In addition, the terraces, lounges and the bar are just right for hospitality and discussion.
More than anything, the ranch specializes in providing that very special environment in which to effectively combine business and pleasure. We are not a large, major convention resort and have no intention of being such, but we can give you the unmatched splendor of the Colorado mountains with the warmth and intimacy of a luxurious guest ranch.

The Ranch…
Situated on over 8000 acres at 8200’ in the Colorado high country, the C Lazy U Ranch offers the finest in guest ranch amenities and then some. The ranch kitchen is noted nationally for the consistent high quality and variety of its offerings. Meals are served family style with folks sitting 10 to a table in a room overlooking a wonderful expanse of mountains and meadows. This comfortable setting provides opportunity for further in-depth interaction. Special events such as cookouts and outdoor breakfasts highlight your stay at the ranch. We are happy to work with you in devising special menus to enhance your group experience.
A string of 180 horses awaits you here at the ranch. Nickering and full of energy, they make quite a sight being brought in off the outlying pastures in the early morning and returned late in the afternoon. Rides amble over spectacular terrain and are especially designed to recognize differences in riding ability. Experienced wranglers make your ride a safe, interesting and exciting experience.
Tennis players enjoy two competition-quality Laykold tennis courts. Tournaments and team-building events can easily be arranged. Shooters compete from our regulation trap range. Instruction and equipment are available.
