Hotels Own Introduction
a colorado tradition
Whether you’re a family of city newcomers or seasoned riders, a stay at one of the nation’s most celebrated historic dude ranches is an experience that brings everyone together. C Lazy U, an all-inclusive, year-round guest ranch in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, blends high-class amenities with authentic, down-to-earth adventures.
family adventures
From toddlers to teens, our Summer Kids and Teens Program introduces younger guests to the magic of ranch life while giving adults the freedom to create their own pace. A full schedule of activities is offered daily, yet families are equally welcome to roam and explore the ranch on their own terms.
luxury cabins
Tucked into the scenic landscape of Granby, Colorado, our spacious luxury cabins pair rustic charm with refined comfort. Most feature stone fireplaces, western-inspired décor, and personal touches that make every stay feel like home—yet with the privacy and quietude of a mountain retreat.
elevated dining
C Lazy U has reimagined the classic “home on the range” dining tradition. Guests gather indoors or outdoors over cocktails and appetizers as our Chef crafts daily original creations—wholesome, decadent, and deeply satisfying. The aromas, flavors, and shared moments naturally create a sense of home and family.
