M Lazy C Ranch

Set up a horseback riding outing. Extremely accommodating as we kept adding people. The location they took us to was some of the most beautiful scenery around. Lastly the guides Derek, Casey and Monica were helpful, entertaining and very sociable. Even with the rain we had it was a 10/10 trip. If we’re ever back out west, we’d 100% go back.

We planned our visit ahead from West Virginia and online reservations were very easy. We confirmed as the date came closer and had no problems setting up our stay. The staff and wranglers were respectful and very helpful. Fern was very kind and really made us feel welcome upon arrival. Our room was clean and comfortable. There are plenty of activities for all ages on the ranch from horseshoe to horseback riding. The animals on the ranch range from chickens, a bunny, mules, donkeys, cows, and several breeds of horses. Fishing excursions can also be set up with Mr. Larry. The owners Jim and Kelly really go above and beyond for their guest. I especially appreciate the peacefulness and privacy of the ranch. The breakfasts are very tasty but our cabin had a stove and microwave. I highly recommend

We came and stayed a weekend at M Lazy C and had a wonderful time being off the grid and connecting with my family! There was so much to do, horseback riding, atvs, hikes, conversations and quality time. I was a bit nervous when we arrived and got to our cabin, but there was nothing to be nervous about! It was a quaint cabin sufficient for our needs. Down side, walking to the bathroom in the cold, but that was because I picked a cabin and didn’t think about the bathroom! 🤣
I also loved that there was a book in the cabin to allow visitors to write a note, what a great connection idea!
For a city girl, this was a great, relaxing weekend and look forward to future trips!

Such a lovely experience! We had such a great time at M Lazy C ranch! Our kids had a great time. There were lots of fun, planned activities and plenty of beautiful outdoor space to explore. The chuck wagon dinner was such a great experience and the food was delicious! The views are gorgeous and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Everyone makes us feel as if we are apart of the ranching community! This trip was actually our second time back and we cannot wait to plan our third trip.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Our family stayed in the Prospector and Rustler cabin. The staff are so nice and go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The dinner was amazing and very filling. My son and mother enjoyed the 2 hour horse ride. Loved the quiet and peacefulness of this ranch. Would highly recommend!

Such an amazing experience staying at M Lazy C ranch. The horseback rides are one of a kind. The guides are amazing and wicked chill. I definitely recommend requesting Autumn and Kaitlynn as guides if you go horseback riding through the trails/mountains. They are very experienced and know what they’re doing. They’re real nice and easy to get along with. I would rate this an 11/10 experience and would definitely come again. The horses are very easy to ride. I have little to no experience riding horses and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable on them, especially with Autumn and Kaitlynn giving me pointers along the ride.
Thanks again to M Lazy C Ranch for making my stay amazing and one that I’ll always remember!

Amazing views. Great staff. UTV rentals on property. Clean cabins. Trail rides. Horse and dog friendly.

We went to the Chuck Wagon dinner and square dance. A wonderful meal and some old fashioned dancing fun to follow. The staff was great and it was very nice to see the new owner working beside her coworkers. Well done! They offer horseback riding tours and many other events. RV spots and tent camping available all year. I'm looking forward to my next visit and support this local business.

This place was beyond amazing! The staff was super friendly!!! Heather and her boyfriend has went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! Very clean! We will definitely be coming back to stay longer

Miss Yolanda is the best!! This was an AMAZING and INCREDIBLE family experience!! The kids loved everything - from learning to lasso, playing games in the cowboy bunkhouse, riding horses in the arena, feeding the burrow, bunny and chickens (with permission), sledding down a giant hill and watching the real cowboys at work. I truly can't say enough about how much we LOVED our stay!! The cabin exceeded my expectations!! The owners are remarkable people!!

Our daughter was married last weekend at the Ranch. I cannot say enough about how beautiful the venue was and the staff who supported this event! Laura, Kim and Michelle were personable and worked their tails off to make sure her day was perfect! I know there were several others behind the scenes too :) Out of town guests stayed in the cabins and we were in a camping spot with the fifth wheel. My husband commented how nice the guest bathrooms and shower were and he is extremely picky (haha). The food was AMAZING (several people commented how delicious it was!). Thank you, M Lazy C, from this grateful MOB!

My husband and I were on our honeymoon in Co Springs and I really wanted to go horse back riding. We found M Lazy C and thought it was the perfect opportunity to get out of the city for a few hours and see the beautiful horses. Cowboy Tom (w/ Mocha) took us out for an easy joy-ride for an hour. The ranch is beautiful, the scenery is serene, the horses are lovely. Jake and Poker were wonderful! Cowboy Tom had a lot of fun and entertaining stories to tell us along the way. Thank you for fitting us in last minute! We had a really great time!!

We had a wonderful time at M Lazy C Ranch! Laura was welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. We enjoyed horseback riding and the various activities that were offered for the kiddos. Cathy and Ken were wonderful with the children and went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. We highly recommend M Lazy C Ranch for an awesome family getaway!

We spent the weekend camping here and had a great time! All the staff were friendly and great to work with. They took the time to answer our questions. The bathrooms were excellent! We booked an afternoon horseback ride with kids and the guides were excellent! They were patient and helpful with everyone. I look forward to coming back!

The M Lazy C Ranch has a close-knit family vibe, but at the same time plenty of privacy and enough open space to enjoy just being in the mountains.
The cabins are amazingly restored but not overly-done. The bed in our cabin, The Settler, was so comfortable I slept better than I have in years with no tossing and turning. I really enjoyed waking up to the quiet cool mornings and walking around the ranch with my coffee just to take in the beauty of what each new day would bring. Greeting the horses, some still sleeping while others were warming themselves in the rising sun, became another favorite.

This is a place where you meet new and interesting people. The kids made friends and played like they were old buddies meeting together for another year at summer camp. So many things to do and places to explore for all ages: Horseback riding, learning to cast fly rods, tie various knots used in fly fishing, arts and crafts. The kids even had an opportunity to make a real movie just like real cowboys & cowgirls with wardrobe and props too! Gathering together to view the finished movie on the “big screen” was so much fun and enjoyed by all. Ken and Kathy do an amazing job working with everyone to get this treasure produced in such a short time period! No doubt we will be replaying this movie over and over again. Even some of the adults made the outtakes! (They even have a Chuckwagon Dinner and Square Dancing event on Saturday nights. We stayed Sunday through Friday and didn’t get to take part in this tradition, but hopefully we can our next visit!)

The food is amazing and made from scratch! Breakfasts with so many choices and a different variety each day. They keep you full of good food and good conversations. There was even S’mores and a Cowboy Singer during dinner one night.

The entire staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel like they are part of the M Lazy C Ranch family.

We rode horses (wranglers were ALL knowledgeable, safety oriented and great storytellers on trail rides), we took long walks around the property, visited the chickens each morning and evening, met new friends, and even visited other attractions in the area as this ranch is central to ALL we wanted to do/see in the west Colorado Springs area:
• Brown’s Canyon Rafting • Royal Gorge Bridge • Garden of the God’s • Cripple Creek • Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument • Colorado Wolf & Wildlife Center • Pikes Peak.

We hope to return again next year, but we plan to spend most of our time at the ranch itself. However, it’s nice to stay at such a great location where you have the option to do either; stay and play/relax or head out for a day of sightseeing and return to this quiet mountain hideaway.

Kelly and the entire M Lazy C Ranch family, keep up the good work!!! Thanks for being a part of the great memories we were able to make this year. We hope to see you all again next year!

Just finished a week at the M Lazy C’ Homestead cabin. The cabin was incredibly clean, comfortable new beds and everything we needed for a great stay. Wifi worked well which was a prerequisite to stay caught up at work.
The staff was great and accommodated everything we asked for. I would recommend the M Lazy C to anyone looking for authentic mountain cabins with nice accommodations.

We absolutely loved our 3 night weekend camping trip to the M Lazy C Ranch. (June 17-20,2021) My 2 and 5 year old grandkids were busy all day. They learned how to start a camp fire, archery and dressed up and starred in a western movie. We attended the chuck wagon dinner on Saturday and totally enjoyed the food, music and learning to square dance. Every evening at 8:00, we joined the camp host (Laura) and other families for s’mores and bonfire discussion while the kids played together. My daughter and husband participated in the two hour trail ride. They totally enjoyed the ride and scenery. We plan to make this an annual experience for our family to make many more memories.

We camped with our two horses in site 15, excellent site. Recommendation, if you’re horse camping with a LQ trailer, sites 14-15-16 are the best with easiest access. Hookups are all easy, corrals right next to you. Trail access is right out of the camping area. If you’re not familiar with the area you’re going to have to figure the trails out by yourself, mostly ATV, few actual horse trails. Gaia app is what we used, helpful but not a complete picture of the trails. We were there last week so no ATVs were seen (good). Endurance ride training so putting a 15 -20 mile or better ride was a challenge without local knowledge. Autumn was very helpful.

Fly fishing led by Larry was epic, including Wildcat Canyon hike down/up 1000’ to rarely fished waters. Euro nymphing in order there. Followed up by awesome 11 mile canyon trip, hooked some monsters there. Thanks Larry. We’ll be back. Dan

Spent part of Christmas Eve with Kelly and Mike and their staff for a delightful wagon ride, delicious dinner and fun branding activity.
We had out of town guests for the Christmas holiday and this memorable visit just set the tone for an amazing few days together.
The M Lazy C Ranch offers so much and is highly recommended for an experience you’ll always remember fondly.

If you are interested in horses and camping this is the place for you. This old home stead (1906) has the original feel and character of the old west. MANY of the original building still exist. There is horse back trail rides, hiking, fishing and even a chuckwagon dinner on Saturday nights. Most camp site have a pen in the back to keep your horse. FANTASTIC location , WONDERFUL staff and just a great place to be. Just west of Colorado Springs, deep in the mountains <3
