Lazy E-L Guest Ranch - Reviews

I've been to the Lazy E-L twice - once in the early 1980s and again in 2001. Both trips rank among the greatest adventures of my life. The cabins are very comfortable; the hosts treat you better than your own family treats you; the food is wonderful; and the 12,000 acres are...well, there's a reason it's called Big Sky Country. Right at the base of the mountains, the Ranch property seemingly extends to as far as the eye can see. And a river runs through it! There's something for everyone - horseback riding, hiking, hunting, fishing, feeding the cows/goats/etc. or sitting around and reading a good book and just soaking in your surroundings. Your stay can be as active or as lazy as you want it to be. The ranch is just outside a tiny (and I mean tiny) little town called Roscoe - home of the Grizzly Bar (which is as cool as it sounds). The Lazy E-L is a magical place. I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone seeking a vacation that you will remember for the rest of your life!

Almost 20 years a dear friend asked me to go with her on a "ranch" vacation. We visited a few places in Colorado and Arizona and were disappointed. The quality or riding didn't meet our expectations. When we found the Lazy EL over 17 years ago, we knew our dream had come true. The scenery, accommodations and people are spectacular. But, best of all, our dream or being able to ride our horses came true. No nose to tail riding, no doing everything at a walk. We became part of the cattle moving team and learned a lot about cattle work. My dream still comes true on an annual basis as I have returned every summer for the past 17 years, sometimes twice. I will be returning for year 18 in 2012 and my husband is returning for his second go round. That is a dream come true too.
