Helping
People Find Quality Ranch Vacations
Since 1926. Imagine yourself taking
the best vacation of your life at
a dude ranch. The cool, fresh mountain
air, the open spaces, the feel of
a steady horse beneath you as you
top the next rise... the flash of
color from the dark pool as the
monster trout rises to your offering...luxuriating
in the warmth of the setting sun
as you wait for the dinner bell's
call ... shared time with family
and friends. Any vacation begins
with a fantasy, and a ranch vacation
is no exception. It surely follows
that the closer you can come to
fulfilling your fantasy, the more
satisfying the vacation will be.

The
M-Lazy-C Ranch is a family owned,
working cattle ranch originally
homesteaded by the Thatcher family
almost 100 years ago. We invite
you to be part of our family and
enjoy ranch life as it really is.
Located near Colorado Springs, Denver,
and the front range of the Rockies,
the ranch is an exciting place to
be any season of the year. Springtime
brings with it newborn calves and
wildflowers. Summertime is our busiest
time of the year and a spectacular
time to enjoy the many activities
here at the ranch. Horseback riding,
hay rides with chuck wagon meals,
overnight pack trips, cattle drives,
hiking and just plain relaxation.
There are always ranch chores
for those willing to give it a try.
With the coming of Fall, Colorado’s
Aspen turn the mountain sides into
a golden showcase. The Winter months
provide for cross country skiing
and sleigh rides. No matter which
season is your favorite, we have
activities for you to enjoy all
year long. We look forward to hearing
from you and having you as a guest
here at the ranch. See our web site
for more information.
