Located in the beautiful Tarryall Valley with scenic historic preservation sites along the winding picturesque byway, Lazy River Ranch is a working hay and cattle ranch.

The large house provides space for large groups to come together in one place. The kitchen is stocked with the essentials for cooking large meals and eating together. The gas grill outside helps you grill and enjoy the view. Basic kitchen items are stocked for your use such as oil, salt and pepper.
Enjoy quiet morning coffee from the kurieg (bring your pods) in the screened porch off the front door or on the morning patio overlooking the fields.

During the summer months the river provides tranquility and endless hours of fun for all ages. Tubing and kayaking down the river is one of our favorite passtimes! Tarryall reservoir is ten minutes away with options to paddle board, fish, catch crawfish, kayak. A group of pelicans makes their home at the reservoir every year and bald eagles dive and catch fish in front of your eyes.

Lazy River is also a well-stocked premier fly-fishing paradise. The RMAC leases the river from the owner. If you wish to fish, arrangements can be made at the time of booking for day passes. Passes cost $35/per person per day. If your group is more than 4 or you wish to play in the river and tube then block of the river is $140/day. 24' rainbow trout are not uncommon nor is the sighting of large elk, deer, moose and big horn sheep. The elk and deer come down to the river in late evening or early morning to drink. A skillful hunter will even see wild turkey and sage grouse. At 8,800 to 9,000', the 160 acre ranch backs to the Lost Creek Wilderness and offers spectacular views from hiking trails that can take you up to 12,000' in elevation. The ranch house - completed in 2008 - is beloved by the owners for its location and beauty.

The river is 1¼ miles of stream, bordered by some willows winding through irrigated hay meadows in a gently rolling valley bottom. You will hear coyotes and owls at night as you star gaze at a sky where you will clearly see the Milky Way and more stars than you knew existed. There is an outdoor fireplace to keep you warm and for roasting marshmallows. After just a day or two you will feel like you have finally gotten that long-needed rest. As your cares melt away you will see the world in a whole new light - come visit and discover!

It's an easy 85 mile drive South West of Denver or 60 miles North West of Colorado Springs. Ask for directions when you make your reservation. Its a great home base for day trips to Eleven Mile, Fairplay, Buena Vista (this is over an hour), lake George, Florissant (the museum of petrified trees is amazing!),

    The stay was peaceful and relaxing. The house and area were beautiful.My husband had to work some of the time, and he said the Internet connection was stable and fast (which was a concern for us before we arrived).Our kids and dogs also greatly enjoyed the open spaces and river.There were anglers in the river some of the time, but they were nice and respectful. One of them even help us find out dog when she decided to explore too far.The owner was also helpful and quick to respond to any question we had.I would recommend to bring bug spray, and groceries at least for the first day, because the nearest grocery store is 40 min drive (the price to pay for true peace and quiet)

    We love coming back to this wonderful spot. It has become a place we love to come back to with our grown children and their families. The scenery.is lovely, the house has everything we need. The stream is an added bonus, with lovely hiking and exploring. The host could not be better. In short, we love this place and all that it has to offer. It is out of the way, so it is important to think about what supplies you will need. There are some basic supplies within 30 minutes of the house. When we leave, we can't wait to think about our next visit.

    This was our third time visiting the property, and our family had another amazing time. The house has more than enough space for a few families, and the children loved the kid's bedrooms and bunk areas. We spent time hanging out on the patio, exploring the property, hiking around the forest land, and of course excellent fishing in the river. It was a bit overgrown and buggy for kids to enjoy the river, so we may have to find another time to come back in the fall. Tarryall reservoir is right down the road, as is another wonderful park with great trails. Overall, you can't beat the seclusion of the property and number of activities.

    This is our third time staying at Lazy River Ranch - this time with the other side of our family. It was so fun to go in the fall and thankfully the weather cooperated and was warm and beautiful. We fished a lot, hiked, flew kites, and explored. This is one of our kids’ favorite places to visit (ours too). We will look forward to returning again!

    The facility was a little funky and somewhat quirky. Old range and older refrigerator that froze our eggs. But, it was clean, well accessorized, homey and comfortable. Its location is amazing. The vistas are stunning. Tarryall Creek was fun to fish. All and all, we had a terrific time.

    If you’re a fly fisherman, this is the type of property you dream about! A secluded cabin with the Tarryall Creek winding it’s way through the hay meadows. Incredibly peaceful with wonderful fishing! A true gem and one of our favorite places to visit. Will definitely be back.

    We have stayed at this property many times, and each time is more special than the last. We love the location, the roomy house, and the beautiful scenery. This is an ideal property for families or two families. The location is a tad remote so bring your supplies.If you forget something, it is a beautiful drive to nearby towns.
