As mentioned, the Lazy E-L Ranch is not your typical dude ranch or resort. For your comfort and privacy, we book just one or two groups at a time and we treat them like our family. What a great family vacation spot or retreat. You won't find twenty-five-person trail rides, string quartets, or wine tasting. You will find friendly people operating a real cattle ranch in a beautiful mountain setting. As a guest ranch, we provide comfortable accommodations in historic cabins, your own horse, tack, wrangler and meals for your week-long stay. Just bring a wide-brimmed hat, boots, and a hearty sense of adventure.

Once you are up and horseback riding, you're welcome to come along as we wrangle horses, doctor calves, ship heifers, and perform daily ranch chores. At night, you'll enjoy the taste of home-cooking before retiring to bed. If breathing in the nostalgia of the west is the only workout you want, relax, put your boots up, and leave the work to us. The Lazy E-L offers spectacular hikes, fishing, and acres of peace and quiet in which to read a good book. We're also close to Yellowstone National Park and Red Lodge, a small community with shops and fine restaurants, and two spectacular rivers to trout fish or float.

Many of us here at the Lazy E-L have traveled to various parts of the world, but we all agree that the most beautiful place is right here, in our backyard.
