Leave the modern world behind at the Bar Lazy J in Parshall, Colorado. The world looks different from the back of a horse. You also feel like a different person when you're actually back on the ground! This guest ranch is a lliving, breathing link to the past. Here, the horse is king, especially when it's a mare!

There isn't much that I can add that hasn't already been mentioned in previous reviews. I can say, however, that before I booked my trip I read every single review. Just so I knew was I was getting myself into. You can't really put into words what an experience at the ranch will do for you. If you are concerned... More

People ask how many times we've been here, but we are beginning to lose track! We just returned from what is probably our 12th trip to the ranch. This year was the 100th Birthday for the ranch. This was one of the best trips we have had to the ranch. We both LOVED our horses, spent time with old friends... More

A stay at the Bar Lazy J guest ranch is truly a unique experience—the kind that lingers in your memory long after you’ve returned home. The natural beauty, serenity, good food, and great people all make for an exceptionally enjoyable stay. This is one of those reviews I’m reluctant to write—because the Bar Lazy J is SO outstanding that I’m... More

This is our eighth visit to the Bar Lazy J and each time it just gets better and better. Over the years, we took our sons to the ranch each summer to spend time without electronics and to become good at horseback riding. Now for the first time, we returned without our children (who have grown up) and we enjoyed... More

We just got back from the Bar Lazy J. This was the best vacation I have ever had as an adult. My wife and I arrived at the ranch on Sunday afternoon and we did not see our rental car until the next Sunday. We had no desire at any time to leave the ranch. Your every need is taken... More

The Bar Lazy J gets better every year. This was our fourth year and somehow we see more and different areas every year. The staff is outstanding and well trained in all areas. We have been there four years in a row and have reservations for next year and hopefully beyond. They offer about four different horse rides every day... More

This is the best choice in "Dude" ranches. We vacationed here with our family and friends. Although the drive to the rance is a long one, once you get there, the drive is well worth it. There is never a dull moment at the Bar Lazy J, with scheduled trail rides for every level of rider twice a day. You... More
