“Wonderful trip, we hope to come back again!”

Reviewed August 28, 2011

"We had a great time! The scenery was spectacular, the wranglers were helpful in every way and the food and rooms were great. We had a great time at the square dance and the rodeo. We were proud of the men from our group who came in 4th in the steer event . I would gladly take this trip again and again. Thank you for a great week"!!!

From one of the Florida 9ers!

Adults find their "inner child" out here!

Early season tends to have more adults, even if there might be some families, there is plenty of adult time. Adults always ride with adults and enjoy a nice" Happy Hour" & sit down dinner a few nights a week.

The years may pass, but friends are forever!

If there are families, the kids are usually off hanging with the wranglers and new found friends, so it really is a wonderful environment for all. If you just have to have that special adult time only, we offer adult only weeks Aug 26 - Sept 1 & Sept 2 - 8.

“As delightful as always, after all these years”

"It was great to have the opportunity to revisit Lazy L&B again briefly. We began coming to Lazy L&B about 20 years ago, stayed there 4 times when our children were young, and return whenever we have the opportunity. As parents from a big city, it was invaluable to have a vacation where our children could play without the hour-by-hour programming of summer camp (although the supervision was always great) and enjoy being free outdoors all day riding, hiking, swimming, or just roaming. The same could be said for us parents too! The kids always enjoyed the square dance in town.The food is excellent, and the accommodations are true west--rustic, but very clean. I've noticed several improvements in the property over the years, BUT....

there's no improving on the staggering landscape".

“Amazing Vacation!!!”

Reviewed October 3, 2011

I’m still flying high on the memories of my week spent at the Lazy L&B. The staff was warm, welcoming, attentive, respectful and just a lot of fun in general. The cabins were great, the lodge was rustic and authentic. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. I appreciated that the staff takes the time to match riders with the horses and that you ride the same horse each day. I also appreciated that they took the time each day to see how each rider was feeling and discuss the plans for the next day. Each ride was different and the scenery was magnificent.

I was so impressed with the condition of the horses and how they were handled by all of the L&B staff. Oftentimes when you go on trail rides the horses are not well kept and are not treated very well. It’s very obvious that everyone on the ranch cares about and respects the horses. It really touched me to see how each horse was handled gently and with kindness and respect.

"This was an absolutely wonderful vacation and I hope to go back again one day."

(Kind words from one of our guests, taken from TripAdvisor)

Well, perhaps it is not so wild as in the old westerns, but when out here it is easy to lose track of time!

What a wonderful way to spend such a splendid afternoon.

It's Just What I Needed.

For so many of us, no matter what part of the world we live in, winter brings with it the "blahs". Days are short and it seems workdays are longer! Thoughts and "daydreams" turn to springtime.....and vacation.

Imagine if you will, waking up to the sounds of "nothingness", having a cup (or 2) of hot coffee in front of a roaring fire in our lodge where hundreds of others have gathered before: guests, and staff members too, from around the world. Enjoying a hearty breakfast of fresh fruit, hot homemade coffee cakes, hot cereals or order from our kitchen! Our breakfast cook always has a special treat planned & we encourage you to bring a hearty appetite. No diets here ladies, you will need those extra calories!

The head wrangler comes around to find out "What would you folks like to do today"?....and the plans are made, so let's "mount up and ride"!

June & early July are amazing times to be in our country. It's just turning spring and nature is offering up the opportunity to witness her rebirth! Wildflowers are blooming, the mountains are still capped in pure white and each ride brings the chance to see Elk, Moose & Bighorn Sheep with their young.

The ranch is surrounded by protected habitat which makes it more likely to see these magnificent animals in their natural environment!

Have you ever seen wild horses running across a mesa?

A sight you will not soon forget if you are lucky enough to witness it.

Come visit us and experience a way of life that is steeped in tradition and adventure. A step back in time to simplicity, relaxation and grand memories.

Keeping Traditions Alive

2012-01-28T08:03:00.000-08:00

We find that, so many times, people "assume" you go to a Dude Ranch, spend a few days riding horses and go home, only ocassionally thinking about what they did. Our experience over the last 20 years shows guests what we are already blessed to know.

A Dude Ranch vacation is something that gets in your blood and makes you want to come back year after year. For some, it is a life-changing experience.

Folks arrive here on Sunday as strangers, but by Saturday morning, strong frienships have formed, plans to meet back here next year are already in the works and (our favorite)...kids don't want to go to Disney World!!!! They want to come back here. They are curious about us and ask questions like "how can I get a job here" or "I would love to be a Wrangler"! What a far cry from the modern, electronic world we live in. After one day they forget about TV's, IPads, Internet & all the other things that draw them into that world. Instead they are up and out the door at 7AM to help saddle their horses, they eat hardy breakfasts with their families, they learn, they soak up nature, they ride, they ask a "gazillion" question, THEY keep US entertained,... and they too make lifelong friends. They reconnect with the most fundamental elements we grew up with. Strong family ties & nature!
We are proud of be a part of the Dude Ranchers Association and to continue offering this special vacation of a lifetime. We support our young people and encourage them to follow in our footsteps to keep this way of life strong and growing. What better way than to make sure that the future generations are well educated!
We hope you will help us, too. because either way (or, if you're lucky) BOTH ways, this is a WIN- WIN for all of us...

Win a Week stay for 2 at the Lazy L&B Ranch!
Help support today’s kids college education & keep dude ranching history alive!!
Raffle ticket proceeds go to:
The Dude Ranchers Educational Trust Scholarship and Heritage Center$20 ea. or 6 for $100
Drawing will be April 1st

Is It REALLY Almost Over?

2011-09-06T11:11:00.000-07:00

Cooler temperatures over the last couple of weeks have made me stop and ask myself just that question! My, where did the summer go? The mornings are crisp, with frost in the meadow. More than a few of the guests have asked about extra blankets and checking out their room heaters! Today we were blessed with some light rain in the morning but now the sun is coming out and I look forward to a beautiful afternoon. It is nice to hear the few brave souls who dared the showers this morning to ride come back and say "IT WAS GORGEOUS". That's the thing about really loving to ride, you enjoy it rain or shine!
With only a few more days left in our season it will be sad to walk away from our favorite horse (mine being "Carlos") , but they have certainly earned the long winter break that lies ahead.
Again we are so grateful for the wonderful guests that shared time with us this summer and hope our paths cross again. But...just because our season is winding down that does not mean we will be "slackin' " in our jobs.....we are looking forward to our last week of guests and "going out w/a bang" !!

A Win & a Baby!!

2011-08-14T12:27:00.000-07:00

Life at a dude ranch is never boring. Whether it be happenings on property or off!!
Last week we had three "older" gentlemen who bravely entered the "Dude Ranch Calf Scramble" at the Dubois Rodeo. Proudly representing the ranch (& themselves) they accepted the challenge of competing against the younger crowd and came in at 3rd place against 8 other teams.
For their first time EVER doing something like this, and considering they are no longer in their youth (sorry guys), this was quiet an accomplishment.!!

And this week we had the "Donofrio Trio" bring home 1st place at the same event. We expected no less from these 3 strapping young men and they did not disappoint! With a time of less than 40 seconds, this was also their first time doing a calf scramble and they tackled it like pros....

Every week we have the great pleasure of having our friend Lindsey (Windy Ridge Photography) come out and take beautiful pictures of our guests! This last week (& probably for the remainder of the summer) she missed because she, along w/husband Joel & "big sister" Ashlyn, welcomed Zoe Rose...another beautiful little girl.
We are SO happy for them and can't wait to meet her in person!

Zoe Rose 7 lbs. 9 oz. 20"

In Mom's words "perfect".....we agree Lindsey!!

Our Wranglers Are Many Things

2011-07-31T11:17:00.000-07:00

Ranch life brings to it a very diverse group of people, as my previous blogs have shown. But sometimes even WE are surprised at some of the "underlying" talents shown by our staff...

Can you guess who our "Ninja" Wrangler is??

This is for our guests/ friends to answer, so ranch staff.....SSSHHHHHHHHHH

Saying' "see ya' later".......

2011-07-27T19:10:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday we had to say those words to Head Wrangler, Shannan Hitch. She has moved on to a new career as a Kindergarten Teacher and we are all thrilled for her! Knowing that her love of the ranch and horses (& US) will bring her back as often as possible makes her leaving a bit easier!
Good Luck "Ms. Hitch"....those kiddos are very lucky to have you.
And at the same time we are VERY glad to have Wrangler Ross Ketchum step up to the plate and take over as the new Head Wrangler! Having been here for 3 years now we can guarantee this man knows his business!
Also leaving us tomorrow is our friend Robyn Williams. She wanted to continue her experiences here in the "wild west", but family takes her back to Ohio. Thanks to you too Robyn....we will miss you and your never ending supply of "does anyone have......" :)
Safe travels friend!

Wonderful Wyoming Wildlife

We have been very fortunate this year to see some amazing herds of Elk, Deer & Antelope. Occassionally, we do have a Moose or two on the property. And then sometimes, we are really lucky....
This handsome guy was found grazing (unfortunately not here) but at the Teton Nat'l. Park last Saturday.

We just had to share!

Lee, Bob & the rest of us!!

2011-07-21T15:58:00.000-07:00

Bob, Lee (& Piper) Naylon...owners of the ranch for about 19 years now. We can't get them to sit still long enough to get a recent picture, but that's ok, because that's what makes your stay special. All of us on the go taking care of the details.

They are available 24/7, every day of the year to visit with folks and help you in any way they can to make your ranch vacation the best it can be!

....and then there's me...Annette, Ranch Manager & sometimes "blogger". I am from Texas and have traveled to Colorado, Montana, Arizona, Wyoming & Texas working on ranches, but none compare to the love I have for the L&B. 2011 marks my 3rd year w/them & the friendships I have made with the remarkable staff & guests over the years have truly blessed me.

Our Super Crew of 2011 (final "chapter")...well, maybe !

2011-07-19T19:27:00.000-07:00

Max, our friend of many years, is always willing to help out when asked. Not only an experienced horseman(where he will ride just about anywhere, as the picture cleary shows), he is also very knowledgeable in the history of the Dubois area. For those lucky enough to ride with him, it will be an experience you will not soon forget :) Thanks Max...we appreciate you!

We jokingly posted on our Facebook page that "if you hope to lose weight this summer while here, forget it"!! Little did we know that those words would be very true. Head Chef, Christopher Correnti (Oregon) (above) and Sous Chef Mike Bales (Washington) (below) continually suprise us with the dishes they make. They have taken "down home ranch cooking" to a whole new level and have "educated the taste buds" of a lot of us staff members! They go out of their way to make sure that even guests w/special dietary needs are well taken care of. And if you want any of their recipes, just ask....they are always happy to share.

OH....one more thing, these guys are not just great "cooks"....ask Mike about fly fishing! And if you are real lucky, you may just catch Chris on the piano sometimes. Divine!!

Our Super Crew of 2011 (part 2)....

2011-07-17T15:47:00.000-07:00

See this happy face.....this is Mindy Musselman (housekeeper extraordinaire)! Yes, she is usually this happy and we appreciate her hard work, positive attitude & dedication to every task that is asked of her. Originally from Indiana, she has a lot of "ranch work" under her belt and intends to make Arizona her home. Lucky Arizona :)

Lyndsey Stull comes to us from Ohio! An accomplished horsewoman and Wrangler, this is her first year at the L&B. Witty, fun loving and dedicated, she fits right in to our ranch family and we are glad she is here!

Piper Naylon has spent most of her life here on the ranch (& in the saddle) and enjoys sharing her love of the country with guests! Her love of horses has transferred into the rodeo arena where she barrel races, among other things! Humm....wonder if running the ranch after school/college is in the works for her?

Robyn Williams is here "living a dream" to live & work on a dude ranch! She fills in just about anywhere and if you need anything, believe me, she has it! We still wonder how she got all of that stuff in her Jeep! We appreciate her hard work and dedication!

Cousins Hopie Feek & Magen Gary will delight you with their Southern (Tennessee) Hospitality, they keep our dining room shining with their quick smiles and warm laughter! Music and family are very important to these ladies...qualities that serve them well here!

(to be continued.....)

Our Super Crew of 2011 (part 1)

2011-07-14T20:16:00.000-07:00

Knowing that we cannot make our ranch run without the hard work and dedication of staff, we want to introduce those who are responsible for your amazing ranch stay!

Back for her 6th year is Head Wrangler, Shannan Hitch! A Florida gal who moved to Wyoming and fell in love w/the state, she is now a full time resident and a 1st year school teacher. Always happy and devoted to her job, the ranch AND the horses, she makes every day brighter!

Ross Ketchum, Wrangler & Packer, came to us in 2008 from Oregon. The "strong, silent" type, he has a wandering spirit and a love of the outdoors and has proven to be a great asset to us. Not to mention that all the ladies just love to dance with him (although he will tell you that he does not know how).

Claire Thomas is our peppy little friend originally from Wales. She has, more than anyone we know, the biggest of "wanderlust spirits". Her travels include Africa, New Zealand, Ghana, etc...but she will tell you that her most favorite place in the world is right here at the Lazy L&B! And she is pretty darn good w/the horses, too!

Mike Ioffredo, a city boy from Boston, first came here when he was 13 with his family on vacation. He was hooked! Writing letters to us, he finally convinced us that he could be a good ranch hand. After 5 years, he has established himself as not only a valuable asset around the ranch but was promoted to Wrangler last year!

Tony Doan...aka "Yogi", is our Maintainance Man from Minnesota! He keeps us laughing with his quick wit & antics and is always eager to help anyone out, be it guest or fellow staff member. He loves to blog and is determined to video blog his summer here w/us! But he stays soooo busy he may not get it ALL in!

A Memorable Day on the Ranch

2011-06-12T19:19:00.000-07:00

There is something addictive about the Lazy L&B Ranch – something about the scenery, the horses, the people, or the slow pace of life – that draws you back time and time again. I spent three consecutive summers wrangling on the Lazy L&B Ranch, and during that time, I rode with returning guests summer after summer, some of whom had been visiting the ranch for over a decade. Everyone has his or her own reasons for returning year after year; it would be a real struggle for me to condense mine down to a sole reason. However, I can share one of the most incredible, memorable days of my life, which happened at the Lazy L&B Ranch:

My second summer wrangling on the Lazy L&B Ranch, a fellow former wrangler and I had heard rumors about the wild horses living on Wild Horse Mesa, but we had yet to see them on our Friday morning mesa rides throughout the summer. As the summer waned and the mornings became cooler, one especially cold morning, we saw dark spots on the mesa which look larger than the deer or elk we’d seen up there before, and wondered if they could be the elusive wild horses. We swallowed our breakfast whole, ran for the corrals, saddled quickly and in no time, we were riding towards the mesa.

We reached the top of the mesa – an expansive, flat, seemingly endless grassland, towering above the ranch valley and surrounded by the snow-capped peaks of the Absoroka and Wind River mountains ranges. We scanned the area, but saw no horses. We spread out a little and headed towards the backside of the mesa, where it steeply declines to the rolling bentonite hills of the Wind River Indian Reservation. I squinted in the bright morning sun, and was beginning to feel a twinge of disappointment when I heard my fellow wrangler yell, “fresh manure!” I trotted over to her and sure enough, there was a steaming pile of horse manure surrounded by unshod tracks.

We followed the tracks as they wrapped around the backside of the mesa. We found another pile of manure, then another, they were getting fresher and fresher. We then came across a mud hole, with still-wet mud splattered around the sides. With bated breath, we continued to follow the tracks and after walking over a slight rise, we rode right up on them - twenty, or so, horses of every shape, age and color, quietly grazing between the sagebrush. Catching wind of our scent, one by one, they lifted their heads and rotated their ears in our direction. A brief moment later, they collectively took off, sprinting down the mesa slope. With a quick nod from Lauren, we urged our horses to follow them. We ran after them, dodging sagebrush and jumping gullies. Before long, our horses tired and slowed, we came to a halt and watched the group of wild horses continue to run, down the mesa slope and into the mountain meadows, until they were out of

sight.

My fellow wrangler and I turned and rode back down to the ranch in silence, exhausted from the adrenaline and in awe of the incredible beauty and stamina of the wild horses and rugged Wyoming country. We returned to the ranch, unsaddled our horses and began our workday.

Visit the Lazy L&B Ranch today and with any luck, you may ride up on wild horses yourself!

Windy Wild Horse Mesa Riding.

2011-05-20T19:14:00.000-07:00

Rebecca on Dude, on Wild Horse Mesa, aka 'The Friday Ride.'

I'm one of them, one of the lucky souls on planet earth who is forever changed by my riding experiences at the Lazy L&B Ranch in Dubois Wyoming. I am fortunate enough to have lived and worked, and most recently even honeymooned at the Lazy L&B. I have been blessed by the people, the horses, the land, and the wind of my wild Wyoming. I have a plethora of experiences as varied as the wildflowers in the spring to share, but have chosen to concentrate on a particular windy ride for my first contribution to this blog.

The Friday Ride Up to Wild Horse Mesa.

Here's what the riding does to you, at least some of what it did to me. Once you visit and ride, you can tell me what it did to you in your own words. For me it forever fused two intrinsic elements of my core happiness, horses and landscapes to the wind. I hail from the Green Mountain State more commonly known as Vermont. We have mountains and horses, and even wind, but the mountains and the wind in Wyoming, paired with the riding ruined me in the loveliest of ways. Every time the wind blows where ever I am now, I can't help but think about that wind in Wyoming. I hope I can smell the sage brush mixed with leather oils. The wind in Wyoming did something to me, it hardened me, it softened me, it loved me and fulfilled me. So while you're riding on Wild Horse Mesa you will feel this wind against your body, you will hold your hat on your head, if you haven't invested in Stampede Strings (you can purchase them at the store right on the ranch, which I suggest you do), and you will be amazed that something so invisible has such a presence.

Vista from the Friday Ride up to Wild Horse Mesa.

Okay, enough of my windy diatribe, Here's a more black and white explanation of the Friday ride up Wild Horse Mesa. You head to the corral in the morning, you meet your faithful equine companion, and you eagerly chat with all the wonderful friends you've made throughout the week. You may even choose to get some pictures taken by the professional photographer who comes to the ranch on Friday. Once everyone is set you'll follow your wrangler (who at this point is someone you'll most likely exchange Christmas cards with for the coming years), and settle into the poetic walking rhythm of your horse. You'll cross the East Fork river and feel your connection with the land, the West, and your excitement as you head through the sage brush. Somewhere beyond a green gate you'll start your ascent to the Wild Horse Mesa. You'll climb Bentonite Hills, you'll catch glimpse of Antelope, loping over steep terrain. You'll hear your horse's strong breaths as they stoically carry you closer to heaven then you've ever been. The pounding of your heart and the amazement of your soul will be warmed by the sun on your face. And before you know it, you'll be on top of the world, on top of Wild Horse Mesa, looking at the Wind River Mountains, looking at Big Diddy A and Little Diddy A. You'll see the Shoshoni National Forest. All places you'll have already ridden, and from one Mesa in the middle of Wyoming you'll have realized your life is much closer to complete. And if you're really fortunate, you'll see the wild horses for which the Mesa is named, as the wind tousles their tails against their strong flanks, you'll forever remember the ride up Wild Horse Mesa.

A Green Gate that Will Lead You to the Mesa.

So that's a quick synopsis of the Friday ride up to the Mesa. Don't just trust me, come to Wyoming and validate for yourself everything I've mentioned. I swear to you, you'll never feel the wind on your face again, without thinking of that wind, that Wyoming wind. And the riding, the horses, the people, the food, the laughter, the silence, and the stars, but those are all subjects for another post, I'm still thinking about all my Friday rides.

A Note From The Ranch Manager...

2011-05-10T10:44:00.000-07:00

What was I thinking!

I left Texas to adventure out to the "Wild West", for a summer of work at the Lazy L&B. Night came quicker than I had expected and I was tired. I had traveled 1,300 + miles, alone, over a two-day period and I wanted a friendly face and a warm meal.

Instead, I was going down a washboard road in total darkness in the middle of nowhere.

Turning back was certainly not an option, and I wondered if I would ever find the turnoff to the ranch. Cell phone service had been lost a few miles back, so that was not an option either. At the end of my patience, there it was....that wonderfully welcome sign "Lazy L&B ". I had almost passed it up in the darkness.

I turned into the drive and just as I crossed the cattle guard, I saw the abyss....blackness. NO. A leap of faith and I continued on and made my way DOWN the switchback road to the ranch.

I walked into the main lodge where dinner was well under way. A crackling fire was going in the fireplace; guests and staff were enjoying their meal and the company of each other. I sat down to a cup of hot coffee and thus, my love affair with this remarkable place started.

I cannot say what one thing makes this ranch so special to me. The guests that come from all over the world and leave as friends, the countryside that is ever changing, the tranquility that surrounds you when you take the time to just sit and soak it in... Or perhaps, the amazing staff that I have had the pleasure and the privilege of working with.

We are friends, family even in a way that most couldn't understand. We come from Oregon, Louisiana, Wales, Florida, Minnesota....all over the world. We ride, hike, swim, travel, cook, eat, laugh, rodeo, square dance, get thrown in the "goose pond" on our birthdays....we love our "job", our life at the ranch, and we love to share that with others.

I have traveled many miles since that night three years ago, and I have worked at other ranches. But, none of them are the same. Now, when I think of that "washboard road" (which we always hope is smoother) I am excited. I long for the ranch and the new adventures and friends to be made. I long for my "ranch home"...

You'd Better Believe It

2011-04-29T08:03:00.000-07:00

I was talking with a friend last night about the Lazy L&B Ranch. My friend was puzzled as to why I think of my “former employers” as something more like “family” when they “made” me work 14-hour days, live in a tiny, rustic cabin with three other girls plus a dog, all for a humble paycheck and one day off a week.

I wrangled at the ranch for two seasons, I explained, and from those summers at the ranch, I have some of my greatest memories and fantastic stories to take with me for the rest of my life.

Who cares that I lived in an old cabin? I was surrounded by the most glorious and stunning country I have ever had the privilege of exploring on horseback. Sure, some days were long, but at the end of those days, I walked 50 yards from my front door to fly fish in the unspoiled East Fork river or hop on a horse for a ride in the cool evening air. There’s an entire industry devoted to trying to reproduce that air in the form of candles and air fresheners.

There are no pretenses at the ranch – guests and wranglers sit around the same campfires and tell the stories from the day’s ride. Truthfully, I don’t know why we call them guests to begin with because at the ranch, no one is a stranger for very long. I still keep in touch with guests on Facebook and call one of those three girls from that cabin my current roommate. These are the details that set the Lazy L&B apart.

I’ve worked for three different ranches – all located in the unique and still very wild West. By no means would I consider myself an “expert,” but I will say I am an informed unbiased source.

The riding at the Lazy L&B Ranch is unbeatable. Just ask any guest or any past or present employee – they’ll tell you just how breathtaking and fun it is.

I know that for as long as my “former employers” are around, I will always have a place to hang my hat at the Lazy L&B Ranch. That’s the kind of people that you consider to be more like “family.”

Wrangling is not a money-making business. Dude ranching in general isn’t either. So why do people do it? It’s those memories and friends we make that keep us coming back. We’re gluttons for punishment, I guess.

Not convinced? Book your reservation or request a brochure and see for yourself.
