From my initial inquiry until the day we checked out, our host Asya was incredibly accommodating, helpful, responsive, and patient. I was planning a last-minute family reunion for a large group ranging in age from 15 months to 73 years. I booked all 5 homes on the Ranch for a full week, and we had some special requests; for example, my mom is in a wheelchair and our host Asya coordinated with her onsite manager (the amazing and incomparable Enrique) to ensure access would not be an issue - they measured doorways, checked clearance around beds, and even built a custom ramp so that my mom could easily enter the main home. After initial booking, Asya and I remained in touch and she continued to impress with lightning-quick and accommodating responses. Example: we had a family member who needed to drop off items early on our check-in day, and Asya and Enrique made this easy... During our stay, everyone in my group enjoyed the homes, the pool, and the animals on the property (5 horses, 20+ goats, chickens, ducks, and the coolest burro any of us have ever encountered - so much personality!). The weather was warm, so the pool and the air conditioning units (there are at least two in every unit) got lots of use. Asya checked in regularly but without being intrusive to ensure things were going smoothly and to make sure we were having a great stay. When issues arose - there was a pool/pump issue one day and a TV issue another - Enrique (onsite) and Asya (remote) coordinated a quick response and we were back up and running in short order... Other highlights: a challenging and fun hike/scramble area out the back door, a fire pit (Enrique set up a great fire on our arrival day and we all enjoyed s'mores), large common areas for group dining, proximity to the aerial tramway (less than 5 miles) and town (for a grocery run), and the soundtrack of ranch living. The Lazy C Ranch is not luxury, 5-star accommodations, but if you're reading this, that is not what you are looking for. What the Ranch does offer is the kind of place and experience that's not easy to find any more, and I strongly encourage you to get there while you still can! All in all, we were very pleased and we left with wonderful memories, photos, videos, and stories that we will cherish for years and years. I am grateful to Asya and Enrique for their kindness and for the welcome they extended to my family and me, and I hope to return someday.
