The Cattle Drive Vacation... The Adventure of a Lifetime
A maximum of 16 guests enjoy the antique, luxury cabins, soft beds, great food, top-notch riding and cattle drives. At the Lazy E-L, you have the opportunity to live and breathe adventure and experience complete relaxation. Marvel at the breathtaking scenery of the Beartooth mountains, fly fish remote mountain rivers, tackle class four white waters, or grab your horse and take out after 3000+ head of cattle. Conde Naste Traveler, the world's premiere travel magazine, selected the Lazy E-L as one of their five best guest ranch picks in America.
The Dude Ranch is the "original" all inclusive family vacation and offers something for everyone. Whether you seek high adventure or majestic solitude, The Lazy E-L Guest Ranch provides the ultimate escape. After 110 years and 4 generations, today the Lazy E-L remains an historic, authentic working cattle ranch providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life for corporate executives, politicians, prominent families and folks who love the West. And that ain't just talk.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans rode here, Robert Redford has paid a visit. Famous western artist Charlie Russell signed the mantle in the Russell Cabin over a shared bottle of whiskey with Mr. Mackay. They came for the unprecedented privacy, quiet and beauty that only 12,000 acres outside of Yellowstone can offer. Now, it's your turn! Experience the magic of The Lazy E-L Guest Ranch.
An Authentic Montana Cattle Drive Experience
If horseback riding, being part of a cattle drive, and enjoying the magnificent scenery of the Montana high country is what you dream of, the Lazy E-L is the clear choice for you. Montana's big skies, and an unforgettable vacation in the intimate privacy of the Lazy E-L is just what the doctor ordered! Throw on yer boots, mount up and head out as we gather strays, sort bulls, and manage the daily cattle drives. Our guests tell us time and time again that helping gather and move 2,650 yearlings from one pasture to the next on a cattle drive is one of the most rewarding and exciting experiences they've ever had. We're pretty sure you'll think so too!
Once settled in to your cabin, mosey down to the corral and meet your new partner...your horse! We'll show you how to tack, groom and care for your partner. At the end of your adventure filled day, untack your horse, see to his needs, then head to the cook house for a well deserved, hearty, home cooked meal.
For your comfort and privacy we book small groups and treat them as family. Unlike traditional dude ranches, this cattle ranch does not cater to large groups. You won't find a single nose-to-tail trail horse ride anywhere on the Lazy E-L.
