Review of Lazy L&B What a great week we had at the Lazy L&B. It was a bucket list trip for my wife and it did not disappoint. Fantastic food, service and vistas. We had never been to Wyoming, or even that part of the country for that matter. We were in awe of the wide open spaces, snow capped mountains and everything in between. Such a beautiful region. My wife did her research and thought the Lazy L&B would perfect for us. And it was! Deb, Jason and family provide great service. It is adorable with a small "lodge" and adorable cabins. You can truly recharge while being unplugged. No TVs to be found and only WiFi is at the lodge. The other guests were great to get to know and you knew this place must have something special when we found out six guests were returnees and so happy to be back. Chris and Mary have come the first week(s) of June every year for over a decade! Chef Beau was fantastic with great food every day. Loved the Bison filet and steak campfire BBQ. Great set of wranglers are brought in each summer. And we could not imagine a better group than what we had the first week of June. The highlight was the horse rides through the beautiful Wyoming countryside. Up and down mountainsides and through gorgeous valleys. My wife rode all 6 days, including the midweek 8 hour ride! Deb and Jason make it a true family feel all week. Very accommodating to any needs and truly concerned for any issue you may have. When we had family dinners it was truly a family. All wranglers, workers, guests, Deb, Jason and family would dine and visit together. Great bonding experience for everyone at the Lazy L&B. Great week! So much so we booked for next year!! read more

Truly an unforgettable experience...Had a great time coming here for a solo trip. From the moment I got out of the car where I was greeted by the owner to when I said goodbye and got back in my car at the end of the week I felt safe. One side note I was really surprised they didn't have locks on the cabins but from the get go it was like a small village feel and everyone including the staff were all so friendly and helpful. Horse rides were offered everyday. We went up and down the steep hills and felt totally taken care of by the wranglers. The views were spectacular. The food was delectable and the entertainment was great. read more

Perfect dude ranch experience this July 2021. All the ranches around Jackson hole are getting crowded plus Jackson hole the town is over crowded. This location is a wonderful get away for our family. Cabin was perfect. Lodge met our needs for drinks and relaxation. Could use more snacks for purchases. The meals were off the charts and met our gluten-free and vegetarian needs. Chef was excellent. Went on 6 wonderful rides. Two with our kids. Two adult dinners and the rest family style. We did the 1 hour, 3 hour, 5 hour with lunch and 6 hour with lunch rides. Some guest did fly fishing days or stayed at the lodge instead of riding. Riding a horse is harder than you think. Your knees hurt after the ride for a little bit but then your ready to ride the next day!. They had one day of rifle and pistol range, wish they had that every day. The staff was very nice and met all our needs. read more

My son has cried three times today because he doesn't want to go home! He cried even harder when we told him that even if we did go back next year that it might not be the same wranglers. My sons, 7 & 9, had the time of their lives (as did my husband, my parents, and myself)! It's a little boys paradise and they both agree it's "better than Disney World". Lots of activities, beautiful scenery, and great people. The food may have been the most shocking part for me, every meal was out of this world! read more

Lazy L & B Ranch - Horse back riding - Ranches Near Me - Dubois, Wyoming

My family of 5 spent one of the most amazing weeks at L and B Ranch last summer! We didn't want to leave! Deb and Jason and their girls do an amazing job taking care of everyone! They really care and it shows! Their staff is over the top kind and really knowledgeable in meeting all the different levels of riding! Their chef is absolutely amazing! Everything was delicious! My kids were in tears saying good bye to everyone! So we are going back this summer and we can't wait! Love this family so much for welcoming us onto their beautiful ranch! read more

My recent week at the L&B was, without a doubt, one of the best vacations I've ever spent. Horseback riding, hiking, fly fishing - the ranch has it all. I had never been on a horse before my trip to Wyoming, and the wranglers made it so easy that, by Day 2, I was forgetting I had never ridden before. And the rides themselves were spectacular. We rode every morning, for about 2-3 hours, and on two other days there was the option to go on a longer ride (ranging from 6-7 hours). Regardless of which option I chose, the experiences were uniformly spectacular. The rides went through a range of countryside, including open meadows, foothills, scrubby flatlands, and along lakes and rivers. The breadth of the scenery was spectacular. The L&B also does a great job of offering additional activities each day, including hiking and fly fishing. You can do these activities solo or with a guide provided by the ranch. As with riding, I'd never been fly fishing before and thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon I spent learning the sport with a ranch guide and some of the other guests. I also went on a great afternoon hike near Lake Louise. The food was fantastic, and far exceeded my expectations. There was a full-time chef on-site, as well as a pastry chef, and the results were outstanding. We ate like kings every day. In addition to the activities and scenery, the ranch provides ample opportunities for getting to know the other guests. During my week there, the guests were a mix of families, friends, and singles, and, by week's end, we all felt we'd known each other much longer than one week. There are evening happy hours on the lodge deck, group meals, campfires, and just general opportunities to sit and talk with one another; the ranch even arranged for a number of the guests to go to a square dance one evening in the nearby town. That said, there was also plenty of time to just hang on by myself, whether reading a book on my cabin's front porch or going for a walk through the beautiful countryside. Overall, the ranch came to feel like a small village of close neighbors and friends, which only added to the experience. All of this happens because the owners, Jason and Deb Halmay, along with their wonderful daughters, think of everything and make each guest feel like a long-time friend who has returned for a visit. They make running a ranch look effortless, and the guests were all the better for it. read more

Keep in mind this is a dude ranch. If you want cattle work you won't be happy. If you want spas and pampering you won't be happy. If you want trail riding in wonderful scenery, with owners and staff who really care that their guests have a good time, you'll be thrilled. Cabins aren't fancy but are spotless and perfect for the location. Many have a shared wall with the room next door; if you're courteous towards your neighbor you'll be fine. Cabins do have private bathrooms (even the shared buildings) and a mini-fridge to keep your beverages cold. There's an honor bar in the main lodge and you settle up at the end of the week. I suggest stopping on the way to the ranch to pick up whatever beverages (alcoholic or not) that you prefer. Food is wonderful and very filling. The horses are well cared for. You're assigned a horse at the beginning of the week and you keep that horse all week; that said, the wranglers will switch horses if yours doesn't suit you. They're great at forming groups of riders so that there aren't too many in a group, and so that each group has about the same riding ability. My physical limitations prevented me from riding as well as I might have been able to, so upon my request I was moved to a slower group and things worked out great. Bring plenty of layers, as it gets chilly/cold at night or during a rainstorm but can get quite hot during the day. Would I go back? Yes. Would I recommend this ranch to others! Definitely yes! read more

From being greeted by Deb as we pulled in, to every single employee, the staff is awesome. The best!!! Caring, warm, informative, friendly and welcoming. I felt invited into their home. Enjoyed the cozy, lower number of guests feel. The food:: 10++ stars. It doesn't get much better. Family style to sit down bison tenderloin. Happy hours great. Even the sack lunch for the all day ride was great!! Thank you chef, and the sous chef (who made sure he was seen and available at all times). Most gratitude to Andrea in dining who graciously took care of everyone's needs with ease and charm. Cabins are cozy with top of line bedding & towels, roomy and each with a rocking chair porch, listening to the river running. Ride scenery varies depending on which direction you head. Dessert, mesa, canyon, mountains. Wrangler Brandon was a favorite. Only 1-2 stars for actual riding. Horses nose to tail, single file at a walk all the time!! Not the most fun for anyone who knows how to ride even a little bit. This WAS mentioned to several wranglers/staff Hate that the actual rides were one of the biggest disappointments. Matching the riders experience to the rides (length of rides, scenery and topography ease/ difficulty, level of actually being able to "ride") would help make the entire experience one of the top and again, we DID mention this request. "Welcome to our home and enjoy your stay" they hit on the mark! Value for your money? Yes. read more
