About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
2500 sq ft Lower Garden Level only of a large custom home on 40 private acres.
Go to my website www.boardingatlazyd.com and view a virtual tour of the garden level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTZTJV5mKV4&feature=youtu.beThen book via this VRBO site.
This property is located in an exclusive gated community. You are renting a sparingly rented luxurious short-term stay in the lower level (1772002) 2400 sf walk-out garden level of my custom home. I live in the upper level and due to the virus I control the number of guests coming into my home. This property is not your regular VRBO type rental. I only rent occasionally, not everyday or every weekend. This assures my guests a very clean, disinfected, private, area on a working ranch.
Rates are based on per person per night. This offers an individual fisherman or business traveler the ability to rent without having to pay for all the rooms. Each additional guests are at a much lower per night rate. Please be aware of how the rates are based. Your reservation needs to show all members of your party that will be staying. No additional unregistered guests will be allowed to stay.
Rates are based on per person per night up to six people in your party. The additional charges for more than one person will be displayed in the additional charges column in your reservation. Only the number of registered renter will be allowed to stay. Please, no surprises. No exception. Once I have received your confirmation I will then block the entire lower level out for your exclusive use.
I live and operate my business from the upper level of my home. Check in is between 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm any late check ins must be approved prior to arrival. Do not just show up late at night. The house will have its security system armed and police will be dispatched. Check out is 9:00 am to sharp. No exceptions. This is due to the cleaning staff busy schedule.
The lower garden level has three large bedrooms, two queens and one king, one full bath, and laundry in the garden level. This area includes a large 2500 sq. ft. open living/recreation area with large screen TV, Direct TV, internet, computer bar for using/charging laptop and phone, pool table, juke box, Oven/ range, full size refrigerator, microwave, and patio BBQ for outdoor cooking. The large recreation room offers abundant room for gathering, playing games or just relaxing. Its just a short drive to Divide, Cripple Creek or downtown Woodland Park, dining, entertainment and recreation. There is a guest parking sign right at the lower level lighted walkway leading to the private lighted entry to the lower level. You will need a gate code for the white gates to enter the subdivision. Please drive slow when entering the subdivision along with NO DUST coming up my driveway.
I want to assure you a safe, clean and comfortable stay.
When you fill out your reservation the nightly rate for one individual per night is displayed on the calendar. By confirming the total number of guests in your party into your reservation it will show you your individual stay rate plus the additional guest fees for each additional member of your party up to 6 people. The additional guest rate is broken down by number of guests more than one. For each additional guest in your party a per night fee is then added to your reservation. With your reservation confirmation your party will have the exclusive use of the entire LOWER Garden level of my home. In some cases you maybe asked to pay additional cleaning charges based on the number of quests in your party.
General area outdoor activities include Pike Peak tours, hiking, horseback riding, State and National Parks, and historic gaming and gold-mine community of Cripple Creek. Royal Gorge and whitewater rafting just a short drive away. Abundant wildlife are often seen on the property, great location to enjoy the changing of the Aspens, 90 miles from ski area, close to Colorado Springs and Air Force Academy.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard. Limited housekeeping is available.

Phenomenal Vacation Getaway
The location of the Lazy D Ranch was extraordinary for the views and quick ease of driving to and from stores and activities while staying in an area of such solitude and peace. The view of Pikes Peak was front and center, and an extraordinary opportunity to wake up to each morning, one which not many others may ever experience. We felt so lucky each day with the beauty of our surroundings.
The downstairs area was comfortable and very clean, and we enjoyed the pool table and jukebox. The small kitchen was also
equipped with all we could have needed during our stay. Don, our host was such a warm and welcoming person, and we enjoyed seeing him and visiting him each day.
We were so amazed that the elk herd of nearly 100 appeared several days right in the front yard, and we had a first hand
view that again, was priceless and extraordinary. We highly recommend The Lazy D for anyone who could use a stay filled with natural beauty and quiet in the shadow of Pike's Peak, forest, wildlife and convenient still to parks, activities, and grocery stores. We hope to return in the summer as well as next aspen season.

Beautiful property, relaxing stay
We absolutely loved this property. The only issue was we didn't have enough time there.
Don the owner was very friendly, helpful and even showed us around the property on his ATV. Although we didn't see any elk, we did get to pet the horses and feed them. Our teenage daughter spent a lot of time outside practicing her photography skills on the horses and landscape. When we did have time to relax, we sat outside taking in the beautiful mountain views of Pike's Peak.
The house was very clean and comfortable. It was fun to use the pool table and juke box. The kitchen was well equipped to cook breakfasts and we used the BBQ one night for dinner.
If you are looking for a place to hang out as a family and spend some time in the Divide/Woodland Park/Colorado Springs area, this place would be perfect to you.
Thanks again Don, we truly enjoyed our stay and hope to make it back there again.

Amazing Stay
Don is an amazing host. The house is beautiful and stocked with everything you need. The views of Pikes Peak are breathtaking and watching the Elk in the nearby field is wonderful. This is a fabulous place outside the hustle and bustle of the city. Could not have asked for anything better.

When I came across this VRBO location, saw the pictures and reviews, I thought this was too good to be true. Without a doubt, Don Doty's Lazy D Ranch exceed our expectations! Everything in living area was first class...pool table, juke box, TV, bedrooms, kitchen, etc. The check-in was easy as Don met us on site with his dog Bourbon. FYI...Bourbon loves to fetch his duck toy. The ranch is located in a beautiful, secluded area with an awesome view of Pikes Peak. The pictures don't lie.
We were fortunate to see the first baby elk calf with its mother in the meadow outside of the house. In regards to Don, he is an excellent host, personable and we enjoyed our conversations. If you are looking for a place to stay, I highly recommend the Lazy D Ranch!

Perfect family mountain getaway
My family and I spent a weekend at this property hoping to escape from all the snow from the snow storm. Initially we were very disappointed to find more snow in the town, but the minute drove up the property and parked in the visitor parking spot we knew this vacation was going to be perfect. The property has a wonderful view of mountains. The place much better than what the photos. Don was truly an amazing host, let us into the lower level of the property, showed us the property. Since he lives on the property, he was always available if we had any questions. The property was very clean, very thoroughly gone through the check in process. It has juke box which the kids totally loved, there was a pool table too which we didn't get a chance to play.
The only thing that we missed is a stove, but we got our food. So storing and heating it up was no problem. There were lot of plates and cutlery, a microwave and a coffee machine. The rooms were very comfortable, 2 of the rooms had view of the mountain, we spent some time star gazing.
Don gave us some suggestions to the near by attractions.
This place is at a convenient distance from all the attractions Garden of the gods, Cheyenne mountain zoo, Dinosaur museum, Manitou Springs.. and many more.
Don cares a lot about the property and his guest. This is a beautiful private property and definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking to spend some quality with family and friends. This will be even better during summer with summer activities, we will definitely go back there.

#1 rental I’ve ever stayed at
A work/fun trip after a wedding in Denver brought us to the Lazy D Ranch. I was slightly hesitant looking at the location since we wanted to be able to work and be close enough to Co Springs for Garden if the Gods, all concerns faded once I pulled in. Elk in the pasture,a huge private area and three bathrooms, a juke box with killer music, I was blown away by Don’s hospitality. The place was cleaner than most 4-5 star hotels covid precautions were taken. I highly recommend bending Don’s ear if you so wish, he’s an amazing host. The land is beautiful. Aspens and Pines with a view of the mountains made coming back to Austin very difficult. WiFi was good for my job and I imagine most. My GF had some difficulty at the very end uploading work but I doubt many will need the juice she does for her occupation. work should also be a secondary concern while out here it’s just too amazing to be staring at a screen. I’ve already recommended this spot and will be back!

Heavenly Getaway!!!
Very easy and simplistic check in with Mr. Doty. He answered on every call, answered every question and gave spot on directions to the property. The listed pictures are amazing but to see this place in person is the real treat. All the ammenitites were amazing. To have such a large place to myself, a jukebox, pool table large comfy seating area and the views of the mountains was amazing. Mr. Doty is a wonderful host and I offered him to eat dinner of fresh rainbow trout, I caught at 11 mile Reservoir and steaks but unfortunately he had already eaten but he was gracious enough to come down and play several games of pool and great conversation. He is cautious about giving you privacy but still very engaging. A true man's man and the place almost felt like a man's cave paradise but still very elegant in the three bedrooms and bathroom. I will be coming back to rent in the future.
