Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch

The lodging this guide bases on: a 3,200-acre working horse and cattle ranch in the foothills west of Loveland, 13.78 road miles from TPC Colorado and 6.87 from Mariana Butte Golf Course by OSRM's driving routes. Its own footer reads "Family owned and operated since 1946, Sylvan Dale is located in the foothills west of Loveland, Colorado," and its about page dates the ranch to the 1920s and lists cabins and guest houses, game courts, a game room and a seasonal outdoor heated pool. Rooms are sold as its Bunk & Breakfast product — ten named cabins and shared guest houses sleeping two to ten, available year-round, booked on 970-667-3915 or at ranch@sylvandale.com, with check-in between 3 and 5pm, a one-night deposit to secure a reservation and a 3.95% sales tax applied at check-out. One limitation is the operator's own and matters to anyone planning ahead: "Reservations can only be made 2-3 weeks out from the expected arrival date for B&Bs! November through March will offer the most availability." The Census geocoder returns Larimer County and no incorporated place at the ranch, so Loveland is the mailing address. No room rate is published here: the operator's seasonal rate table carries no year and no dated qualifier of any kind.
