We had a lovely time with you too! And your photography is top notch! Thank you for visiting us, and we hope to see you again in the future! You could even bring Rufus next time. ;)
Attended a family wedding and was pleased with our location “up the hill” in one of the houses. Beautiful view of the mountains and stable. It was close enough to walk over and check out the sheep and horses. House itself was fine but nothing...More

Thank you for your review! The staircase is finished now....and we wish it would have been completed while you were on ranch with us. ;) We hope to see you again in the future!
I stayed at Sylvan Dale this Fall and really enjoyed my stay. This ranch is extremely easy to get to. The scenery is wonderful and the riding trails are quite varied. I think they have one of the nicest string of horses (all raised on...More

We enjoyed having you with us this fall! Maybe we'll see you again next year! :)
Our daughter had her wedding at Sylvandale Sept. 21, 2018. It was picture perfect, but in reading reviews of the past a month later, we definitely see a pattern - great for less formal events like vacations and retreats but think twice about a wedding...More
Staying at the Sylvan Dale Ranch was a wonderful experience. The cabins were very clean and a short distance from the dining lodge. The food was very good. The ranch setting is very beautiful. Each day, our group participated in horse activities such as trail...More

We had such a lovely time with your entire group! And the bonus is that you two live so closely, that we can't wait to see your smiling faces again very soon. :)

Gosh, Sandy! We're so sorry we missed your question about the September 1st wedding review!
Unfortunately, the original wedding coordinator who was working on that wedding had to leave due to family circumstances. The bride and groom from the wedding in question experienced, in their opinion, a less than ideal transition up to their big day.
Our new wedding coordinator, Melissa, will make sure that all of our weddings go smoothly from here on out! If you're planning a wedding with us in the future, you will not be disappointed. :)

Absolutely, there are other options. :) Our guests who need transportation will often take an airport shuttle. We will be working with a company called Green Ride this year! Since we have just recently transitioned over from Super Shuttle, reservations will not be available until March 1st, but at least we have a start date. :)
I hope that helps!
Happy trails from Sylvan Dale,

Howdy cdhc16! We do serve wine and beer at dinner (during our Dude Ranch Vacations). There is a minimal charge per glass or bottle. We are required to serve our own products at dinner. However, if you would like to drink on your own, at your cabin, you can certainly BYOB. We just can't have the two cross over. :/
