O
ne thousand years ago, Freemont people
found shelter in a shallow cave in Echo Rock.
Later, Indian tribes wintered in the valley seekingrefuge from the snows of the high country. In the
1800s, folks sought healing from respiratory ailments
in the crisp, clean mountain air. Hospitality rooted
itself in the 1920s when Frend Neville, a local
cattleman, built a lodge and four cabins on the banks
of the Big Thompson River and called it Sylvan Dale.
The Jessup story began in 1934 when a Kansas
kid, working his way through college, arrived
in thevalley for a summer job and caught a vision
of whatthe little ranch on the Big Thompson could
somedaybe. Eleven years later, in 1946, Maurice
and his wife, Mayme, bought Sylvan Dale.
The Big Thompson Flood of 1976 threatened to put
an end to the dream, but reconstruction efforts were
successful and the Ranch continues to bless folks tothis day.
March 7, 2013 marks the beginning of our 67thyear at Sylvan Dale. Much has happened since
our parents, with barely enough money to make
the down payment, grabbed hold of a dream
and made it a reality. The growth and change
that has happened since this humble beginning
has helped define who and what we are today.
We would love to share the beauty of Sylvan Dale
with your family this season.
67 Years in the saddle!
Sosaddle up with us in 2013!
Through a lifetime
of hopes and dreams
solidly based on faith,
dedication and hard
work, the Jessups andtheir two children, David and
Susan, increased the 125 acre ranch to a 5,000 acreworking ranch with cattle, horses and guest facilities
to accommodate families and group events.
