The Love Ranch is a legal, licensedbrothel located about 7 miles (11 km) east ofCarson City,Nevada in the unincorporated town ofMound House, inLyon County, at 95 Kit Kat Drive, also known asThe Love Ranch North.
It sits along the southeast side of the cul de sac at the end of Kit Kat Drive, just off Highway 50 (Lincoln Highway), approximately 1.2 mile (1.6 km) from theMoonlite BunnyRanch. Also on the cul de sac are two other brothels theKit Kat Guest Ranch and theSagebrush Ranch; and Madam Suzette's Red Light Cabaret Strip Club. The cul de sac is collectively known as the Madam Suzette and Dennis Hof's Red Light District.
Formerly known under several variations of the nameKitty's, this brothel was owned byDennis Hof until his death in 2018. Hof is best known as the star ofHBO'sCathouse and proprietor of the nearbyMoonlite BunnyRanch. Hof reportedly renamed this operation in 2004 to better take advantage of the "BunnyRanch brand name", which he has heavily promoted. In June 2008, this house was again renamed, this time as The Love Ranch in order to build a unique identity for the brothel. It is sometimes referred to as The Love Ranch North, to differentiate it fromLove Ranch Vegas.
