+The resort itself was very unique
−Our room was very damp and had a mildew smell. Our sheets also were stained on check in and we had to ask for them to be changed.

“We hope to make it back to Dawn Ranch someday as we had just a lovely stay.”
+Fantastic location, beautiful setting amongst the redwood trees, accessible to the river, walkable to town and next door to the Safeway market. The resort had complimentary bicycles and kayaks and tubes, along with a nice jacuzzi and pool. The room was very comfortable although a bit small, but the bed was great, and there were lots of spaces for putting our things. The staff was very welcoming and responsive. We totally enjoyed celebrating our anniversary there. It made for a beautiful memory.
−It would have been nice to have more food options at the resort and in town. Many places were closed on the Monday and Tuesday that we were there.

“Loved the beauty and quiet ambience”
+It was peaceful, perfect for us trying to get away from busy city living. The place was beautiful, surrounded by towering redwood trees.
−Stayed midweek, restaurant was closed. We had easy access to outside restaurants though downtown.

“Belated Birthday Trip”
+Dawn Ranch is a great hotel with beautiful grounds. I went with my partner to for a belated birthday weekend getaway. It was a lovely stay overall, and we can't wait to stay again for our next getaway from SF.

“Exceptional for a girls' getaway!”
+Booked a cabin with three friends, and we had the best experience! Everyone we interacted with was so kind and helpful, and the cabin was so cute and cozy, we didn't want to leave. The Grove gives remote vibes, but we walked easily to great food/drink, and we loved the on-site yoga and spa experience. Truly, it has everything you need for a perfect getaway! We'll be back!

“Cool summer camp vibes and beautiful area”
+Our cabin (under the redwoods) was clean and cute. We did have a noisy ACheating unit which kept me up all night, sounds like it potentially may have a pump issue, I've alerted them to this. At $2xx a night, it's great. I would not pay more than that. I've seen up to $500 a night, which this place is NOT worth IMO. They list this place as "luxury", and it is not that, so know what it is and isn't before going. It's a summer camp, and the grounds are MUCH smaller than you think, but you're surrounded by beautiful forests and hikes within half an hour. We went during off season, so the whole vibe may be different in the summer. On the whole, the area is lovely, but remember it's a small tourist town, so not all the people are going to be kind. If you've ever been to any such town, you understand the vibe. No big deal for us though. The grounds get flooded from the river sometimes, and when we were there, the entire back half of the grounds was covered in a quarter inch of crud, and the river had just flooded with untreated waste from a nearby site so.... stay on top of the news in the area. Most of the staff were lovely, and their communication was great; only a couple of male staff

“Lovely getaway”
+Dawn Ranch is truly beautiful and very well cared for. The property feels serene and thoughtfully maintained, and the rooms were clean, cozy, and incredibly comfortable,the beds were so comfortable, we slept wonderfully. We really enjoyed spending time at the spa, especially the magnesium bath, which was relaxing and lovely. One thing to note is that it’s located right next to the freeway, so you can hear traffic while soaking,worth mentioning for anyone sensitive to noise. There’s also a great restaurant on site, which made the stay even more convenient. I’d recommend only doing a cocktail and sharing an appetizer (the dinner was subpar). Overall, it’s a charming and comfortable place to unwind.

“We were only there for one night, but our say was special”
+We have only good things to say about Dawn Ranch: Our cabin was sparkling clean, quiet and cozy, yet somehow spacious thanks to thoughtful interior design. While staff was warm and friendly and catered to our every whim. The spacious grounds are brimming with nature, beautifully maintained, and just a very short walk from town. The food is top-notch, and other guests seemed to be enjoying the many amenities. Yes it is pricy, but we felt it was worth it.
