Eschew the glitz of Napa for a serene escape at Dawn Ranch, a captivating reimagining of a historic property on the idyllic banks of Sonoma’s Russian River.

 

This haven prioritizes relaxation and connection with nature, offering a charming alternative to its flashier counterparts.

The gentle river invites exploration by kayak or canoe, while charming shops and restaurants of downtown Guerneville are a short stroll away. Spread across 22 acres, Dawn Ranch boasts a symphony of natural beauty – majestic redwoods, grassy meadows, and a century-old apple orchard create a tranquil atmosphere. The moment you arrive, a sense of serenity washes over you, encouraging you to slow down and truly appreciate the surroundings.

The low-key check-in reflects the property’s focus on outdoor living. A rustic chalkboard displays enticing weekly activities – yoga, origami workshops, stargazing, or live music at the bandshell. The friendly staff caters to your every whim, offering picnic blankets, sketchbooks, binoculars, and even acoustic guitars for impromptu campfire singalongs.
