The room was freezing and water would not warm past like warm (over at the Grove). Staff made up for the poor check in experience the next day- extremely warm and professional offering to switch rooms. The Spa staff was incredibly attentive as is the bar staff. The property is adorable- cozy, rustic but high end. The event activities (yoga) are also wonderful! Would definitely stay here again! ##### Vivian Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Cara Jul 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Very pretty area and cottage.

This is a beautiful property and the restaurant is excellent! The only thing I would say is that the room was very dark and a little hard to warm up. But overall, a great stay! ##### Amy Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald Apr 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Three days at Dawn Ranch A tranquil location with several areas to walk our dog. The cabin was very small. Only room for a bed, two night stands and a cabinet. Near everything we needed; Safeway and good restaurants. ##### Ronald Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Anne Nov 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at the newly revamped Dawn Ranch. Went for a couples weekend and did the cottage, spa, dinner. Cozy fun vibes. Reduced stars for cottage being a little cold/drafty (that’s me), spa being a little intense about the rules, and restaurant as well. They had to turn away sooooo many ppl without reservations so def make them for dinner! Free wine tasting and excellent masseuse a plus. ##### Anne Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tommy Jul 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities OMG… what is not to love about Dawn Ranch? At the top of the list of great thing about this place is the incredibly friendly and cool staff. That alone makes it a 10/10 recommend. The location, amenities and cleanliness are also outstanding. Don’t think of it as a cabin by the river, rather it is more like a nice hotel with super cool people and 5 star treatment at reasonable prices, that just happens to be a lot of small buildings instead of one big one. I adore this place and will definitely be back. ##### Tommy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Cheri Jul 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Mostly great! This property is beautiful, the pool is nice and it has so many great amenities. We loved being close to the river and taking advantage of the kayak rental. Overall it was a good experience. We were here over the 4th of July and it was very busy. The restaurant has EXCELLENT food, the people in the kitchen are doing great. The service staff and general organization at the restaurant seemed to struggle. We had dinner one night, sat at the bar and had to listen to the bartender complain the entire time. So that and the struggle very obviously felt by all of the service staff ruined what could have been a wonderful experience ##### Cheri Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Nov 14, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Weekend getaway in nature! I was looking for a quick getaway and stumbled across Dawn Ranch on my search. Let me first off say right away after I booked my stay, the staff of Dawn Ranch reached out to me to make me feel welcomed and excited to stay at Dawn Ranch. I inquired about an early check in and the staff of Dawn Ranch was able to accommodate and also did a complimentary room upgrade. Right off the bat, I was impressed with their hospitality. As for the tiny cabins, they are so cute and definitely a place that makes you feel like you are one with nature with a side of glamping. The rooms don't have any TVs but they have wifi and so many complimentary stuff this resort offers from bike rides to ebooks. I love how friendly the staff is and it makes you want to come back again. I think so many hotels and resorts forgets that friendliness goes a long way and Dawn Ranch have gone way out of their way to make visitors feel welcomed and relaxed. Love that rooms are clean and comes with high end luxury soaps. So many complimentary amenities in room as well. Great place for couples, families or groups. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/88C5AE42C3AE8712A6CB5FCFB7BD10777E1007871668431089534.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27CAC322D354999BA003764BFCCED9FD5F17AEF31668431091166.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7428311E43608AAB20830BE28BF531DDDCEE73CD1668431087403.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/953063D2CAA35B82C44C24A06CA5CB269490CC251668431088412.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Dani Oct 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice stay, for the price would love robes in the room, faster WiFi and a transport or safer walking route from the grove to the restaurant, but the location is lovely, bed is comfy, products in the bathroom are top notch and the restaurant is excellent. ##### Dani Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Consuelo Oct 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful grounds/landscape.

Probably safe from before being overrun though as it was not crowded. The restaurant, on the other hand, is very popular which can be a problem if don’t want to leave the property. Mixed blessing there but food and cocktails are extremely good. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### marianne Jun 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a perfect time - we were transported to another land.

It has the feel of an influencer property, with the distinctive flourishes and details in place to make it attractive and exciting. The facilities are clean, spare and modern. The fixtures are sufficiently cool with the edison bulbs. But the details makes it feel like the staff is going through the motions of hospitality. The hardware is there but the software is missing. For instance, our room was nice and clean if a little spare. The leather case for the tissue felt luxe. But details like the coffee station, only available was Splenda and a lot of it. Someone didn’t do the basic check to make sure sugar was there. Sure I could have asked, but I shouldn’t have to for day 1. The refrigerator was nicely stocked, but the shelves still had the tape on the shelves indicating it was installed quickly. The grounds were good, but you would see left over items from the plastic axe throwing after the board was taken away. We had breakfast in one of the side rooms after seating but we had to get our own silverware after not being able to get a servers attention. That said the silverware is high quality. Some nice things, the s’mores and the fire pits had a nice rustic feeling, the birdwatching offering including in the resort fee was great. In short flashy stuff but the heart is missing. Great in pics, decent experience but expectations not well set. Great location and solid. ##### Charles Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Clara Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Really pretty grounds and nice getaway.
