I had an incredible experience at this hotel! The cabins were beautifully designed and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The serene location alongside the river added so much to our stay, and the amenities were top-notch. While the dining was a bit pricey, the quality of the food truly matched the high cost. Overall, it’s a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, creating a magical atmosphere, especially during evening s'mores by the river.

My stay at Dawn Ranch was simply magical, blending nature and comfort seamlessly. The cabins were cozy and well-decorated, making my experience very special, though I did notice the walls were a bit thin between units. The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely seemed to care about my stay. The location among the majestic redwoods was breathtaking, perfect for a getaway. However, as wonderful as the dining was, it could have offered a bit more variety in options. Overall, an excellent value for a rejuvenating retreat.

The hotel offers a unique cabin-in-the-woods experience with attractive architecture and a cozy atmosphere, but it might not be for everyone due to limited amenities. Rooms are on the smaller side but clean and comfortable. The dining experience was absolutely delightful with an exceptional tasting menu, yet some aspects of the service were lacking, which detracted from the overall experience. Overall, it’s a serene setting for those who appreciate nature but requires an understanding of its rustic nature.

The rooms are simple 'cabins' that are very cute and clean, with cozy bedding that makes for a comfortable stay. They can feel a bit undersized but offer all necessary amenities.

While the staff was knowledgeable and courteous, there were moments of disengagement that were surprising. It's clear they have their routines, but an extra touch of friendliness would elevate the experience.

Dawn Ranch offers a unique and stylish cabin experience, perfect for those wanting to escape into the woods while indulging in some luxury. The atmosphere is serene and surrounded by nature, but the accommodations may not be everyone's preference as some aspects feel a bit dated and the amenities fall short in temperature control. Dining is an unexpected highlight, providing an exquisite culinary experience. While the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, some room issues might make it less ideal for certain guests.

Our stay was a mixed bag. We loved the cabins—they're charming and cozy—but the service left much to be desired. Although the location by the river is lovely and peaceful, some amenities like breakfast and the pool didn’t quite meet our expectations. Also, the lack of internet in our cabin was a hassle. Overall, I’d say there’s potential, but they need to address a few key issues.
