About this venue
Welcome. Nestled riverside at the edge of Guerneville in Sonoma’s wine rich Russian River Valley, Dawn Ranch is a virtual natural preserve. As a Sonoma wine country escape, Dawn Ranch is authentic, historic and unique. The property meanders over 15 lush acres of ancient giant Redwoods, vintage apple trees, flowing creeks, and native meadows. Fully renovated sophisticated cabins and cottages from 1905 cluster the landscape but leave ample room to exist peacefully amid nature.
