Dawn Ranch
WINNER

Dawn Ranch is a 22-acre retreat spanning a river, an apple orchard, and a meadow in the heart of Guerneville, set at the southern edge of Sonoma County’s redwoods. The tranquil escape is rooted in the concept of co-authored luxury, inspiring guests to rejuvenate their creativity through experiences such as scent making classes, flower pressing workshops, bird watching with Swarovski Optik binoculars, self-guided guitar lessons with Fender guitars, and more. The property features 86 total guest rooms set in varying styles of chalets, cottages, cabins, bungalows, and in the summer months, luxury glamping tents that offer guests the chance to experience the stunning natural setting of the property without sacrificing the comforts of a luxury stay. Dawn Ranch is completed with onsite spa, The Spa at Dawn Ranch, and signature dining concept, The Lodge at Dawn Ranch, reinventing California cuisine with influences from the chefs’ South American heritage.
