Dawn Ranch is a charming retreat immersed in nature, providing a luxurious yet laid-back atmosphere. The property itself is beautiful, and the cabins are comfortable and well-designed. I did notice some drawbacks, such as the inconvenient location of the 2-bedroom cabins, which are separated from the main campus, making access to meals and activities a hassle. Overall, this spot is perfect for those looking to escape into tranquility, although families with young kids might find the cabin situation less than ideal.

My stay at this resort was quite enjoyable, set within beautiful grounds surrounded by redwoods. The room was basic yet comfortable, making it perfect for a short stay. Kyle provided exceptional service, from the delicious breakfast basket to hosting a cozy fire pit evening. However, the close proximity of the cabins and the noise from the highway were a bit disappointing. Overall, it's a peaceful getaway if you don't mind a little background noise.
