“We were planned to have our wedding at Dawn Ranch in June 2019, however with the major flood in Guerneville we ended up needing to have the wedding elsewhere. However, Dawn Ranch was wonderful since the start. We did a lot of research on venues and Dawn Ranch stole our hearts, it was more expensive than we originally were planning but we decided it was the perfect place for us and we would plan everything around this epic venue. It is a little rustic, but the adorable cabins and comfy beds made us feel that guests would be happy to stay onsite. We LOVED that everyone would be together for the weekend, really allowing our favorite people to get to know one another and create memories together. We could just see the pool overflowing with our loved ones and we knew our hearts would be so happy. The wedding coordinator at Dawn Ranch, Susan, was a joy to work with. She answered so many of my questions and accommodated so many requests. She was very transparent with costs (which did add up) and provided support in setting up the additional vendors. We went as far in the planning as setting up guests per room, table setup, bar setup, ceremony setup, confirmed all external vendors, and even did our food and drink tasting/selections. That tasting was SO special, and still is for us. They invited both of our parents to join and we did a walk through together and stayed overnight. It was so so nice to get everyone excited and spend some special time together. Not to mention the food was amazing and the wine list was mainly local places and filled with great options. As soon as the flood happened, the owner and coordinator reached out to confirm that the venue was in fact affected but they didnt have any answers yet. While we were a bit (ok, a lot) nervous and anxious for information, we kept reminding ourselves what they were going through, they lost everything and the owner was dealing with all wedding couples inquiring and not to mention all their staff. They shared more information about 2 weeks later, they were a little hopeful they could rebuild by June but also said they were waiting to hear more from insurance. We started looking elsewhere just to have a backup venue if needed. They ended up connecting with us almost weekly, and yes each week it got a little more clear we would likely need to switch venues. They were clear throughout that we could pull out any time for a full refund. We crossed our fingers for a bit, but eventually, and very painfully, decided to cancel and book elsewhere due to the risk and uncertainty. Susan and Michael (the owner) were so kind throughout the process. It was a no questions asked quick refund process. They even helped us transfer some vendors to our new venue location. Even further, we had tasted a wine at our tasting with them that our new venue couldn't source so i reached out to see who their contact was. Michael personally contacted the winery and placed the order for us, then Susan hand delivered the wine to our other venue. We were blown away by their kindness. To top that, they sent us flowers the day of our wedding to our hotel room and we invited them to our Friday welcome drinks, which they came to and were so sweet mingling with our guests and seeing our parents again. The flood was such an unfortunate event. Dawn Ranch handled it all with class and showed so much kindness throughout the process. We could have easily been angry with the situation and cast blame on Dawn Ranch, but really it was out of all of our hands and they themselves were going through (and still are) so much more than us. Thank you Dawn Ranch for everything. We will see you on our 1 year anniversary! :)”

“Came for the first time on a Friday night around 6:45pm. Was a good time because it got pretty full about 30 minutes after we arrived. Despite there only being one waiter and the host, service was excellent and food was delicious. I got the seared hangar steak and my partner got the fish. We also shared the cauliflower gratin and warm kale salad. The host put logs in the fireplace and got the fire started a few minutes after we sat down. Place is elegant but also cozy. There's a piano by the bar (which is separate from the main dining area) but nobody was playing it that night. I imagine the menu changes with the seasons because it was a one-page paper menu. Would return again/recommend.”

“Amazing LITTLE place. A perfect example of a wonderful "hole in the wall" restaurant!! The staff was very cheery and eager to help and suggest items. The food came in HUGE portions!!! And was definitely under priced. The seating was limited to about 6 tables as it was raining outside. But they accommodated everyone and it was a pleasure eating there. Will most definitely go back!!!”

“This place is located in the parking lot of the Roadside Resort near Vacation Beach. You can get hot dogs and polish dogs. She has options of buns, plain and with sesame seed. If you get the combo, you also get chips and a soda. You won't see any posted hours, so keep an eye out when driving by.”
