Our standard check-in time is 4pm. If you arrive earlier, and if your room is ready when you arrive, we will gladly provide you with a complimentary early check in. If your room is not ready, you are welcome to enjoy the resort and amenities – and start your vacation right away. Please email us at hello@dawnranch.com if you require additional information.

All of our cabins are nestled in unique sections of the resort’s 22 acres. Each with its own unique ambiance. The names of the lodgings refer to their location at the resort. Sycamore Cabins face the sycamore shaded green and the central lodge. Meadow chalets overlook our sprawling meadow and redwoods. Redwood cabins and chalets are nestled beneath a group of towering redwoods. Creekside cottages are perched above Liveraux Creek, next to The Boathouse. Our Grove cabins and cottages offer a truly unique setting among uniquely tended lush gardens at the base of a beautiful forested hillside.

Extra beds are not available for our cabins.  Our chalets and cottages feature day beds which can be used for an additional child if needed.  If you are interested in additional sleeping areas, we highly recommend reserving a two-bedroom cottage at The Grove, or one of our two-bedroom bungalows.  Alternatively, if your party chooses to reserve multiple cabins, it is possible to request adjacent cabins by emailing hello@dawnranch.com prior to your arrival. Rest assured, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

Dawn Ranch is a wonderful place to enjoy some quality outdoor time with your canine companion.  We welcome well behaved dogs in select dog-friendly cabins, based upon availability.

Email hello@dawnranch.com to request permission for your dog – be sure to mention your room type as only specific room types are eligible. Kindly note we accept one dog per reservation at an extra charge of $150 per stay, and require dogs to be leashed in public areas.

Other animal pets are not permitted. Dogs found in non-dog friendly cabins will incur a minimum charge of $500.

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) working service animals are exempt from our pet policy. Non-ADA service/support animals are subject to the pet policy. In keeping with California law, owners of a service/support animal will be asked if it is an ADA working service animal and what tasks the service animal is trained to perform.

While reservations are not required most days, we do recommend making reservations for dinner and on popular holidays. Simply click the reserve button above to book a table or call us at (707)-869-0656.
