A century-old guest ranch on the Russian River, Dawn Ranch Lodge was renamed in 2006 in celebration of the rare Dawn Redwood. Our 70 year old trees provide shade and beauty to this beautiful fifteen acre Guerneville resort.

We are just twenty minutes from the Pacific Ocean, and offer rustic tranquility with a modern atmosphere.

.Our long meadow at Dawn Ranch Lodge has been the setting for spectacular weddings and intimate ceremonies for over a century, and now welcome gay and lesbian couples to celebrate their own wedding days. We’re also an ideal location for corporate retreats and family reunions.

Our individual cottages blend perfectly into the stunning landscape of old apple orchards, bamboo groves, grassy meadows and beautifully landscaped gardens.

Dawn Ranch Lodge features the award-winning Roadhouse Restaurant, with an extensive wine list from the Russian River appellation, known for their fine Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.

Whether you choose an intimate ceremony under the boughs of the century old apple blossoms in the orchard, or a large celebration in our beautiful meadow, Dawn Ranch Lodge is the perfect romantic setting to celebrate your wedding day. Relax and enjoy these beautiful surroundings, while our dedicated staff ensure that you and your party experience a joyful, stress-free day.
