I recomend a Chateau. It was more spacious with a seperate "living" room that included a gas faux fireplace. It also had a bathroom, with a shower. The bathroom and shower stall were small but then again we weren't there for the restroom. The Chateau is a little more but worth it if you like a place outside of the room where you ...

No way a repeat
By kathybartaldo, 08/11/08
Dawn Ranch has potential but owner seems more interested in money than repeat customers. Some "nice trys" but falls short. If you don't expect much, you will be ok . But for what they have chosen to charge for rooms, DRL has a long way to go. With that said, the setting is great - grounds are nice for wandering and sitting to read, ...

This place was not worth its price at all
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/28/08
The web site was very mis leading. Our room had no airconditioning, no screens, on the windows, no TV, no phone, a huge spider in the shower and several small spiders on the bed, walls, floor and in the bathroom. The room is only big enough to walk in and sit on the bed and that is it. The sink faucet had a seperate pipe for the hot and cold so we ...

Overpriced for what you get
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/22/08
There was a musty smell as you walk into the small cottage. The room was overpriced for what you receive. (No TV, no phone, no internet, no air conditioning) The grounds are nice but could be better kept up. Access to river was difficult if really an access. Restaurant was very overpriced and the manager seemed drunk.

O.K. But Strange Layout - Went To Jazz Festival
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/14/07
There are no facilities in the room to hang clothes; to put clothes in drawers; the two bedroom cottages have one bathroom for four people which creates big problems when there are two couples; there is no place to eat as there are no tables to have a "breakfast;" if you want to eat in your cottage you hang out on the couch; you are ...

Serene and Peaceful
By Cheryl Grisham, 06/06/07
Loved the little cabins, very cute ane rustic, nicely decorated without any gaudy pictures. Also loved the fact that there are no TV's or phones in the room, it reaaly helped feeeling like we "got away" from it all. The staff was extremely nice and the resturant was wonderful. I recommend trying the flat iron steak sandwich, ...

Poor service - overpriced accomodations
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/05/06
Do not spend your time or money at this establishment. The food at the restaurant was less than mediocre and the service was slow and unprofessional. In addition, the accomodations are highly disappointing, expensive and the walls in the cabins are paper thin. The town of Guerneville is also very strange.

Was not impressed
By sfcollider, 08/18/06
We had high hopes for this restaurant as we had friends from Chicago who were out visiting doing the wine thing with us, but unfortunately.. we left feeling unsatisfied and somewhat surprised at the low quality of service. Strike 1: my friend ordered a steak cooked medium, it was served medium rare to rare (very bloody). Strike 2: when we sent the ...

A "Must Try"!
By S C, 09/14/05
The quality of service and food here are incredible. Outdoor dining on a warm night, )or even cool, as heat lamps are provided) is WONDERFUL, but the interior is equally inviting. Check it out!
