TOTAL RIPOFF! Avoid this place at all costs. Surly employees, an overpriced restaurant with bad food and the crowning achievement a filthy tiny cabin with no amenities but plenty of bugs and dirt. Ask for Michael (the owner) and he's no where to be found, no doubt hiding his face in shame! more

The web site is very mis leading. When we walked in the door of our room, we could take one step and we were on the bed. The room had no air conditioning and no screens on the windows. We had a huge spider in our shower and several smaller spiders in the bed, bathroom and on the walls. They... more

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... more

This was a disappointment. We had a 2 bedrooom cabin which had a very small bathroom and no bathtub! Very dim lighting, beds squeeked and uncomfortable, not enough plugs. The door to the 2nd room would not close and the front door barely locked. the floors were uneven. The wireless internet worked only in parts of the cabin. We could... more

We just got back from the Dawn Ranch Lodge in Guerneville, CA. We were a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews but we loved it and are madly scheming to find another couple of days this summer to go back. OK, first things first. I called the hotel directly and the price we got from them matched anything... more

I read some of the reviews here prior to booking and was a bit hesitant to stay here, but decided to give it a chance. I'm glad I did! This place was amazing! Comfy beds, clean rooms, private and quiet. The staff were very friendly. The location was amazing, within easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. The... more

this place is super-overpriced. we stayed here because they accepted dogs, however, this was the major redeeming quality. Aside from that...it was way too bare basics and they would greatly benefit from some added small touches....like towels that are more substantial, offering pool towels, ice, a small fridge, an ipod dock, fixing up the pool area with better chairs, providing... more

These are efficiency cabins, nothing extra is provided. For the price of $150/night we will not return. Cute cabins (clean:except for cigerette burn in sheets!, simple, recently painted, modern bedding/style) on nice large grounds (great for Dogs which are allowed). No ice, no hair dryer, no coffee machine (coffee provided at reception area at 9 am bit late) no glasses,... more

I'd read good reviews about the Dawn Ranch (formerly called Fife's), so I booked a cabin for me and a friend to stop over for a day and a night on our drive down California's West Coast. Looking at the slick pictures on the website, I bit the bullet and coughed up US$120+ for the night for what I thought... more
