Teach Mayer has been appointed as General Manager at Dawn Ranch
Bridgeton Holdings [Walker Hotel Greenwich Village, Walker Hotel Tribeca, Marram Montauk] announces the appointment of Teach Mayer as General Manager for Dawn Ranch after the property's acquisition by Bridgeton earlier this spring.
Dawn Ranch, which operated as a wedding venue since its beloved cabins closed their doors three years ago due to a flood, has now reopened as a full service luxury resort under Bridgeton's operation. Situated on the banks of the Russian River in Sonoma County's artistic enclave, Guerneville, the historic property previously had played host to vacationers from San Francisco and around the globe for over 100 years since its original opening in 1905. Today, Dawn Ranch's 15 acre-property offers an escape to the old-school magic of the Golden State - the riverfront resort is a virtual natural preserve with 53 chic cedar-topped individual cabins with access to wide open meadows, wooded nature trails and lush gardens that supply on-site restaurant, Agriculture Public House, as well as wedding and event spaces for up to 300 guests.
Mayer, who helped to open Bridgeton's award-winning resort Marram Montauk as General Manager, has been tapped to lead the reopening of this Sonoma County gem.
Teach Mayer, General Manager of Dawn Ranch, has over 30 years of experiential resort hospitality and management experience. Mayer has been with the Bridgeton Holdings brand since 2019, playing an integral role in the pre-opening and opening of Marram, Montauk's beachfront barefoot luxury resort, where he led high level operations with a focus on guest experience. Previous to joining Marram and Dawn Ranch, Mayer served as General Manager of Sound View in Greenport, NY, under the Filament Hospitality brand.
No stranger to luxury properties, Mayer began his career with Club Med Resorts in 1991, holding numerous hospitality management positions across Asia, Europe, the Caribbean and the Middle East for close to 15 years.
Mayer now resides in Sonoma County with his family to lead the reopening of boutique luxury experiential resort Dawn Ranch. In his free time, Mayer is an avid diver and yogi.
Teach Mayer is an alumnus of Cornell | Nolan School of Hotel Administration – Class of 2001.
