Sonoma County’s Dawn Ranch Re-Emerges As A Lifestyle Resort For Summer 2022

Nestled on the banks of the Russian River in Sonoma County, historic Dawn Ranch has played host to vacationers from San Francisco and around the globe for over a century since opening in 1905. From its beginnings as a dining hall with tented cabins to taking the title of the first gay destination resort in California's wine country, to its closure after 2019's devastating flood, Dawn Ranch's towering redwoods have borne witness to it all. Having most recently operated as a wedding venue until it closed in 2019, the property announces its reopening for the summer as a full service luxury resort for the first time in three years under the operation of Bridgeton Holdings [Walker Hotel Tribeca, Walker Hotel Greenwich Village, Marram Montauk].
