I recently stayed at Dawn Ranch, and while I loved the laid-back vibe and beautiful location, there were a few hiccups that held it back from being perfect. The cabins were cozy and comfortable, but the service could be better. The continental breakfast was tasty, but the dinner experience was a letdown. Overall, I enjoyed my time but faced a few challenges.
