This little piece of a paradise was a dream of Leigh’s for many years and we are so happy to share it with you. Please know it is special to us and we hope you will treat it like your home.

If you are someone who likes to know a little history about the property we are happy to share it with you. Dawn Hill Ranch was built by Gerald “Jerry” Baldwin, an English American businessman, who along with Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl founded Starbucks in Seattle in 1971. Mr. Baldwin learned the coffee trade from Alfred Peet, whose store Peet’s Coffee & Tea was the inspiration for Starbucks.

Mr. Baldwin planted the Zinfandel grapes on the property in 1978 and the vineyard is dry farmed organically and yields about 80 cases of Zinfandel each year. In 2011, the 2007 Dawn Hill Ranch Zinfandel won the Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and as you can imagine sold out shortly thereafter. The 2007 DHR Zinfandel was described as a medium to full-bodied wine with concentrated dark cassis and plum. It was aged in barrel for thirty months.

In addition to the vineyard, there are also about 85 Olive trees on the property that yield about fifty gallons of olive oil each year. Its fun to sample the wine and olive oil and we may be biased but they both are quite good! There is also a fruit orchard on the property adjacent to the lower patio. There are persimmons, figs, pomegranates and pears, plums, apples and oranges for the taking come summer.

Mr Baldwin and his wife, sold the property several years ago to another family and we bought it from them in 2014.

Exceptional Experience
Our stay in wine country was absolutely unforgettable. Dawn Hill Ranch was nothing short of spectacular—spacious, beautifully decorated, and with stunning views of the surrounding mountains and vineyard. What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was our hostess. Leigh went above and beyond, offering fantastic recommendations for local wineries, hidden gems for dining, and scenic towns to explore. Her attention to detail made us feel right at home, and her insider tips helped us discover the best of what the region had to offer. It was the perfect getaway to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday with 6 of our closest friends.

Great summer retreat
Wonderful stay with the family. We all enjoyed hanging out by the pool, relaxing on the deck, playing board games outside to enjoy the gorgeous view. The kids even enjoyed watching the nearby wildlife. The house is well-maintained, and even manages the details well -- the towels are fluffy, the beds are comfy, the speakers are arranged well for enjoying music while hanging out or cooking. Even got some wonderful restaurant recommendations from the owner. Great experience!

Best weekend ever!
We stayed at DHR in mid July. It was a family birthday celebration. There were four couples. This property was amazing! Bedrooms have plenty of privacy. The outdoor spaces were amazing. Plenty of room to spread out. We cooked dinner in the house three of the nights. The kitchen was amazing! Everything we needed to make gourmet meals. The host was extremely attentive. I messaged her several times over the course of a month and she usually got back to me within an hour. I hope to stay here again. It was a great family getaway.

Fabulous Stay in Wine Country
We had a fabulous time at this property. There are really 2 separate areas of the house, each with 2 bedrooms (accessible by a staircase outside) so it works well for 2 families staying together or a larger group. The plentiful outdoor space was so lovely with a pool area with tons of seating as well as the deck upstairs with a large table and another seating area around the fire pit. The house was very well stocked, clean and beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I along with 4 adult friends spent a glorious week at DHR during our son’s wedding. The location was perfect, close to town yet very private property. The house is attractive, updated and very comfortable with two levels. But the outdoor space and pool area are just amazing. Overall a great experience!

Sonoma Wine Country Paradise!
My wife, three daughters, and I had a fabulous stay at Dawn Hill Ranch. Host Leigh was very welcoming and provided excellent recommendations of things to do (restaurants, hiking, local events) during our stay. Dawn Hill Ranch even has an app/website that houses all the pertinent information in one convenient location. Leigh greeted us at the home upon our arrival to ensure we comfortable with where everything was and how things functioned before departing. The home and property are incredible. The views from the elevated deck are vineyards down below and Sonoma mountains in the distance. My wife and I spent our evenings on the deck drinking wine next to the gas fireplace. Our kids spent nearly every waking moment in and around the pool / hot tub. The entire home is wired with a Sonos sound system so we could enjoy music on the deck, at the pool, or anywhere else around the house. I would highly recommend Dawn Hill Road for anyone looking to stay at a home in Sonoma Wine Country.

A Sonoma Paradise!
Book this house now! Amazing views, endless amenities, and unforgettable memories. We went on our annual girls trip and picked this gem. Couldn’t have been happier. We were gone all day enjoying the wineries then back to enjoy the pool, hot tub and fire pit. One night we had a private chef come in and WOW just wow! Everything was just perfect. I have ZERO complaints. Leigh was always available and keeps an immaculate home. Check out their winery right there on the property!

We really enjoyed our family vacation in this beautiful home. We enjoyed wine tasting and being picked up and dropped off at the house! The owner gave us a wonderful suggestion of which company to work with. We also arranged for massage therapists to come to the house one day (that was a genius idea!) During the day we enjoyed hanging out in the pool, in the evenings we enjoyed wine on the deck, all such good memories of laughing, talking and enjoying family time. Our group included a teenage boy and a 90 year old grandma and everyone had a great time!

Private, beautifully appointed, wonderful gathering place
This is a beautiful home. It does not feel like a rental. The design of the space made it easy for the 6 of us to feel close but also have enough space. The home is appointed with a high end kitchen, beautiful bathroom, fantastic beds and bedding. The pool is a great add and the hot tub heats up in 10 minutes. Even though it was a very cold 4 days for us we spent a lot of time in the tub and pool. Having two floors with bedrooms was goo also. You can't go wrong with this house.

Beautiful oasis in Sonoma county
Our group loved Leigh's beautiful home. The pool area was a true oasis and felt incredibly private, with gorgeous views over the vineyard. The home was spacious, cozy, and elegant - great decor, incredibly comfortable beds, and a seriously well-stocked kitchen. We had an amazing private chef meal from Chef Spencer on the deck outside that felt so special and loved sitting by the fire pit at night. It was great to have Sonos speakers hooked up for playing music on the deck or by the pool. Leigh was very responsive and answered any questions we had. It was the perfect location for our group of 5 to spend some quality time and catch up, while still having access to great locations in Sonoma (Valley Bar & Bottle, Beacon cocktail bar in Sonoma, etc.) and Napa counties. Would definitely recommend!

Wine Country Oasis
Leigh’s vineyard home made our family vacation perfect. Pictures don’t do this property justice. The home is very well equipped, every tool you could possibly think of is in the gourmet kitchen. The whole house is tastefully decorated with comfy high quality furnishings. We enjoyed the outdoor pool, additionally, the pool table in the lower room was a huge hit with our family. There are breathtaking views from the deck, overlooking the vineyard and olive grove, and the mountains in the distance. We visited many nearby wineries as well as those in Napa. We enjoyed the house so much that we opted to cancel some wine tastings to stay “home”. Leigh is a great communicator and a very gracious host. We hope to return soon.
