Service was wonderful, nice breakfast
Room is tiny. Way too small for 2 people with more than 1 suitcase. Only one tiny sink with no edge to put anything on.

Weekend in the top floor suite
Stayed for one weekend. Good location. Nice being right on the water. Easy parking and check in. Very casual place. OLD bones - creaky floors and not very sound proof. But the owners were very nice and having the restaurant there was helpful. Unfortunately, the 3rd floor "suite" had a fly issue. Some cracks in the door frame allow them in and each day, they came in by the dozens. As long as you are OK with fly killing duty - its fine... but I would have preferred NOT to deal with that.

Quaint Hotel in a Magical Place
The hotel was right on the River. The restaurant was great . The owners were super nice, but not the type of owners that get to know their customers. They just say hi and bye and here’s your key. Just mentioning this because we are the type of travelers that like to get to know people a little, so we thought that was strange. Still loved the place. They do have balconies on the river, but we weren’t offered this option, so we were able to sit on the lawn behind the hotel and enjoy the river for a little while. The breakfast was great. Super clean. There are no heaters/ac in the individual rooms, they just have a main thermostat in the hallway set at 66 degrees. Super cute and super safe hotel.

The Highland Dell is a sweet hotel that has a fantastic European inn vibe. We loved staying here and plan to stay there again. The German food in the restaurant is wonderful as well.

September 12, 2024
Not recommending this property! The room was small, the bed was hard and very uncomfortable so were the pillows, they were too soft and didn’t offer neck support. The sheets and pillowcases smelled strongly like bleach , it was suffocating. I didn’t get much sleep. The room didn’t have a refrigerator nor microwave, nor pressing iron. The air didn’t work and it got warm during the night.
I left early since I could bear being there for another night.

Along Russian River
The hotel.was vey clean and in a quiet area. The balcony was overseeing the river. The restaurant was closed that night but the receptionist recommended a restaurant a couple hundred yards away, which was.also very nice.

It was nice having the balcony looking out at the river. Nice having the bar and restaurant. The hours were very limited but still nice. Very friendly staff. The "breakfast" was ok, we thought there would be better selection. Was easy to walk around Monte Rio area, which we really like. The Lodge has lots of character and we enjoyed our stay.

The property is charming but dated. Room was clean but not in good shape. There is a big stain above our bed with prior leek or collapse sealing. When we walked in we smell chemicals that probably were use to clean the room. The front desk gave us a fan to air it out, but never offered to change the room. Smell subsided but never went away. For B&B breakfast was mediocre, small continental breakfast like in motel. Location is great, right on the bank of Russian river, but to get to it is a challenge.

Tucked in the redwoods
It was a lovely place tucked in the redwoods! Took a walk and picked a few blackberries!
