We stayed at the Lodge for a wedding and the staff was great, friendly, food was excellent, especially the apple strudel with homemade whip cream. It was quiet, clean, easy parking. The only reason not awarded 5 stars is because the rooms are tad small for 4 people, so not much room to layout suit cases or sit on something other than the bed.

Quaint lodge right at rivers edge however there’s no direct access to the river from hotel. A big, lovely river beach is just across the bridge. Rooms are simple, no closets, only 4 hooks for a double queen room, a minor inconvenience. Breakfast is great with a variety of food. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I’d definitely recommend this wonderful lodge.

Highland Dell is a lovely old lodge overlooking the beautiful Russian River. The host were friendly and helpful. The bed is very comfortable. I highly recommend dining at the restaurant. Our schnitzel was excellent and the house-made apple strudel is unsurpassed! I keep thinking about it. The breakfast included with the room is the best, by far, I have had at a hotel. Try the pastries. The rooms are VERY small, but nice, like in the old days when people didn't have as much stuff. Get over it. This place is special.

Comfortable bed and very. Pleasantly air conditioned. Decent continental breakfast. But not quite worth the price-- not a 4 or 5 star experience. Room was very small with only one small straight chair on which towels were placed, since there was no other location for them. Tiny sink in the room with almost no place to put things down. Very small bathroom. Noise from guests walking in room above.

Nice place but much noise

The location is great and the owners pleasant but unfortunately the room was very noisy. Anyone moving around upstairs, or alarms were heard in our downstairs room as if in our room. There was also a dog that barked for some time each afternoon. I also have to say that the water took so long to become warm that I was very concerned about water usage.

A nice lodge in the middle of the redwoods. Breakfast included and convenient parking provided. Property overlooks the Russian River. No elevator, so you must be able to walk up for upper level rooms.
