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.

My room was basic, but clean, modern, and comfortable . A perfectly fine place to sleep. I spent two nights. The first night the hotel was nearly empty and I slept well. However, the second night there were more guests and I discovered that the walls were extremely thin. So much noise leaked into the room from the lobby, hallway, and most unpleasantly the couple having a very good time (ahem) in the room upstairs. Nobody was being exceptionally loud, it just seemed to have zero sound insulation. Getting to sleep after 2 am was not what I needed after a long exhausting day out. One positive is that the continental breakfast is quite nice. The food is fresh and of good quality, with variety. Freshly boiled eggs, meats and cheeses, fresh breads and pastries, some tasty fruit are some examples. I would rate the hotel higher if the noise hadn't been such an issue.

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Highland Dell. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the accommodations were exactly what we were looking for. This historic lodge is a hidden gem, beautifully nestled among trees and surrounded by natural beauty. No matter where I stood, I was treated to a unique view of either the forest or the river. The on-site restaurant also provided a wonderful dining experience. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to return.

A Gem on the Russian River

The hotel and room were lovely. The room had a small balcony overlooking the river. While the room was not large it was very comfortable with all the amenities including a large TV. My room was on the second floor reached only by a small staircase. This might be an issue for people who have mobility problems. The dining room was very nice that included a nice bar. My friends and I had dinner there and overall the food was very good, perhaps a tad expensive in that the main course included no sides. The service was quite acceptable although our waiter made a mistake a brought the wrong pasta dish to one of my friends. Finally, Herb the manager, was very friendly and accomodating. All in all, I really enjoyed my stay there, would definitely visit again and I would certainly recommend the Highland Dell Lodge.

Nice, relaxing getaway!!!

It was a relaxing get away. One complaint was the pillows, I like feather pillows but they aren't firm enough for my girlfriend. Maybe 1 feather and another firm for each side. However the food at the restaurant was AMAZING. The schnitzel was OMG good.

I had a great stay here! I didn’t receive a reply to email questions before, but a local phoned them for me. I was arriving after the end of check in time. They were great and left keys and instructions for me. Everything was really clean, had everything I needed and they helped with anything else I needed. Lovely helpful staff. Other rooms toilet flushes could be heard but ear plugs sorted that. Great bed, toilet and shower. Super cute room I really happy with. Super safe as I was a woman travelling alone and didn’t worry at all. Lovely breakfast to help yourself to. Really enjoyed my stay!
