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!

We had a very nice stay at Highland Dell Lodge. It had a cozy vibe. The restaurant on site was good with nice view of the mountains from our table. The breakfast was next level continental. They had more choices than any other continental breakfast I have ever had at a hotel. It is very close to Armstrong Redwoods. There is not a lot to do in the area but if you are looking for a relaxing place to enjoy the scenery and comfortable room with friendly staff you will really like this place.

The lodge is a very nice building situated off the beaten path, next to The Russian River. The room was cozy and basic. They have a restaurant and bar but was closed on Wednesday. The reason I gave it four stars is because: 1) We arrived around 5, hungry and dissapointed to find out the restaurant was closed. 2) This being the case and because of it's remote location, there are not a lot of choices. It would have been nice to know ahead of time or have a sheet with information as to where to eat. The golf course, about two miles from the lodge, seemed like the only choice. 3) We were told to let ourselves in when we got back from dinner (the desk person left after checking us in) and to lock the front door when we got back. It does say on their information that the front desk is staffed during limited hours. The old lodge is very nice, udated, well kept but considering there was only one other couple staying, that we noticed, we didn't feel the front desk staff was very welcoming.

A nice, clean old lodge on the river. Rooms are small but if you get one facing the river they have a small but adequate deck which is highly recommend. Breakfast is included which has a nice selection of breads, fruits and other continental offerings. I’d definitely go back.
