Very clean and quaint hotel.
Nice continental breakfast too. Would stay again. Only negative was too cold and unable to control temperature.

David
Simple but nice little hotel right next to the Russian River. Great German food served in the restaurant. Continental breakfast included with the room rate.
Seung
Breakfast was neat and very good, with choices you can have from typical plates.
Jennifer
It was a great place to stay for a few nights and the restaurant served amazing food.
Anna
We had a great stay here and would return if we find ourselves in Monte Rio!
Danielle
Room was clean, stay included buffet breakfast in large dining room next to the river. Staff was helpful with letter check in. Would stay here again!
Gregory
On the Russian River, with trees around. Quiet even with a lot of activity on the river. Restaurant onsite for dinner was a plus. Good continental breakfast included. Our room was very spacious with balcony on third floor with river views. Our room was air conditioned which we used during the day. There is no elevator so be prepared to climb to second floor for a lot of the rooms.
Geri
Highland Dell lodge sits amongst the peaceful redwoods along the Russian River. The views are wonderful. This vintage hotel is well maintained and very clean and it is a very relaxing place from which to enjoy the river and surroundings. The restaurant is very nice specializing in German cuisine with tables inside or outside, overlooking the river. And the rafters in the dining room ceiling are a spectacular design.
David
This is a charming old-world experience in a well-maintained hotel set in the redwoods beside the Russian River. Rooms are smalll, but clean and comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the river, which we enjoyed. The staff was helpful and friendly. The owner is obviously very proud of his establishment and dedicated to making it a good experience for his patrons. The breakfast is ample. The attached restaurant provides a German cuisine.
Jenn
Wonderful staff and cozy character!
Mike
Would stay again. Great area and nice inn style lodge
George
Close to \"town,\" but not much there. Older building, which means some rustic charm but also some things in need of updating. Friendly staff, but they are gone in the evening - you call the manager at his home if any problems. Breakfast better than expected. Dinner was good, too but not always available. Bar intermittently open...mainly on weekends. The floor in our room was a little tilted, but clean and comfortable. There are a few chairs on the grass behind the building that overlook the river, but nothing special. In summary, a reasonably priced, comfortable place to stay for a few days, but not much to do in the property,
ann
We were very charmed by Highland Dell Inn, which is run by a German family many years. It is set right in the redwoods right on the river and has a little dock to swim from. The room was very clean and bright with a nice balcony and a beautiful view of the river. The Inn is just a few minutes away from Guerneville, which has some nice restaurants. We also chose to eat at the Inn two nights which was very pleasant out on the big deck overlooking the river. Continental breakfast was European style with different breads, meat, cheese, boiled eggs, sweets, yogurt, and granola. This would be a great place to hold a family reunion or a small wedding. We will certainly be back with family and friends.
Jennifer
We loved staying here especially because they allowed our dog to stay in the room which was very clean considering they allow dogs in the rooms. The restaurant at the hotel was very good with German themed meals. The homemade apple strudel was incredible. We sat out on the patio overlooking the Russian River and had a nice quiet dinner. The Russian River area is very beautiful and romantic. The staff was very attentive and gracious with our dog. And the have a wonderful buffet breakfast. We hope to visit again and spend more time enjoying the Russian River.
Michael
It was a great place with best location on the river.
Natalia
Beautiful property and delicious breakfast. The walls are a bit thin so we could hear snoring from other guests. The staff were super helpful and very friendly. Great place to stay near the river!
Sudhir
Nice hotel next to the river. Clean rooms and very helpful staff.
Angelique
Nice, historic property on the river in a peaceful town.
Sally
Room with balcony overlooked the river. Breakfast was clean and filling.
Diane
Our stay was enchanting. We were generously upgraded to a River View room. Though small, the room was very clean, comfortable, relaxing and attractive. The views of the river, the beach and forested hills were breathtaking. Breakfast in the morning was upgraded continental and enjoyable. Staff was exceptional. The two nights at this beautiful lodge was pure joy!
Jeremy
Excellent room located above the river with sweeping views. Hot shower, modern TV, breakfast was included and was more than we expected. Large parking lot and friendly staff. Highland Dell Lodge was great!
David
GM Herb was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The location was nice with a view of the river. The only problem was that the room size was very small with the queen bed taking up most the floor space of the room. The included breakfast was modest but adequate. The hotel is very old but clean and well maintained.
Ana
The hotel is beautiful right by the river, the restaurant food.. just ok.
Frank
It was a pretty small room but very functional
Adriana
So friendly & accommodating. German dinner was DELICIOUS!
Raj
yes, the location is grat and
Cathie
From the moment we arrived til we left we were taken care of…
It started with upgrading our room to twin Queen beds (no up charge) then helping us navigate activities and recommendations.
We enjoyed both dinner with a view of the River and sunset and the complimentary breakfast with amazing fresh baked muffins, fresh bread, hard boiled eggs, etc
Coffee was lovely, fresh and plentiful
We had a delay with our pick up and were told no rush to check out.
Truly a relaxing and enjoyable night on the Russian River and we wished we could stay for the week
(Rooms are quaint, small but not cramped. Plenty of parking and the restaurant offers fresh German entrees and dessert)

Gabriela
I had such a nice time visiting the area and the hotel was clean, serene and the staff were simply wonderful. I will definitely be returning!
Arlene
Room is very clean, breakfast is really good. The carpet and outside patio can be better.
Joel
Cozy place to rest and enjoy the nature at the same time. The hotel is in front of the river which makes you have a beautiful view always. The free breakfast is really good! In addition, the restaurant of the hotel has an amazing chef whom makes all the food delicious.The German couple made this place magical. Totally recommend!
Todd
Room was perfect, owner and staff amazing and the authentic German cuisine stellar!
Janet
Clean rooms, friendly staff. Very nice stay
Joel S.
Amazing staff and ambiance.
Richard
The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, the continental breakfast decent, and the staff friendly. The lobby was warm and inviting, and the views of the Russian River were incredible. We can't wait to book our next stay there!
Wendy
Charm! Charm! Charm! From the moment I drove up in the driving rain, until pulling out in the drizzle, Highland Dell Lodge exceeded my expectations! Check in was the self explanatory keys in an envelope taped to the door. The lobby was cozy and artistically designed with board games by a river stone fireplace. Up the stairs to my modest sized room with a balcony overlooking the river and I found the peace I was hoping for to ring in the new year. French doors I opened to the sound of the rain and ducks greeting each other. A comfortable bed, crisp linens, good options on the TV, and a shallow but long bathtub gave me much needed repose. Sleep came easy after hearing the sounds of revelry echoing on the river at Midnight. In the morning, included breakfast in the event center. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays with lights, a tree, village houses and gifts. Continental breakfast options included fresh fruit, yogurts, hard boiled eggs, juice, cereals, an array of fresh baked goods, and more. The patio with a bridge and river view was a tranquil spot for my first meal of the new year. A checkout and chat with the amiable host and owner of Highland Dell completed my stay. I highly recommend a stay, or even hosting an event at this beautiful and comfortable venue.
Kyle
Staff was great. Hotel is less than excellent but clean and average. Has restaurant and bar, so that was convenient after long travel day.
Brian
Quaint but simple venue. Clean and well maintained:m. Helpful staff. Tasty foods at breakfast.

Nikko

George
Great staff and cute basic place. Showers need some updating.
Kristine
Really nice location. Clean (albeit a few cobwebs in the room) updated older property. Had a nice vibe reminiscent of days gone by. Very accommodating innkeepers- friendly and efficient in meeting our needs. Would have loved to have had a tea kettle and a mini fridge in the room, though space is tight. We would go back again.
Fred
Loved our stay! Room was quaint and comfortable. Housekeeping spotless. We enjoyed a tasty dinner in the restaurant. Highly recommend a stay here.
Richard
Nice 60s design with excellent modent amenities.

Beautiful inn by the River.
Wonderful inn with a unique and updated but historical feel; owners were very personable. Picturesque views, great restaurant. Highly recommend!
Pamela
Very quaint hotel with a view of the river. Breakfast was continental; dinner was in the dining room or outside on the patio.
Only issue was that there is no elevator and rooms are upstairs. I struggled with my bags up and down stairs. There was staff there but they paid no attention. Other older guests were there so I’m not sure how they managed.

Clean room, very cozy - not a lot of things around but that’s just the area it’s remote. Cute view and yummy breakfast pastries
Meliha
Room was very nice and clean. Love the view to the forest. We met the owners, very nice and approachable people. Highly recommend this play if you want a quiet place and to refuel your soul with nature.
Ian
Clean and relaxing
My parents were staying in the hotel for their anniversary and I surprised them and stayed for the night. The staff was wonderful and the grounds were beautiful. We could walk to the beach over the bridge
Chance
Hidden gem on the river
An amazing weekend away. Went for our anniversary and couldn’t have picked a better stay. Everything was spotless and friendly. We had a beautiful view from our deck of the beach on the other side of the river and the German restaurant downstairs was delicious as well.
Pamela
Family run. Food was delicious 😋 So peaceful. Even music from across the river made for excellent atmosphere. Easy to take my little fur baby out for potty. Very welcoming.
Sholeh

Richard
Very friendly staff and great views.
steve
No AC. Room was smaller than depicted in photos. Front Room door inadequate to silence noises from hall. Room walls thin and do not keep out sound from adjacent rooms.
Moira
The owners and staff at this hotel are wonderfully kind, attentive and friendly. They treat guests with a personal approach which is completely rare these days. They make you feel as if you really are guest in their home, which in fact you are, as this is a family run business. So refreshing after most places which are completely impersonal and run only for profit. This place is charming, spotlessly clean, wonderful included breakfast and they have an excellent restaurant as well as a popular bar. The hotel is exceptionally quiet and the setting by the Russian River surrounded by the beautiful trees and greenery makes this feel like a safe haven. It is a really specia place.
Michael
The room was beautiful and overlooked the river. The managers were so kind and fun to talk to. The bed was comfy! We will definitely be back!
Scott
Quiet hidden gem wit a European flair from the decor to the in-house restaurant. It’s quaint and romantic.
Deborah
We loved the Dell but our room lacked a closet and a table. We did not have adequate room to unpack anything. Other than that the linen was superb, comfortable beds and soft immaculate towels.
We would return but just request a larger room.

Joel
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.
Lana
Excellent, clean room. Tasty free breakfast. Kind staff. What more could you want?
Sandra
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.
Dianne
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.
Robert
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.
Verified traveler
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.

Valerie
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.
AMILCAR ENRIQUE HIDALGO
Very good
Monica
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.
Rachel
The host was very nice and accommodating. The room was beautiful and clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Thank you!
Veronica
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.
Elsa
We love this hotel. Beautiful, extremely, quiet, clean and we love the breakfast.
We will definitely go back again!!

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.
Jasmeeta
Beautiful and relaxing area. A nice river view , but town doesn’t have a lot of dining options. Lodge has a restaurant

charlie
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.
Alexis
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.

Very peaceful location and friendly staff. Had a great glass of wine at the bar and a delicious German dinner.

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.
