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.

This place was the cutest little bed and breakfast around the scenic Drive to get there through the redwoods was my favorite. Once we got there, we didn’t have to leave the restaurant that is there is amazing and the breakfast in the morning was perfect! Would highly recommend this property to any 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.

Excellent stay!

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay here with our dog. The location was great, room super clean and food at their restaurant was delicious (homemade German food)! We really enjoyed our time there and will likely visit again.

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.

Our stay was great. Great service and staff. Breakfast was a little disappointing because they only served bread, fruit, and coffee. But other than that, the food served for lunch and dinner was great.

Great place to stay that is near the beach but also gives you the feel of staying on the rouge river in Oregon. Didn’t get the chance to experience the restaurant, but there was a complimentary breakfast and the staff was just so kind!
