The owners, Herb and Ingrid, are German expats that have made the Highland Dell their little alpine hotel. The friendly atmosphere, bar and restaurant more than make up for the "tiny" but well maintained rooms. The buffet breakfasts are really nice and when there aren't many people staying there, Herb will special order for you. The area is somewhat depressed... More

We stayed in two queen/balcony rooms for five days - a family holiday. We were the only people for four days during the week - it was like having our own home. Herb or Ingrid made breakfast each morning - eggs, bacon, bagels, english muffins, with a great selection of hot and cold cereals, juice, milk, coffee. They have a... More

This was a great hotel, they normally do not take new guest checking in on Wed but our travel dates changed and they allowed us to do so. We were the only guest in the whole hotel [we felt special]. The inn keeper was really friendly and made us a great breakfast the next morning. The rooms are small but... More

This hotel has much to recommend it--great location, charming building and rooms (if quite small), friendly staff. However, I couldn't help feeling that the hotel part of this lodge is a bit of an afterthought. There is a large restaurant attached with a bar, and often live music, and that absorbs the owners' and staffs' attention much of the time.... More

Rustic on the outside and regal on the inside with modern appointments. They have somehow managed simplistic elgance within this crisp bright Swiss Chalet style Inn. Wander about like it's you own home. Great dinner show with Barry "the Fish" Melton was just the start of my great stay. Good food and accommodations and I do mean accommodate...these folks know...

We stayed here a couple of nights over a birthday weekend and it's a delightful place, away from the hustle and bustle of Guerneville but close enough to make it easy to strike out to Jenner or up river to Burke's to rent a canoe. Breakfast is easy and delightful and the restaurant serves a good German dinner -- not... More

We have stayed at the Highland Dell Lodge twice. It is a beautiful historic building that has been meticulously restored with attention to every detail. They have a good restaurant and breakfast is included in the cost of your room. Prices are very reasonable. Monte Rio is a quiet place perfectly situated between the rugged California coast and the wine... More

What though it was a small room—best to step outside to change your mind—it was, nonetheless, adequate, with sink separate from shower and W.C., and if you didn’t mind asking the desk clerk for a top sheet (strangely, missing beneath the luxurious duvet), it worked, withal. And dinner on the deck overlooking the river was leisurely, delicious, ultimately graced by... More
