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 how to treat a guest! No hovering over you, but available always. Thinking of a second home on Russian River? You have one at the Highland Dell Lodge.

The Highland Dell is a beautiful building in a beautiful setting. Good food,friendly service and great attention to detail. We had a great stay and will return. Thanks Herbie and Ingrid and all your staff who help make it nice.

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 the best food in the region, but pretty darn good and easy as can be. Our room as bright and clean and comfy. The internet connection was good. All in all, a place to come back to.

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 country.
