I booked a stay at Highlands based on the glowing reviews on this site, and felt that I had to voice my experience for the sake of other customers that might have similar tastes as myself. I love nature and the outdoors, however when booking a hotel room I do expect a certain level of quality. The room we reserved... More

Thank you for your feedback. The cabin you booked was our Two Room Cabin. To answer some of your concerns, the rust stains in the sink are caused by galvanized plumbing, which we have since replaced. There is a bit of water damage to the baseboards next to the shower, but had any mention of cleanliness or mold been made... More

The best part is they are a very short walk to town, but buried in the woods! Feels like a true getaway. I stayed in cabin #3, which has 2 beds and 2 rooms, woodstove, and a great front deck. I had to change rooms the 2nd night, (#15) and moved to a small room, not a cabin, but very... More

I first came to the Highlands in 1981, long before the current owners were in place. I have stayed in almost every cabin, but most often bring my tent and camp in the meadow. I appreciate many things about this resort: it's walking distance to town, it's a quiet, laid back resort (no blaring music, so noisy bar, etc.), it... More

Beautiful, detached cabin with its own terrace with sunlounger and two patio chairs to sit at the table with umbrella. Cabins all set around redwood trees and feels so cool and calm in the scorching hot days that we were there. Stayed in Cabin No.7 which had an enormous (by our European standards) King-size bed that was very comfortable. Furthermore... More

This was, I think, our 5th visit to Highlands. What brings us back all the way from England? The cabins are great, the owners are great, the town is great ( with plenty of bars and cafes / restaurants) the area is amazing ( especially the Armstrong reserve if you like hiking / wildlife ) and simply the way you...

After reading the other reviews I was amazed at the few curmudgeons who claimed it was not gay friendly. The amount of repeat business alone at the Highlands lays that claim to rest. I've been staying there for years and have always came away refreshed, rejuvenated and with my batteries fully recharged. I often tell the Innkeepers that if I... More

This place is nice, charming and great location 2 minutes away from the main street. Nice "living room" with TV and an OK pool area. Rooms are small cottages, quite cute and cosy but slightly old and a bit worn. However, breakfast is nothing to write home about - unless you really appreciate homemade, average granola! And for all this,... More

The grounds, the staff, the amenities, all were what we were looking for in a clothing optional resort in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Our room was the Garden Suite just off the pool area. Bed confortable, quiet location, nice deck off the room. What we didn't like; sparse kitchen and most of all; the not-so-private bathroom. I... More

We absolutely loved our stay at Highlands Resort and fell in love with the place on our first day. Lynette was charming, friendly and helpful. It was the perfect place to get away from the noise and clamor of the big city. The room was comfortable and clean, and we had no hassles at all. We met some nice people... More

My friend and I were in Sonoma for the Grape to Glass weekend and we stayed at The Highlands resort. The location was excellent for our wine events as well as evening fun at the Triple R. The grounds were nice - forested and quiet. THe folks running the place were very friendly and interested in what we had planned... More
