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 were any more relaxed I would be comatose.

Ken & Lynette's sense of humor, along with their excellent concierge skills, make your stay everything you desire it to be.

My favorite things:
Movie night with popcorn every night at 8 in the lounge.
Homemade muffins, granola and diesel coffee
The peace and quiet of the surroundings
Housedog Olive who sees every guest as an opportunity to play
Sitting in the hot tub with a light rain falling
Watching the stars thru the giant redwoods
The way people disconnect from the electronic world
Guests conversations in the reading room

I'll be back for certain!!

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, you simply pay too much! End of story...

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 consider a private bath as having a "door" that you can close, not a curtain.

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 who were staying there at the same time as us. This is the place to go if you want to relax in a natural setting. We'll definitely go back there!
