Highlands Resort

Tucked high among the towering redwoods and a short stroll from downtown Guerneville, The Highlands is a quiet, adults-only Russian River getaway with a story that goes back to the 1920s. Settle into a cozy cabin or suite (most come with a gas fireplace and a front porch), or go glamping in a king-bed canvas tent at Coyote Camp in season. Mornings start with a free continental breakfast. Afternoons belong to the heated pool. Then wander into town for wine tasting, Johnson’s Beach, canoes and kayaks, redwood hikes, and Guerneville’s lively LGBTQ+ nightlife. There’s free Wi-Fi but no TV, so pick up a board game, unplug, and let the redwoods do the rest.
