Directions

If your idea of a perfect getaway involves redwoods, quiet cabins, and slowing down for a few days...

The Highlands is hard to beat. This adults-only resort is tucked among towering redwoods in Guerneville, creating the kind of setting where it's easy to forget about your schedule entirely.

What makes it especially appealing is the location. You're within walking distance of downtown Guerneville's restaurants, shops, galleries, nightlife, and Johnson's Beach, while still feeling completely surrounded by nature.

And if you're exploring Sonoma County's redwoods, Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve is only a few minutes away, making this an excellent basecamp for a redwood-focused weekend.
