I was expecting a remote and simple living experience with pleasant coastal views. With the highway closed to traffic just two miles to the north and therefore no through traffic, it certainly was isolated. The cabin was well maintained and comfortable, but it is the views that sell the place. They are breathtaking.

Beautiful landscape and very clean. The internet is very spotty and there are no tvs. Atleast not in our room. However, we were not there to be online. We truly enjoyed the amazing view and quaint atmosphere. We will definitely return.

Absolutely loved the property the view is incredible worth the drive . We will stay here again ! The owner literally called me and text me with different updates and information regarding the road closure on up from the lodge with that said if you are like us look into that we traveled here from sandiego area getting to the lodge was great leaving we had two options because we were continuing north up the coast sketchy but Gorgeous cut thru the mountain road that takes 2 1/2 hrs or go all the way back 3 1/2 hour loop around situation. It was our first time driving in the mountains it was an experience we will never forget! The views are unforgettable I can not put into words the beauty of this area . Be prepared for the road closure take the cut thru road you won’t regret this hotel .

Beautiful property and helpful staff. Such a wonderfully remote and quiet space to enjoy the heart of Big Sur in Lucia. If you are looking for quiet beauty to relax and reflect this is the place! Not far from other resorts and restaurants. Amazing location and view. Knowledgeable and extremely friendly staff.

Best views of the ocean anywhere. Room was clean and comfortable. No TV, but we didn't care. The close up view of the ocean is the entertainment.

There is no words to describe the area. The property is on a cliff overlooking a very breathtaking ocean view. The trip to the property is an adventure itself. Big Sur is amazing. The property would be the best ending to unwind. Advice to those who are booking, please ensure your email has been received before you go. Note the lock box combination and room number from that email. There is no cell signal in most of the locations in Big Sur even to Carmel so download the maps. There is instructions in the signage at the property entrance in case you need to contact the property manager. There is no check in on property site so make sure you get your room key combo and room number info. If ever you need to contact them, you would need to connect to public wifi and pay the fee before you could call as again there is no signal. If you have prepared well, then this is the paradise that you would be very happy you have discovered. This place is beyond amazing. I was a solo traveler on Memorial Day weekend. It was an amazing retreat for me. I stayed overnight. Enjoy and safe travels.

This place is a gem!

This place is a gem. It’s located at the end of the road for now because Highway One is currently closed a few miles past Lucia. The result is a super quiet atmosphere with very little to no traffic on the highway. The property contacted me in several ways to inform me about this closure. The room was super clean, with linens and bedding quality/cleanliness on par with those of a Hilton. Super comfortable with everything one needs to spend the night. This property is run by a crew who really cares. The views from this location are absolutely breathtaking. There is a little trail behind the property that will lead you to a hilltop. The observation point over the coast from there is out of this world! I’ll definitely come back to make up for the fact that I had to leave super early to be on time for a meeting.

Amazing view. The drive is worth the view and the simple quaint cabin was ideal. No TV or fluff. Just sound of the ocean waves and the birds singing. Simple yet beautiful peacefulness. I would stay here again.
