Courteous staff and easy check in. Roomy cabin (14), but there was a distinct smell of burnt wood (from the fireplace). Location is ideal if you want to visit the nearby parks or trails.

The location of the Lodge was perfect, we are already planning to go again. Room was spotless, loved having bottled water and electric kettle for morning coffe, this was a plus for me. We had dinner at their restaurant, I ordered a burger an it was great. However my husband's was subpar, he had the chicken and rice plate, it seems they were short staffed on the resturant and its understandable that things will take time, but in terms of quality there is room for improvement.

The cabin-rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. It's in a great location for what I wanted to do. The desk clerk said the internet was only available at the club house. But I received internet perfectly in my room. Lots of hiking in the Pfeiffer State park and close to the access road to the Pfeiffer State Beach. The room rates were very reasonable for the area.

Great, quiet away from home and subtle retreat. The area is pricey for food, and the lodge hours vary for bfast, lunch and dinner, but they provide coffee in the room. Overall a great experience for Big Sur.

We stayed on Thursday 2/28/26. Thankfully they let us check in one hour earlier (I did call beforehand to request it). The hotel allows you to do check in online beforehand and that was helpful. The hotel was quiet and we had a king room with a small deck and it was perfect. Bed was a little firm, but the room was very clean. No tv's, no internet in the rooms which was actually nice because we enjoyed sitting outside for the evening. Would love to come back and sightsee some more in the area. Also because our trip was short, we didn't get to try the restaurant so I can't comment on that.
