Nestled among the Santa Lucia Mountains, Hidden Valley Inn is just 5 minutes walk to Carmel Valley Village where guests can explore many wine tasting rooms, boutique shops, and fine restaurants... I love everything of this place !!!
The place is located at state park with options for trails. There was no breakfast so that's somewhat inconvenient. The room itself as a nice fireplace, a hot tub in the terrace and a comfortable bed. But the shower is tiny.
We liked Big Sur Lodge, the scenery along Hwy. 1, and the walk to to Pfeiffer waterfall in the Park 13 miles south. It's fairly easy to get around if the drive does not intimidate you. But the shortage of park rangers makes it difficult to find certain trails & info. We liked eating and sitting at the River Inn. Forget going to Point Lobos. It is so crowded you can't park near the main hiking trail, and you may, in fact, not be able to park there at all. Sadly, Big Sur is becoming too popular and crowded on holidays or in the summer. Go there at the other times.
This is my second time I’m staying. First was like heaven. But second because of climate, fires, and of course corona, it wasn’t fun at all. So many people in river, we couldn’t even get a chair to Soak our feet on the cold river . Restaurant wasn’t pleasurable. You ordering your food First to go. Then go to restaurant area you canSit and eat your meal, which is like fast food style. Over roll I love this hotel. I definitely come back again.
Majestic; serene; a bit like stepping into another time period (in a good way) - no TVs, cell phones, wifi in much of Big Sur; awesome natural beauty with forested cliffs overlooking wild pacific surf.
We greatly enjoyed the Monterey Aquarium, 17 mile drive, Ventana Resort, Treebones yurts, beautiful hiking, the sea lions and just the spectacular scenery. We went specifically to San Luis Obispo for the farmer's market and were disappointed in the small turnout from vendors that we had experienced a few years before. Wished we hadn't spent the night in San Francisco and had driven over to the coast when we got off the plane, but we'll know the next time.
Travellers should be aware that we found Wood Ticks on our clothing after a short hike through the grassy trail down to the beach. If you find a reddish bulls-eye type rash anywhere on your body after being out in nature, you may have been bitten by a tick and you are at risk of contracting debilitating Lyme Disease so medical attention should be sought. There are products which can be used to protect against and to prevent Tick bites. Prevention is the best remedy. Be prepared to stop for other tourists or for Road Crews while driving on the coastal highways. There were many Road Crews working on the roads as they seem to have continued issues with their roads at Big Sur. For Breakfast or anytime, stop at Ripplewood café...Good food that will fill you up. Some of the trails at Big Sur were a bit steep and sandy with loose soil/gravel which made walking difficult for those in the group wearing flip flops. Big Sur is such beautiful country, and is definitely worth visiting if you enjoy viewing somewhat remote and beautiful scenery, watching ocean waves crashing on rocks and racing up the beach, taking in stunning, peaceful, quiet sunsets, or, if you prefer to be more active, the many opportunities for walking and hiking. Bring your camera! Around every corner is a another breath taking view. I can't wait to visit again.
Big Sur
Large and nicely decorated room. Proper glass cups in the room rather than plastic as we've had nearly everywhere else in the USA - good for the environment! Staff very friendly, especially the waitress for dinner who was great and super LGBT+ friendly! Great location close to the sights of Big Sur and has it's own trial up to the top of the mountain through the red woods.

Absolutely stunning property. Surrounded by redwoods with incredible views of the coast. Very peaceful. The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean and well maintained. Close to the best hikes in Big Sur.
