I just loved the wood cabin surrounded by giant redwoods. The cabin was so well equipped and so comfortable. Tubing (free tube rental) was such fun. Great to have individual fire pits and outdoor seating. We struggled to light the firewood so maybe some extra fire-lighting supplies would be useful

Almost everything. We stayed there just for the night, so don't have a lot of feedback. But everything was comfortable. Although it says no breakfast, they do have coffee and pastries in the lounge every morning at 8. The pastries are really good 😊

The pool was naturally salted with no chlorine, and the 104°F hot tub was perfect for stargazing at night. Breakfast was à la carte, with a lovely lady personally making us avocado toast—such thoughtful service. Plenty of hot drink options and a beautiful seating area. The staff were fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring.

Not only was the room very clean it was spacious. The weather did not exactly cooperate so I did not get to enjoy the patio outside the room with the garden view. I will definitely look to stay here in my next visit to Carmel Valley.

Don't miss Big Sur! A truly beautiful spot.

Don't miss Big Sur! A truly beautiful spot. A highlight for us was the hike around Lobos Point where the wildlife is abundant and the scenery breathtaking. Eating out was pricey but we stayed at Big Sur campground and cabins where we able to cater for ourselves. During April the roads were reasonably quiet, making the drive along the coast super easy.

Big Sur was a lovely place to visit.

Big Sur was a lovely place to visit. I hike a lot in Mt Tam area because of the views. But the Ewoldsen trail at Julia Pfeiffer Burns state park was a real gem. If you have to hike one trail in Big Sur, I would do this one. Nice meandering trail with a great view on top. Pretty remote with no cell service so be prepared to just enjoy the moment and the scenary.

Beautiful sceneries driving down highway 1 to get to the lodge. Once there, loved the location (surrounded by large trees and forest) and the room's layout. Its a shame there was no internet connection, and no television in the room. So nothing much to do after dinner.

Big Sur is absolutely stunning.

Big Sur is absolutely stunning. You must have a car to get around, and wifi is very limited. We stopped at a restaurant along the road that had no wifi either. I would absolutely return. It's a great place to unplug and connect with nature.

What isn’t there to like about Big Sur?

What isn’t there to like about Big Sur? Beautiful forests and oceans, lots of hiking opportunities, and just all-around peaceful, at least it was in November. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all for a while and chill out.

Big Sur was my first visit. Loved the area and the hikes.

Big Sur was my first visit. Loved the area and the hikes. Opted for a lodge rather than an Airbnb to make sure to change our rooms or at least provide clean towels every day. No towel racks in the room so difficult to dry towels and reuse. We are four in our stay and this was a deal breaker. Will not stay at this inn next time.

The room was gorgeous, as I remembered from previous stays and that is all I can say about our use of the facilities because it rained both days and so the park and hotel staff closed all the trails and the beaches as well. The restaurant was empty as were the cabins and rooms. It was dead.

Amazing location in the heart of Big Sur valley. Hikes from the doorstep. Good restaurant food. Bonus to find that the room with 2 double beds actually has a separate bedroom for one of the beds.

Very basic facilities but it's cosy and there's a kettle in the room. It's expensive for what it is, but you pay to be in the heart of Big Sur.
