Located in the heart of big sur. The cabins are clean and confortable. Was worried that would be noisy given that the lodge is by the road but was super quiet. They have a cafe and market super well stocked on site. So wonderful really. :)

Joana United States of America

Room was super clean, staff was friendly and the general store had everything you could imagine (at reasonable prices). Big Sur is a magical place and Fernwood Resort is a good place to stay at. You are close to everything.

Batool Pakistan

The place is beautiful, cozy and clean rooms with a nice view to the woods. No TV or wifi in the room, which was a good thing for us. Nice food in the restaurant.

Cristina United States of America

Amazing restaurant and general store. great location

Daniel United States of America

the room is clean and has enough space for us. We cannot expect more in Big Sur. There is a general store and restaurant.

Tam United States of America

Love the location and the restaurant. Took a hike. Overall it was a great experience.

Don United States of America

Room F was available when we got there quite early so we were able to check-in and get settled before it really started raining! We had a delicious drink at the bar and chatted with the staff a bit. Had a nice walk thru the surrounding area and had dinner there that night. We only stayed 1 night but will definitely be back for a longer stay in the summer

Judy United States of America

Huma United States of America
