    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.

    This place is a total scam.

    This place is a total scam. When you book through other websites, they do not notify you that the road is closed at half an hour from the hotel. My wife and I took a total of six paid days off of work, drove 300 miles, and then we were turned away 30 minutes from the hotel. When calling the lady wanted us to take a 150 mile detour to get to the hotel. We ended up, scrambling and trying to figure out what to do, spending a lot of money on a last-minute hotel and ruined our entire vacation. They seem perfectly happy taking peoples money, knowing perfectly well they can’t get there. The least they could do is make a courtesy phone call if somebody is booking outside of their website or some kind of notification. Screw this business and the lack of compassion and empathy when asking for a refund was inhumane. You not only took my money but you ruined an entire vacation. Screw all of you guys.

    The Valley is stunning and our favourite place in the US.

    The Valley is stunning and our favourite place in the US. The drive there is magical and the scenery and walks are amazing. Avoid the overpriced tourist traps and spend some time getting into the wild.

    There are several rooms across the highway 1 from the main facility. We were given one of there rooms. It was not was not disclosed to us ahead of time that we would have to walk across a busy highway. I am handicaped. Make sure you are not booked for one of these rooms since there is no crosswalk, sign to watch out for pedestrians or flashing light. Very dangerous! The facility was full so we could not be moved so we had to drive another 4 hours to find a place to stay for the night. The website for Big Sur River Lodge doesn't show these rooms on their main page. It looks like all rooms are near the restaurant, pool, store and river relaxation area. It is very decieving.

    The Big Sur coastline is the most beautiful part of the California coastline! The windy drive is a little nerve racking, but the rugged beauty and the amazing turquoise blue color of the ocean are a feast for the eyes. The people in Big Sur are also very nice. Everyone needs to see Big Sur at least once in their lifetime. McWay Falls is breathtaking! Must have lunch or dinner at Nepenthe! The food is great and the location is magical.

    The place is located at state park with options for trails.

    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.

    I loved the campground site. There is a beautiful river around the campgrounds which we were able to hear running while at our campsite. I love the dim lighting at night, we were provided free firewood for the first night and you can purchase another set for $10 which was cheaper than the nearby stores. The staff was exceptional and very kind. One of them provided us with an entire itinerary that was amazing. Only issue was the futon bed was not that comfortable but it was tolerable

    It’s like camping but not actually camping! The state park is beautiful and the cottages are very comfortable. We had a room with a fireplace and it was so nice to sit and enjoy a fire at the end of the day. The pool wasn’t open yet but it looked like a really nice place to enjoy cooling off. The bed was very comfortable. The staff was very helpful! we had an issue with our heater and they were very accommodating.

    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

    The premises are amazing, the true star of the stay. Amidst a beautiful forest with giant trees. The walks around the camping grounds and to the restaurant are beautiful. Just take the car out of the driveway and your nearby all the main sights of Big Sur, Pfeiffer beach, Big Sur Bakery, hiking spots etc.

    Quiet and clean, surrounded by beautiful trees with easy access to hiking trails and the beach. The pool area is well maintained, providing a very relaxing way to unwind after a long drive to Big Sur. The staff was very friendly.

    Big Sur Lodge was great, the pool was perfect on a hot day, the room was big and the log fire, even though we didn't need it, was really nice. The location is great for exploring.
