A very nice place surrounded by large trees. Very quiet. The little store is nice, and the access to good meals at the restaurant of the place was a nice option to have. The only point that our kids didn't like was the lack of internet connection in the room, but we didn't mind. Very nice place!

I really like the Big Sur area. My first time staying here. So cool to sleep in the Redwoods. Hotel needs to buy some pads for the beds. Like a lucid or something. Very uncomfortable bed.

Big Sur Rustic Sheik? The front of the log was updated and the entrance was attractive. The rest of the property, the cabins and cafeteria reminded me of 6 grade science camp at Palimar Mountain, San Diego. Which I attended 50 years ago. The coffee place had the same pastries, plural only because there were more than one of the one type available. After all were sold, after multiple days, nothing else arrived. I get it, its a cabin in Big Sur, but put in some laminent floors, brighten up the rooms. Don't make me homesick on my adult vacation.

We Will Be Back !

We absolutely loved this property and will be back! Staff is so friendly. The restaurant on site was great, and the gift shop had the cutest gifts and so many other items we needed for our stay. The property does feel a bit dated and so did not feel the cleanest, but we loved it regardless! Absolutely gorgeous property!

Lovely Location

The cabin was lovely, and the location excellent, but as other reviewers say the food is mediocre, and much better to eat down the road at Fernwood. They may be even a better place to stay overall for the price.
