The rooms at the Big Sur lodge are spacious and homey. They all have fire places which is a cozy addition. The surrounding area is beautiful and it is nice that there are several hikes directly from the property. The addition of the other parks passes makes it easy to explore the area.

It's a rustic cabin that's pretty quiet. There's no Wi-Fi or tv so if you want to unplug for a while it suits that purpose. The lodge was nice and good hikes around the area
