We stayed one night in a Queen two room cottage. This is my kind of place! Nestled among redwood trees, campground vibe. Super dark for star gazing, awesome Big Sur location. Nice big kitchen for prepping your hiking meals. Comfy bed. Very clean. WiFi only available in common areas lodge and pool. We had an issue with our heater, but a portable one was available and we were quite comfortable.

Bed was comfortable and the room adequate. Free fire wood was left each day for the fire place The trails were in excellent condition and plainly marked. The issues were dirty carpets, it had spider webs and cobwebs, there were dead bugs and dirt in the corners of the floors, the bathroom and vanity area needed a remodel, and if you are over six feet the shower will be a challenge, Restaurant was only open from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm and you had to go to the counter to order your food which is advertised differently on their website. Parking near the lodge is limited. Check-in is at 4:00 pm but not before. People started cuing up near 4:00 pm. There was only one person at the registration desk which delays your time to check in. All the Information for the park and lodge is in the hand out material but they need to remind the guest there is no smoking in the park due the fact there were guest smoking. We guess they believe guest would read the material. There are a great number of dogs in the lodge.

The location is beautiful, but the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms is a bit annoying I have to admit. It was very expensive and not exactly a luxury hotel. But again it was a great location and we were just stopping by for a night.

Very rustic - trails to walk right outside - sky light to see stars while in bed. Staff was very helpful & kind. Parking was uncrowded and close to our room. Beautiful! Looking forward to going back

I really enjoyed that your reservation includes admission to 3 parks locally - that is part of the reason why I wanted to stay at the Big Sur Lodge. Looking forward to returning to the Lodge sooner than later!
