Magic

This pace is quaint and amazing nestled into the magic Big Sur has to offer. It’s not the Ritz Carlton or fancy by any means. It’s rustic, cabin style, as advertised. Wait staff incredibly friendly. One younger staff guy in gift shop was really quiet and we had an awkward moment where he couldn’t count the change accurately and darkly said he would get in trouble if he was a penny off (implying negativity - but I experience nothing of the sort) but there was a woman who provided over the top customer service. Anyway- you won’t have cell service here. But so what -get off your phone and enjoy.

Rustic, beautiful, and convenient

We enjoyed our stay. Absolutely lovely setting, right in a state park with redwoods, trails, and a waterfall. Loved the lodge, with its rustic decor, and we enjoyed the gift shop, cafe, and restaurant. It's so convenient to have all of that right there. The rooms are pretty basic, but they have everything you need - though I would have liked a small table on the balcony to put a drink on. One issue - our room smelled very strongly of wood smoke when we arrived - I mean, sting your eyes heavy. I tried to air it out, but it continued to be very strong. I actually had a bit of a hard time sleeping because of it. Needless to say, we did not use the fireplace and create even more smoke! Other than that, it was all very nice.

They need to get rid of the connected units with a thin interior door. You can hear every whisper in the other unit and unforuate for us a crying baby ruined our time. The property needs to be very clear the DO NOT have wifi. Lots of options for them to add in this day and age. To their credit they were able to move our room. The women at the desk said she would follow up about a credit due to a downgrade but that was a lie.

My children and I loved our stay at Big Sur lodge. We had fun hiking around the property. The free fire wood every night was a nice touch. We just wish the pool was open and the rec room was cleaner with more kid options.
