The rooms could use upkeep. The blinds didn’t fully close due to an electric AC which needed a hose to come out of the window. Realistically, there was no privacy due to it.

The shower was nice and I enjoyed the board games they left in the room to get people to engage with each other without technology. It was a nice quiet area with really convenient access to great hiking trails and a short drive to Pfeiffer beach. The staff was really great. I would definitely come back again.

We stayed with our dog and while Big Sur isn't the most dog friendly place, the lodge had some nice trails/walking areas that we could walk amongst the trees and the creek. Outdoor dining was lovely and the staff was very helpful.

Stayed here 5 nights. Great stay! Rooms are clean and have that cabin in the woods feel. Short walk to lodge for dining (great restaurant) and shopping. Then in the park lots of things to do. Hike, bike rides (bring your own) , swim in pool, float in the river. Drive down hwy1 for more hiking and eating.

Beautiful environment! Accommodations were very nice - two queens, one in a separate bedroom, one in open area with couch, chairs, table. Nice little deck for sitting outside. Definitely would recommend. You also get entrance to three state parks in the area.

The lodge is in the state park. Area is beautiful and peaceful. The cabins are ok considering they are inside a park. Our cabin had a fireplace (which we didn’t use) and the smell of smoke gave me a major migraine over night. Customer service lacks; we went for breakfast at 9:30 am and by the time we came back to the room, the cleaning person already cleaned our room and told us we are *not allowed* to go back in. Of course we went in as we did not check out of the room yet and we had our room keys, just to figure out the cleaning guy had thrown out our water bottles. Unacceptable!
