Big Sur Lodge

"Great location within Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park and begin of two great hiking trails (less than 5 miles loop or return). More state parks are close by. The cabin provided fast and sufficient heating. We bought a bagel toaster and used the refrigerator for milk and cheese. So, we could prepare our own breakfast. Once we tried out the restaurant. The burger was cold and we left. Unfortunately, the three large cabins 10, 11, and 12 are not standing separately but share walls. Thus, neighbor noise in the early morning disturbed our sleep. The views are marvelous since you see many trees, especially Redwoods which I like very much. I think I would like to come back. Please stay on the trail and obey rules and regulations. Make it possible to return and see the natural beauty again - untouched."

"2 stars for location. That’s it. Front desk attendants were unhelpful and rude. We showed up at 1 pm to check if, by any chance, our room was ready. It wasn’t (no problem), so we hiked through nearby parks and came back at 4 pm. Room still wasn’t ready. Waited until 4:30 pm and room still wasn’t ready. Went up the hill to see the rooms and were disappointed. Throughout this experience the front desk staff were challenging. We felt so uncomfortable and disappointed we forfeited our room. That’s right, we couldn’t get any money back due to their cancellation policy but decided to keep driving and find a different place for the night. You win some and you lose some… this one was worth losing."

"I saw some mixed reviews of Big Sur Lodge but decided to book it anyway and I was very pleasantly surprised. The location can't be beat. There are multiple hiking trails from the property and several others close by. Our Queen room with refrigerator and fireplace was spacious, clean, and had enough kitchen utensils to cook at the cottage (#2). The walls are paper thin but that didn't deter from our visit. Moreover, the daily delivery of fire wood was much appreciated. We did have one meal at the restaurant which we enjoyed. Finally, we were able to get some wifi and receive text messages. I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Big Sur."

"We got married at the Big Sur Lodge on 10/6. It was a magical location to get married under the redwood trees along the Big Sur River. Paul Amend of Big Sur Lodge made sure our day went smooth. He checked on us regularly during our weekend stay. The food was amazing for our wedding dinner. Our family raved about this as well. I would highly recommend the Big Sur Lodge for a wedding or event."

"Stayed in a cabin next to a giant 100 foot Redwood tree. Hike to the waterfall is great about 2 miles round trip. Almost no Internet / cell service except late at night / early morning. It's off season so not crowded at all. There's a restaurant and down the hwy 1 about a mile a couple of diners. Great place for family and/or to decompress. Walk around surrounded by trees as much as 250 feet and some as old as 2500 years - amazing place."
