Being so close to hiking was incredible. We were able to hike to the Pfeiffer Falls with our 2 kids (6 and 10 years old) without having to drive anywhere. The absolute picturesque place you would want to stay in Big Sur.

We had an amazing stay at the Lodge. We loved the easy proximity to the parks and Highway 1 to see the sights of Big Sur. Comfortable beds and a cozy fireplace made for a special unplugged retreat!

The location is unbeatable, you are right in the middle of the forest, completely immersed in Big Sur. The cabins are comfortable and clean. Construction is outdated but this is not unexpected in a place like this. Staff is responsive and friendly.

I loved that they provided easy to use (compostable tea-style bags), local coffee during my stay. It was so good - and the company so humble - that I bought more for myself as soon as I got home! I only wished I could have bought one of the same mugs in my cabin. We loved having a fire in our cabin as well at the fireplace. However - be aware that your cabin will smell like a bonfire and your clothes will too!
