Facility is dated; however, the rooms were clean and provided for our overall needs. Much of the time was spent outdoors on local trails and exploring. Big Sur Lodge has an attached restaurant that serves delicious food albeit a small menu. There’s a small convenience store attached that also has basic amenities that may be needed during your stay. There is a lot to enjoy in the nature that surrounds this property. Good value for the experience.

Loved the location inside the park! Absolutely beautiful!! The cabin with kitchen was nice and clean and well stocked. Restaurant ran out of most items on the menu the night we ate there unfortunately, and they weren’t busy. The food was good, however. Otherwise, it was a wonderful stay, and we highly recommend! Hope to come back.

An unexpectedly lovely, spartan series of cabins within a redwood forest. Very peaceful and the aroma from the trees truly memorable
