We appreciated their accommodation of our late arrival, providing us with a key easily accessible despite the rainstorm. Exploring this new location was a delightful experience, as it felt like being in a welcoming community. The rooms and the rustic ambiance of the place, coupled with the sound of the river echoing through the darkness of the night, created a unique atmosphere. Sitting outside on our two lounge chairs by our room, listening to the river and the rain while the wind intermittently made the tree branches sway, was truly enjoyable. This secluded spot is perfect for peaceful getaways and special occasions, offering a cozy and intimate setting.

This is a beautiful little hotel in a fabulous location. Our room was big and had everything we needed. We would love to have stayed longer but we were only travelling through this area. The staff are really lovely. I didn’t use the pool as I had a cold but the others in my group did. The fire pits in the eve are a great place to relax and unwind.

I really liked that there is a separate exit to the patio, which has a hot water jacuzzi and a swimming pool. The Jacuzzi was hot even at 2 am which made us very happy. There were also many sun loungers on which you can lie down and sunbathe. The room was very clean and there were enough towels, a working coffee machine and a huge very comfortable bed and a lot of pillows. Cozy room, we really liked it.

I really loved this place. Comfy rooms, clean (the bath rooms need a bit of TLC but are still clean). Pool and pool area was great. Right in the valley and walking distance to wine tasting, restaurants and small food shops. Really calm and relaxing and stress free stay. Reception is only open until 5, but there is clear instructions what to do if you need someone (we didn't). Rooms aren't cleaned everyday unless you request it, which is made to clear to you (and suited us). It was a lovely place to come back to

We had a lovely stay. We had a small problem during check-in, but Angela from Kacey’s next door was incredibly helpful. After that it was all smooth! Exceptionally clean, spacious, quality furnishings and towels. Windows on both sides so it’s easy to get a breeze going and air out the room. I would definitely recommend!

    Don't miss Big Sur! A truly beautiful spot.

    Don't miss Big Sur! A truly beautiful spot. A highlight for us was the hike around Lobos Point where the wildlife is abundant and the scenery breathtaking. Eating out was pricey but we stayed at Big Sur campground and cabins where we able to cater for ourselves. During April the roads were reasonably quiet, making the drive along the coast super easy.

    Big Sur was a lovely place to visit.

    Big Sur was a lovely place to visit. I hike a lot in Mt Tam area because of the views. But the Ewoldsen trail at Julia Pfeiffer Burns state park was a real gem. If you have to hike one trail in Big Sur, I would do this one. Nice meandering trail with a great view on top. Pretty remote with no cell service so be prepared to just enjoy the moment and the scenary.

    Beautiful sceneries driving down highway 1 to get to the lodge. Once there, loved the location (surrounded by large trees and forest) and the room's layout. Its a shame there was no internet connection, and no television in the room. So nothing much to do after dinner.

    Big Sur is absolutely stunning.

    Big Sur is absolutely stunning. You must have a car to get around, and wifi is very limited. We stopped at a restaurant along the road that had no wifi either. I would absolutely return. It's a great place to unplug and connect with nature.

    What isn’t there to like about Big Sur?

    What isn’t there to like about Big Sur? Beautiful forests and oceans, lots of hiking opportunities, and just all-around peaceful, at least it was in November. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from it all for a while and chill out.

    Big Sur was my first visit. Loved the area and the hikes. Opted for a lodge rather than an Airbnb to make sure to change our rooms or at least provide clean towels every day. No towel racks in the room so difficult to dry towels and reuse. We are four in our stay and this was a deal breaker. Will not stay at this inn next time.

    The idyllic location and the thoughtfully planned amenities will make any stay memorable. Highly recommend this slightly different stay experience. If you don't want to stay in motel, hotel, or inn, Big Sur Cabins and Campground is an excellent choice.

    This is a great camping site. The cabin was spacious and warm with its own fire pitch on the outside and inflatable rings to go down the river. WiFi is good outside the office. It is in a great location to visit the main highlights in Big Sur.
