The place is in the middle of everything at Big Sur and has hiking trails attached so you don't even need to get in your car.

We really enjoyed our time staying at the lodge. The location was amazing with so many trails leading from there. The coffee shop was really convenient and the restaurant pretty good. Our cottage had plenty of room for the two of us and nice accommodations. The bed was really soft. Would highly recommend staying here.

Lovely lodge stay surrounded by redwoods. Cabins surround a swimming pool that would be great when open. Fireplaces and generous living quarters

We didn’t realize the room didn’t have a TV. We did enjoy the full kitchen and the electric fireplace in the wall. A real fireplace would have been better.?

Loved this place it’s going to be my yearly vacay stay. It’s cozy and everything is within the lodge there is no tv but I don’t think anyone needs it with all the beautiful surroundings. Not much WiFi and we could never get WiFi at night which was weird but also not a big deal.

We understand a lodge would be more basic than a modern hotel room, but with no sound proofing at all, so kids and dogs disturbed us most of the time. The very old heaters that bang so loud as the heat up or cool down than my wife jumped up in bed. Also we had the last cabin in the block with 1 bar WiFi and it just did not work. The Lobby and restaurant were lovely and had good internet. We had coffee and eat dinner there.

It’s a state park, not a 5-star hotel. It allowed us to stay near beauty and we are thankful.

We hit the jackpot finding this hotel in Big Sur. Nestled in a state park the Big Sur Lodge is the perfect place to hike and take in nature. From the lobby we were able to hike some amazing trails which were well marked. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. While there was no television and the WIFI was spotty, I was able to get a strong enough signal from the room. The location could not be more perfect.

I wasn't very happy with the condition for the price I paid, but my partner who lived in CA said this place is very resonable. It is nice and cozy. Staffs were very friendly. I wished I booked the place with kitchen. There was not many option for dining, and it was very expensive. I will prepare better next time.
