Courteous staff and easy check in. Roomy cabin (14), but there was a distinct smell of burnt wood (from the fireplace). Location is ideal if you want to visit the nearby parks or trails.

Disappointing, Lodge not ready, no Internet or TV available. Staff tended to be young and inexperienced. Redeaming feature was the Big Sur state park where Lodge is situated was amazingly beautiful.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was pretty clean and they brought us firewood for our fireplace every night we were there:) really liked that it was quiet and private. It wasn’t too fancy but it was really comfortable and enjoyable and they provided the essentials I must have my coffee in the morning and it was provided as well as a fridge for our travel snacks. Best part is the park access! Half of us camped out at the Pfeifer campground and half stayed at the lodge and it was really nice to be able to do that.
