Great, quiet away from home and subtle retreat. The area is pricey for food, and the lodge hours vary for bfast, lunch and dinner, but they provide coffee in the room. Overall a great experience for Big Sur.

Cabine spacios but a little dark. We did not use the kitchen. Fireplace heating was not working and therefore the night was freezing cold. Location is great with great hiking trauls.

It was 4:00 check in time on a Friday. It took us more than 30 minutes to wait to get our room. Jordan was alone at the desk as the only one checking in the guests. Rooms were not ready at check-in time. He was very busy but kind. There is a lot of information that has to be given to guests (how to get to your lodge, how to access the community areas, how to deal with the park pass, and more). Check in is a long process. The management should have someone else on the desk.

Friendly staff. Great room. Loved the patio. May I recommend putting info in room like a map to let people know where ice machines etc. are located. You can’t call the office since there is no cell service.
