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.

A very nice place surrounded by large trees. Very quiet. The little store is nice, and the access to good meals at the restaurant of the place was a nice option to have. The only point that our kids didn't like was the lack of internet connection in the room, but we didn't mind. Very nice place!

I really like the Big Sur area. My first time staying here. So cool to sleep in the Redwoods. Hotel needs to buy some pads for the beds. Like a lucid or something. Very uncomfortable bed.
