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!

Big Sur Rustic Sheik? The front of the log was updated and the entrance was attractive. The rest of the property, the cabins and cafeteria reminded me of 6 grade science camp at Palimar Mountain, San Diego. Which I attended 50 years ago. The coffee place had the same pastries, plural only because there were more than one of the one type available. After all were sold, after multiple days, nothing else arrived. I get it, its a cabin in Big Sur, but put in some laminent floors, brighten up the rooms. Don't make me homesick on my adult vacation.
