The surrounding area was a little misleading about how few trails I could take my on. The room was well appointed. Comfy bed. soft towels. Tea bags and hot water kettle was great to have.

Pros: It’s in the Pfeiffer Big Sur state park, so it’s quiet and basically you are in the redwoods forest. People who work in the lodge are very kind and friendly. Also It’s a dog friendly lodge. Cons: the facility is very old. Needs a good upgrade. Because we had a dog, I assume that our room was dog friendly room, and it smelled like pee, that was unpleasant. There is only one trail that dogs are allowed around the lodge which is only about half miles.

Parking was easy, right outside the cabin. Restaurant had good food, but plan on spending longer than usual for the eating experience because of having only 1 server. The servers were pleasant, professional, friendly, but just not enough of them during busy times.

Facility is dated; however, the rooms were clean and provided for our overall needs. Much of the time was spent outdoors on local trails and exploring. Big Sur Lodge has an attached restaurant that serves delicious food albeit a small menu. There’s a small convenience store attached that also has basic amenities that may be needed during your stay. There is a lot to enjoy in the nature that surrounds this property. Good value for the experience.
