Best accommodation in the Big Sur area. Cottage was clean, the restaurant food and the service by Erin was excellent. Conveniently located near the trailheads of Buzzards Roost and Valley View/Pfieffer Falls Trails. Strongly recommend this accommodation option in the Big Sur area.

I wasn't very happy with the condition for the price I paid, but my partner who lived in CA said this place is very resonable. It is nice and cozy. Staffs were very friendly. I wished I booked the place with kitchen. There was not many option for dining, and it was very expensive. I will prepare better next time.

Very quiet at night. Great place if you’re looking to get off the grid for a while. I was traveling with another couple with one vehicle and asked for cottages next to each other, which they did confirm the day before. Bit when checking in we weren’t together and they couldn’t do anything to fix it. And didn’t seem to care either

This hotel is centrally located if you want to explore Big Sur. You get free access to 3 state parks in the area if you stay here, which is nice. It's about 1 hour each way from Carmel, tho. I had a room with a fireplace and they delivered wood daily. The room was thoughtfully arranged and accessorized with games, electric outlets, mini-fridge, extra towels & blankets, etc. Friendly, clean, close to well maintained trails. It was wonderful to be able to disconnect from city life for a few days. Loved it. Will be returning.
