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.

Loved having a cabin experience actually inside a state park. Beautiful trails though redwoods. Old but clean and functional. Nice balcony with forest behind. Furnace was a bit noisy for sleeping. No TV or internet but I was made aware many times this would be the case.
Older but rustic cool
Balcony backed to forest
