Beautiful environment! Accommodations were very nice - two queens, one in a separate bedroom, one in open area with couch, chairs, table. Nice little deck for sitting outside. Definitely would recommend. You also get entrance to three state parks in the area.

Being so close to hiking was incredible. We were able to hike to the Pfeiffer Falls with our 2 kids (6 and 10 years old) without having to drive anywhere. The absolute picturesque place you would want to stay in Big Sur.

The location is unbeatable, you are right in the middle of the forest, completely immersed in Big Sur. The cabins are comfortable and clean. Construction is outdated but this is not unexpected in a place like this. Staff is responsive and friendly.
