Pros +
- A charming cabin with a long history. parking in front of each cabin. Very clean. Great restaurant with friendly staff.
- friendly staff, convenient restaurant across the street.
- Scenery was beautiful.
Cons -
- blower/ maintenance early in the morning.
- Pictures are mis-leading. Property is literally RIGHT on the hwy. Not the quietest place, due to traffic, and more run-down than pictures let on. Shops next door are all closed, and signage everywhere reminding loiterers to get out. Ruins the charm.
- Please note that some rooms are very close to the road and the truck and cars were very loud ! Some rooms are set back... so ask when you book ! Earplugs didn't help much...

It has a brook running behind the rooms, so it was restful to sit and watch the water go by and the kids playing in it ..It's near some state parks. Enjoy !

My expectation was not very high since this is just a cabin right off of hwy 1. but the room was actually very nice, warm and clean. It also has a little patio outside. My boyfriend and I had a beer there after dinner. We had a good time!
Staff, accommodations and restaurant were all outstanding contrary to the reviews I had read.
Small fridge in the room would be nice.
The bed was very good
Forced to pay before I arrived. Room was very small, no tv, radio, or telephone.I felt mislead by the advertising. Instead of a room by the river in Big Sur, i got a cabin on the freeway. This was a very disappointing experience and I will not return.
it is very good location, stuff and evironment.
No TV
Most comfortable hotel beds and bedding I've ever experienced.
The river view of the Suite we booked is awesome. It is quite even close to the route 1. Definitely will recommend it to my friends.
Na
Nothing to like about this hotel! Wood work/chain saw work started around 7 am . horrible room!
Service was horrible! I should get my $$$ back.
Way overpriced.
