The bathroom needs another towel rack. There is a problem with the fireplace-you have to open a window to draft the air in the room or smoke comes out into the room. I was glad for washcloths and a bar of soap. Also the extra blanket was good.

Heaven on earth. Everything was incredible from the gorgeous room, grounds and view to the delicious food at the restaurant and in the room. Star gazing was so fun and the falconry another experience of a lifetime. Thank you to the staff to making our stay so comfortable. It was such a treat.

The room/bathroom is clean and we were provided with sufficient toiletries, new towels, k-pods, bottled water, etc. Our only problem is the lump at the center of the King size bed.

The place is beautiful. Even with the bumps in the road I am happy that I went.
Your cellphone coverage fluctuates : plan ahead !
I have anyways wanted to visit Big Sur and it did not disappoint. Truly magical!
Thought Big Sur was a great place over all but was diluted through my bad experience at Big Sur Lodge
Great place if your looking to go off the grid. If your a person that values your wifi, might not be for you?
