Terrible hotel in a beautiful location

Filthy dirty rooms, carpets, and furniture. Windows falling out of their frames. Rooms wreaked of fireplace smoke. Frame around shower was rotting away. No sign any maintenance has been done since the place was first built. Was so bad we left and drove to another hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Big Sur Lodge. Our cabin-style room offered a wonderfully cozy and peaceful retreat, making for a truly relaxing experience. The natural beauty of the area was breathtaking, with incredible hiking opportunities right at our doorstep, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the majestic redwoods. Dining at the Homestead restaurant was a delight; the food was very good, and their happy hour was a particular highlight. It was a perfectly tranquil and enjoyable stay from start to finish.

First of all check in was pretty late, 4pm instead of 3 like most places. We booked 2 suites and honestly, it’s a waist of $$. I should’ve go for the regular 2 queens, the view was way better with a big glass slide door. Ours has a door with 2 standard windows and old blinds that doesn’t work properly in both rooms. The blanket in my kids room had dirty dry stain on it, I don’t think they even wash it, that’s why the dry stuff was still there. My room had reddish brown spots splattered on the wall by the toilet and also on the picture frame in the wash room. WiFi was terrible and almost non existent in most rooms so if you want to disconnect from the rest of the world, this place is for you. As for me, all I need is to be able to communicate with my kids without having to walk over to their room and knock. But of course there was no other way. The perks, we have entries to multiple parks.

We would have preferred some type of pop up to acknowledge we understood there is no AC. We had just returned from a hike to our room for the first time. The room was hot and muggy. We opened the windows and used the fan provided. It was a comfortable stay and we would stay again.

One of the best Airbnb stay we had as a family. The property lies in such a nice location with beautiful walking trails around where we even spotted a bear in front of our room. The ambience is so pristine and rooms so spacious and clean. I would love to go there again and spend at least a week with my family.

The location is located within Pfeiffer State Park and has wonderful nature to explore. The cabin includes balcony to drink your coffee or view the stars. The only things keeping this from a 5 start review was the fact that the heater was not set up and there was no hand soap.

Rooms need to be renovated badly. No Microwave, no tv, shower is funky and water leaks all over the bathroom. The heater makes all kinds of loud sounds all night. If this exact cabin was in any other locations on the planted it would be labeled "condemnable* . Instead it's 240$ for a night or no comforts. Avoid its
