$300 the room. No TV, no radio, no Wifi, no HVAC, no hair dryer, not even a working electrical heater in the room (they replace the broken one by another not working well one). 50°F in the room at night and a smoking fireplace. Enough wood for only one hour of heat. After that you have to buy more wood. The only working heater in the room was gaz ...
My wife and I enjoyed two nights at Big Sur Lodge at Pfeiffer Beach State Park, though it was bitterly cold in the room at night. The firewood wood not light - I was a boy scout but absolutely could not light it - I think it had gotten wet and had frozen water in it. Both nights we survived until daybreak by God's grace. The area is beautiful ...
We spent a week at the lodge and loved the area. The room was a little old but clean. We thought the restaurant food was pretty good and the service was good. We had horrible service at the ice cream counter each time we tried to get ice cream. The manager did not respond to our concerns. We will probably stay at a different place on our next visit.

Sleepless in Big Sur
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/17/05
My wife and I had planned a quiet respite in the beautiful Big Sur wilderness. Instead of making reservations, we decided to just drive down and stay in the first place that caught our fancy.
The Big Sur Lodge in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park seemed to be just what we were looking for so we checked the front desk for availability. We were pleased ...

A wonderful moutain retreat!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/08/05
My mother and I came to Big Sur with reservations in a different hotel, and found it unsuitable, so we came to Big Sur Lodge. They had a room that ended up being a no-show, so we took it for the night. Although it was pricey, the room was beautiful and quite clean. Our room had a fireplace with a couch and table and chairs, along with a queen bed. ...

Very Disappointed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/30/05
The 1950's style "cabins" are poorly furnished. The kitchen units lacked sufficient cooking/dining utensils. The fireplace smoked and caused the smoke detector to go off in the middle of the night. We called the Lodge for assistance, but got no answer.
Both the food and service at the restaurant were substandard.
When we tried to express our concerns to the General Manager we were offered a free lunch and told the he was busy.

Won't Go Back Again
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/30/05
The cabins are old and the amenities are limited, if not nonexistent. Both the food and service at the Lodge's restaurant were substandard. Kitchen rooms lack the basic utensils needed for cooking/dining. The fire place smoked. The heater after being relit several times during the day finally went out for good during the night leaving us to ...

A favorite place to stay
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/17/05
The Lodge is located in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park so hiking trails are close by(don't miss the short hike to the Falls). Redwoods and Oak trees are located throughout the lodging area. There's also a nice pool and a laundry. The 61 rooms are built in groups of 4's so that there's a lot of open space. Although they tend to be ...

Front Desk Helpfulness Lacking
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/31/04
During our stay, we bought two overpriced bottles of wine. It was to be expected since they were purchased at the Lodge's General Store. That wasn't a problem. However, we later realized we were without a corkscrew and the General Store was closed. After making the night walk down to the lodge's main building, we were underwhelmed by ...
