The staffs were super helpful and quick to respond to inquiries before, during, and after my stay. All check in information were relayed efficiently prior to my arrival so my super late self-check-in experience was breezy. I also asked for assistance to complete my payment prior to my arrival and I was helped by at least 2 different people. Despite this, communication was super smooth and all staffs were both friendly and helpful. This greatly helped reduce my travel planning stress. After I left, I didn't realize that I left my sweater but the staff contacted me right away and offered to ship it to me (for a fee). This was definitely above and beyond, so thank you so so so much!

The idyllic location and the thoughtfully planned amenities will make any stay memorable. Highly recommend this slightly different stay experience. If you don't want to stay in motel, hotel, or inn, Big Sur Cabins and Campground is an excellent choice.

The room was brand new, modern we absolutely loved it! It looked exactly like the photos, if not better. The bed was incredibly comfortable and of high quality, as were the linens and towels. The hairdryer was excellent, and the large brand-new TV. The location was also very convenient and strategic for getting around. Highly recommended!

This place has it all when it comes to cleanliness, comfort, location, and friendly hosts. This location is located behind a gated home and has a country feel. We booked through the website, and arrived onsite the day of our reservation. We were greeted by Lydia who gave us a quick tour around the room. The room includes a small fridge, microwave, sink, and useful glass, cups and plates. It also have a k-cup coffee machine and a light assortment of snacks and coffee. The place is immaculately kept and felt brand new. It is open, spacious, and comfortable. The small throw blanket was useful on the cooler nights and robes are provided. We really enjoyed the patio furniture and ate dinner each night at the room (Each room has a private outdoor area). The weather was great and soo too were the sunset views. The home is about 10-15 minutes away from restaurants and shopping but I recommend you bring groceries with you for convenience. It's not that the drive is so long as you don't want to leave, it's that nice! :) The bed is by far the most comfortable I have ever experienced staying somewhere outside my home. The sheets, comforter, pillows, and down blanket gave a cloud type experience. The black out shades were awesome and enabled us to sleep in and maintain privacy. There are four units so it would be great for a couples get away or family vacation. Andrew and Lydia did check on us once during our stay but gave us the space to relax. They were also there for us several times when we had questions. Checkout was a breeze, no real requirements behind leaving the key and gate operator behind. We loved it so much we have already booked for next year.

This was one of the best places we have ever stayed! First of all the bedrooms were super spacious and comfortable. The pool and all facilities were spotless! The jacuzzi was an amazing touch. The host Arianna couldn’t do more for you. 10/10 could not recommend more!

The property manager was so easy to get ahold of, even late at night which was very helpful for answering any questions we had about the property. Also the management team was incredibly considerate and accommodating - we had initially booked the villa for another date but couldn’t make it due to a medical emergency and the management team rescheduled our stay free of cost.

I liked that it was close to the village. The room was ok. The bathroom was scary. It was old and rundown. There was no way i would ever shower in there. It looked dangerous. Seems like it would not be legal with all the piping everywhere. The window screens were broken. It was super rustic and i thought way over-priced. It was clean and host was responsive. Rustic is not for me. Lesson learned.

Beautiful little spot just a short 5 min walk (no sidewalks beware!) to village. Terrace is wonderful overlooking the lake. Just a few minutes walk to local brewery. Breakfast/snacks/drinks available. Good parking, good internet! We had the room ’la petite 9’ small fridge, coffee maker. Comfy bed, smallish bathroom but fine. Only downside, the fan was loud but did not much good.. very, very hot in room.. It’s a little gem, so recommended!!

We stayed in the yurt village and it was such a beautiful little get away. The yurt was extremely comfortable and had everything we could possibly need. There’s a river that my son enjoyed playing in and it’s only a 10 min drive to Yosemite.
