The heater is the room was broken and wouldn’t turn off. It was set at 86 for our entire stay. I reported it to the front desk and each time I brought it up the person working there would make a joke about it or ask me if I would rather have no heat. They also kept having me repeat the room number, so many times that it seemed absurd, like some inside joke I wasn’t aware of. If they had said the heater is broken and we can’t fix it I would have understood, but instead it was always a weird interaction of making jokes and feigning surprise that heater wouldn’t turn off. They were very dismissive and never fixed the heater. The staff were poorly trained to work with customers. Basic hospitality skills were missing.

Everybody was very nice and helpful. Location in the park with access to two other parks was unbeatable if you want to get away and detach from it this is your place. No TV and spotty coverage and no microwave in room. So low on amenities but high on quiet peaceful.

We stayed one night in a Queen two room cottage. This is my kind of place! Nestled among redwood trees, campground vibe. Super dark for star gazing, awesome Big Sur location. Nice big kitchen for prepping your hiking meals. Comfy bed. Very clean. WiFi only available in common areas lodge and pool. We had an issue with our heater, but a portable one was available and we were quite comfortable.

Bed was comfortable and the room adequate. Free fire wood was left each day for the fire place The trails were in excellent condition and plainly marked. The issues were dirty carpets, it had spider webs and cobwebs, there were dead bugs and dirt in the corners of the floors, the bathroom and vanity area needed a remodel, and if you are over six feet the shower will be a challenge, Restaurant was only open from 8:00 am until 5:00 pm and you had to go to the counter to order your food which is advertised differently on their website. Parking near the lodge is limited. Check-in is at 4:00 pm but not before. People started cuing up near 4:00 pm. There was only one person at the registration desk which delays your time to check in. All the Information for the park and lodge is in the hand out material but they need to remind the guest there is no smoking in the park due the fact there were guest smoking. We guess they believe guest would read the material. There are a great number of dogs in the lodge.
