stayed right after the "typhoon" that was previously mentioned and it was really hot so be aware if you stay during the summer months. we stayed in the "cottage" and was not super impressed with the outside. the deck that i was looking forward to had two very dirty chairs and no table, we had to bring a side table... more

We stayed here for 2 nights on an 11 day trip around California. Firstly we arrived during the tail end of a typhoon so on the drive down Highway 1 you could not see 10 meters in front of you and the rain was blowing in sideways from the ocean so not a very pleasant drive to begin with. We... more

When we drove into Glen Oaks, we were a little worried - it looked at first glances like a wooden hut on the side of the freeway. We were soon directed to the actual location of our accomodation - a magical wooden hut in the middle of the forest with a river gushing along in the background. it was a... more

We stayed in Big Sur for 3 nights with another couple who stayed at the Ripplewood cabins across the street. Both places are nestled in wooded areas within walking distance to some eating establishments and small grocery stores. Glen Oaks has a modern look to the interior. Our room had a gas fireplace insert between the bedroom and a private... more

My husband and I drove down the coast from San Francisco. We had just left a 5 star hotel and we loved it, but nothing could prepare us for Glen Oaks. We checked in after watching the sunset.

This place has got to be the best value for the money in Big Sur. The rooms were clean the staff was friendly and the bathrooms were amazing (They even had heated floors). I loved this place and will be staying there for our next trip to Big Sur! more

Staying here offers numerous advantages - 1. Location - you're in the best spot in Big Sur with easy access to beaches, restaurants, shops, and hiking. It's right next door to the Ripplewood so a great breakfast is right next door! 2. Rooms - they have been renovated VERY well since the place is originally just a road side motel... more

This place is amazing. They truly used the natural beauty they were given in Big Sur and just made it even better with their luxurious cabins. We stayed in a duplex cabin and I really do wish I was still there. This was absolutely the highlight of my entire trip (which included San Fran, Santa Cruz, and other areas). There... more
