We stayed two nights in the small duplex cabins after looking at the rooms in the motor lodge. The rooms are nice, bigger, & nearer to the highway & office but the cabins were just up the road and near the river in a wooded area. It was a perfect combination of being in the forest & having excellent accomodations... More

We had the pleasure of spending two nights at the Glen Oaks just before Christmas, and it was one of the best hotel stays I have ever had. We ended up getting to Big Sur a night early, with no booking, and the staff at the Glen Oaks could not have been friendlier or more accommodating. They didn't have any... More

On our journey up Pacific Coast Highway we wanted to spend a couple of nights at Big Sur and intentionally didn't book in advance so that we could sus out some of the options when we arrived. Well I have to say that the first place we looked at in the resort next to Glenn Oaks filled us with a... More

We stayed in Forrest View, one of Glen Oak's delightful duplex cabins. Stylishly decorated (it really is madmen in the woods!) and thoughtfully appointed with cool glassware, dishes and such...it's those subtle touches that really elevate the cabin experience. So often your choice is only some basic/bland accommodation or over the top fancy, but Glen Woods hit the perfect balance... More

We stayed in the "last cabin" - the Big Sur Cabin. Nice location, as there is nobody else nearby or driving by. Two fire pits, the one off of the bedroom is awesome. We downloaded a tv episode and enjoyed that on our ipad while sitting by the fire one of our nights. Also nice to just sit and enjoy... More

Lovely cabins in a beautiful location. We only stayed one night but made the most of the fire pit and local area. The bathrooms have heated floors and there were enough utensils for what we needed. Only minor negative is there are limited amenities such as restaurants and stores in nearby so it's worth getting food and drink before you... More

We stayed in the Forest View Redwood Cabin for three nights over New Year's 2012. The cabins are tucked away in a redwood grove on the western side of Hwy 1 (the office and I think the motor lodge rooms are located on the eastern side). The location was incredibly scenic, beautiful and tranquil. It also smelled so wonderful and... More

We loved our one night stay at Glen Oaks a couple of days after Christmas. We were in a Queen-sized room at the "Adobe Motor Lodge." Room was thoughtfully furnished, clean, and private. Lots of nice touches at this hotel, including the free coffee at reception, the gas fireplace in the room, and the heated floor in the bathroom. The... More

We stayed in Glen Oaks for 2 nights in May. Loved the small cabin, which felt like it was on its own in the middle of nowhere. The bed was comfortable, and the room was spotless. Because it's in the forest away from the road there's absolutely no noise so had a perfect nights sleep. Nice bathroom with underfloor heating... More
