We arrived in Big Sur with no reservations - big mistake, even for the last weekend in September. The Fernwood was the only place on the whole coast with any rooms available (and we checked, having read the Rough Guides on the way there). The room was clean, comfortable and basic. The bar and restaurant next door, ditto - although... more

Stayed at Fernwood during New Years holiday 2010. The rooms are old dingy and smelly. One of the people in our party stayed in the "Vilas". No where but here would this room be referred to as a Villa. It was a row condo near the hotel. It had an old couch that opened up and most of the springs... more

The resort...lol... its a motel with a campground and some cabins. It has the food and a bar too but that still does not make it a resort. The sign gave hope to a decent price rate for a room, well for $125.00 per night, you would think that the place would have a nicer exterior. We then hoped for... more

I just did not feel very welcome by the reception staff here both when I checked in and when I left. The rooms are o.k. but there are no TVs which is o.k. in Big Sur. It is in about the middle of Big Sur so if you decide to stay here stay early enough so you do not end... more

We planned a family trip to Big Sur and spent a lot of time trying to pick the perfect camp ground. After reading a lot of reviews and looking at different pictures we decided to try Fernwood. We rented 3 campsites for 13 people and it was so Awesome!! Our campsites were right on the river and very spacious. The... more

I will preface this review by saying that we are Camper's. We are the kind of campers that spend 4, 5 or even 6 days in the middle of nowhere with just our tent and camping gear. We can rough it and LIKE IT! So with that said: We came up to Big Sur for Thanksgiving and had a great... more

I'm new to Monterey and just spent the weekend with my girlfriend at one of the tent cabins here (Her idea, and a good one). We had a nice and relaxing time. Quarters are tight, so make sure to get on good terms with your neighbors, though. The redwoods provide plenty of shade. The cabin we stayed in was clean... more

we needed a one night stop in Big Sur while we were driving up the coast. we chose the Fernwood mainly because of price (about $100/night). we stayed in the motel. the room was a standard motel room. it was clean and provided exactly what we needed. we also ate dinner at the restaurant on-site. the food was good and... more

My boyfriend and I went to Big sur for a weekend vacation. We stayed at fernwood for the price. Before I had booked the room, I read some reviews on the customer service and read that there were several complaints. But I decided to book it nonetheless. In a way, I was dissapointed because the customer service sucks. The girls... more
