We had a nice room with a fireplace and a private hot tub on the back deck. The room was very reasonably priced for this area and clean. It was small but nice. The back deck and hot tub was wonderful. If you go ask for a room with a private hot tub. Nice and well worth it. As some... More

The motel was like a semi rustic country cottage. It was cute but lacks some city comfort like an effective heating system. To be expected on the big sur More

We stayed here for one night in October. Big Sur seemed to be a very expensive place to visit so this seemed a decent price. We had a motel room for 4 and it was alright. Walls aren't very thick so I knew exactly when our neighbour got up and had a shower, and the rooms were pretty basic. Wooden... More

We stayed here one night for a music event. We wanted to be able to just walk back to our room after the show. We did not stay in one of the cabins, but in one of the motel rooms. The rooms was clean and rustic, with no tv or telephone. But who needs tv or phones when you're in... More

I think the Fernwood was pretty cool. No tv in rooms, no radio, just you and your book (my iPad). Rooms very clean, beds good and I really liked the lodge. I watched Monday Night Football there, eating raw veges and hummus and drinking good draft beer. Not the place for you if you are high maintenance, fussy, uptight, confuse... More

My husband and I were on an adventure riding our Harley down the coast from Washington- and Fernwood was one of our pre-planned stops. Big Sur is a tricky area- lodging is either astronomical- or mediocre....funny, because the area is truly gorgeous. Fernwood is in the mediocre genre'. The rooms are simple and basic- bathroom probably rates as a 2-... More

We had originally booked two nights at the Fernwood motel but when we turned up and saw the small, shabby cabins right on the side of the main road passing through Big Sur, we changed it to just one night. We had a room with a gas fireplace, and the fireplace was nice (especially as it was quite chilly at... More

We tent camped by the river and loved our site. The grounds were very cool, you could see the pride and care in the plantings everywhere. The succulent gardens were a treat. The staff and managers helped us plan day hikes. We climbed to "Buzzard's Roost" and saw a giant California Condor! The best camping store around too...check out Fernwood...classic... More
