I stayed in Room 2, the last cabin on the river, or I could have said IN the river, as the water was very high due to a recent storm. Consequently the room tended to be cold and damp (my clothes were still slightly damp when I unpacked them 2 days later) but the constant sound of rushing water made... more

This is a nice place, a rustic cabin no frills, but that was fine with us. I agree with the other reviewers that some of the staff are not very friendly - I think one of them has been working their way too long and she has a cranky attitude. But who cares about that - it is a reasonably... more

These cabins are basic, but they are so nice and pleasant to stay in. We booked a river cabin, which was beautiful. There are even chairs outside just for relaxation. The room is clean and comfortable. The heater works well. The only possible complaint is that the curtains are a little sheer, which potentially allows someone to see inside under... more

Ripplewood cabins have quaint attractive exteriors. The full service kitchen was clean and comfortable. However, upon entering cabin 10, we detected smoke damage smell which was faintly evident throughout our stay. Either wood burning stove needs servicing, or smoke is lingering from past past fires. Even more disappointing was the Zero Flow/Water Pressure in our shower. To be fair, maintenance... more

Ripplewood Resort is a beautiful place to stay! We had a wooden house in the middle of nature with our own terrace, 1 bedroom, other bed in the livingroom, big kitchen, big diningtable, enough space for 4 people. Also a nice bathroom. Everything was from wood so beautiful. The restaurant was only open for breakfast, but the breakfast was very... more

You need to book accomodation well in advance as Ripplewood is very popular. Our cabins had no self catering but we found a good meal and drink down the road, The cabins are clean and well maintained, although ours had a bit of a plumbing problem and they will cool down considerably by early morning, but an efficient heater and... more

We stayed in Cabin #5. It was everything we were expecting from a cabin....rustic, cozy, remote, nestled in the woods, and near a river/stream. We arrived at Ripplewood after the store had already closed. They left us a note on the door with instructions on how to get to ourcabin and where to locate the key. Once we got in... more

I did a lot of research before deciding on a place to stay in Big Sur, and went with Ripplewood because it seemed like it was the best value for the price. The cabin was quaint, cozy, and very clean. We stayed in Cabin #5, and although we didn't hate it, we'd go with a cabin right on the river... more

Ripplewood is perfect for a quiet, no frills get away. Keep in mind these are cabins - this is not the Ritz. The cabins however, are clean, the beds are really comfy and the place has a very cozy feel to it. Our first night we were in Cabin 16 which is listed as a hillside cabin.For just two people... more
