"For us we booked the little cabins in the red wood. It’s very discrete and hard to find without a verbal explanation of how to get there. We came late and almost missed office hour. To be honest without the front desk telling us how to find our cabin, we would probably not find it at all. Luckily, we arrived before 9 pm, and got directions from the front desk with a map. It was an amazing spot to stay! Very quiet, there’s a stream near by with chairs to sit, and complimentary fire woods, fire starter, matches, hot chocolate, marshmallows, utensils… etc. The most surprising of it all is that the bathroom floor is heated. In addition, our neighbors followed the quiet hour rules, and we had very good sleeps. Clean cabin, clean sheets, honestly just how I imagined a tiny cabin stay would be with nicer amenities. The best part of it is the location is close to many of the state parks in the area! McWay falls is 22 mins away, Carmel by the sea is 40 mins as reference."

"I loved everything about this place! The location, the entire property, the room, the coffee and donuts in the morning, etc. When I return to the Big Sur area, I will only stay here. It was very clean (and I’m very picky) and inviting. It was such a cool and unique stay. I couldn’t recommend it more."

"I absolutely love filming weddings at Glen Oaks in Big Sur! The stunning redwood cabins and the tranquil Big Sur River create a breathtaking setting for any event. The Big Sur Roadhouse is a great spot for receptions, especially the back terrace surrounded by twinkling lights and redwoods—it’s so magical. The Fairy Circle is another incredible spot for ceremonies, nestled in a grove of ancient redwoods, offering such a unique and intimate atmosphere. Whether you’re planning a small elopement or a larger gathering, Glen Oaks has the perfect mix of rustic charm and modern comfort, and it’s always a pleasure to capture couples' special moments here."
