Glen Oaks Big Sur is a highly recommended destination for couples, travelers, and those seeking a unique, peaceful experience in Big Sur. The property features a variety of cabins, each with different charm and amenities, including patios, fire pits, outdoor tubs, and heated bathroom floors. The Redwood Grove cabins and Bridge House are particularly popular for their privacy, as they are located across a suspension bridge, offering a tranquil retreat away from the main area. The cabins are well-maintained, clean, and often come with thoughtful touches like firewood, marshmallows, hot chocolate, and utensils, making stays comfortable and cozy. The location of Glen Oaks is ideal for exploring nearby state parks and attractions, such as McWay Falls and Carmel by the Sea. Guests often enjoy sitting by streams, walking through redwood trails, or relaxing in Adirondack chairs by the river, adding to the sense of magic and serenity. The property’s gardens are beautiful, and the redwoods and ferns create a perfect natural setting for events like micro-weddings, which many describe as pure and sacred. While most visitors have a wonderful experience, some mention uneven treatment from staff, particularly at the front desk, which can affect their stay. Despite this, the overall impression is of a clean, beautiful, and peaceful place that offers a memorable and unique Big Sur experience. Glen Oaks Big Sur is a place where nature, comfort, and privacy come together for a truly special stay.
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 had my micro wedding here in the fairy circle! It was pure magic! The bridge house and bunk house were absolutely beautiful. Didn't need wedding decor because the redwoods and ferns were perfect. Definitely felt sacred.

Exceeded our expectation. New feeling, clean, beautiful gardens, heated bathroom floor a plus. Comfy beds, some games which we used, nice complimentary bottle of wine. A little pricier than our normal stay but I mean location is a big factor. They were kind enough to let us check out late also. Would stay here again.
