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.
No experience with service but the simplest room is clean and nice with gas fireplace beautiful bathroom… but we arrived at 5 pm and didn’t have energy to go out again so we took their little hike and hung out by the stream.
We enjoyed it.
