My partner and I arrived in Big Sur after a 13 hour flight and a 7 hour drive along some of the most beautiful coast line I've seen. We didn't want to spend a lot of money and chose Fernwood for both the location to Big Sur's sights and it's cheap rooms. They gave us a choice of a very... more

Got there late on a Saturday, sunny weekend, everything else fully booked or way too expensive. They rented me a small "overflow" room for $80, very small, very noisy (right next to Highway 1), but if you know the prices in Big Sur, that is a good value. Room well kept. Only go to Big Sur with Camping equipment -... more

Hi folks. Been going to fernwood for years but my last visit wasn't quite up to par. We pulled into the camp sight and got a hard time for going slightly over the limit just a touch. Then tent campimg at $45- a night. What's up with that? Last but not least we went up for a drink and the... more

It is a casual place as is the style in Big Sur. A great general store attached. You could literally leave your apt... more

We stayed in the RV park below the motel July 27 - July30. People at front desk were accomdating and helpful since the fire had screwed everything up. Music at the bar Friday and Saturday. Great food (burgers, and other stuff) at the bar. Found the store to be helpful and willing to help. Beautiful setting for tents and trailers,... more

A pleasent stay overall. The staff is friendly, The bathrooms could use more sinks, and a shower changing area with more privacy would have been nice. Late checkins can be noisy. more

My husband and I stayed there for 3 nights July 26th thru July 28th. We stayed in cottage A with the hot tub. Very clean and staff was friendly and helpful. This hotel is right on the highway, once your in your room you never heard the traffic. The rooms are in front of the campground. I found this not... more
