We booked Lucia Lodge on our way from San Francisco to Los Angeles, having spotted it going the other way, loved the look of it and managed to get a last minute room. From beginning to end it was a magical experience. The location and views are spectacular, the cabin (no 9) is very simply decorated and immaculately clean. There... more

Well worth staying in one of the end cabins. The room was exactly as advertised and reviewed by others. Clean and rustic with no biz hotel amenities. The views are better than can be described and even with morning fog rolling in. The provided breakfast was good. We got there after sundown and right as they were closing the store.... more

We stayed in a partial view cabin at USD188. The only two things that weren't disappointing, was the partial view and the fact it was very clean. There is a big difference between rustic and basic. No hairdryer, coffee making,no heater in the bathroom, no hanging space at all.Unless you pay another USD 100 there is nowhere to sit out... more

Can't say enough how much my wife and I loved Lucia Lodge. If not having a tv or phone is your idea of a con, this place perhaps isn't for you. If relaxing, enjoying nature, and getting away is your thing, Lucia is perfect. The room is simple, with a small bathroom and no phone or tv. The best is... more

We stayed at the Lucia Lodge as part of a 2 1/2 week trip along the California coast. It was the most unique and spectacular experience of all the places we stayed. First, as others have advised, definitely stay in Rooms 7-10 if they are available. Although you may question the expense, once you see the location of the various... more

Don't stay in the motel section. Book a cabin and get ready to check your head out of the daily grind. My husband and I spent one enchanted evening here. It was raining. My cellphone had no reception, there is no TV in the room, no radio. We opened the door, drank wine, watched the rain and the waves. Later,... more

If you're looking for a secluded updated cabin, cliff side in Big Sur then look no further. We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed the stay in Cabin 8. I highly recommend #7-10 as they all face the water from your room. These are 1930 cabins, but have been updated and furnished nicely. The thermostat on the fireplace heater is... more

Couldn't sleep very well because the tiny electric wall heater made so much noise everytime it was turned on. We stayed in cabin 1. The other cabins must have gas heaters since they mentioned to check the thermostat and make sure the heater works in the room because sometimes the pilot light goes out after a storm. Continetal Breakfast was... more

Our 2 nights in #10, one of the oldest cabins was terrific..an un-comparable view of the coast, very nice room with gas fireplace, and a fine continental breakfast included. It's pricey AND well worth it. Had dinner al fresco with takeout from the lodge's restaurant and it was great. Excellent hiking just north at Julia Pfieffer and south at Jade... more
