Fernwood Resort

We needed a place to stay last minute as we were visiting Big Sur and didn't want to drive home as it was evening/dark and we lived 5 hrs south. They had a camping cabin available for my family and 3 dogs. It was a cute cabin and we enjoyed our overnight stay.

We stayed as a family of four for 1 night in Motel Room G. The room was clean and comfortable with a queen bed, a double bed and ensuite bathroom. We were initially worried there might be some road noise but we didn't notice any. We had dinner at the restaurant which we all enjoyed, the outdoor patio area is very nice. There is also a convenience store which we used to buy a few items the next day before we left. Fernwood Resort was very affordable for the Big Sur area and we recommend staying here.

We stopped at fernwoods after hiking for a quick dinner. When we walked on the back patios it was unexpected in the best way. The back patio has a magical feel with the amazing Big Sur backdrop. They had ample heaters to help with the chill that sets in for dinner time. The food was also great but the highlight for us was the patio and the amazing scenery

Looks like a pretty place but we will not be able to go because Highway 1 remains closed, despite assurances it would be open by late Spring 2024. My problem with this place is their highly punitive 14-day cancellation policy. If you meet that deadline, you will still pay $25 cancellation fee + "change fees." Anytime short of the 14 days will cost you $25 per day -- quickly eating up your $150+ deposit. This is the most restrictive and punitive cancellation policy I have come across in my days of travel. BE CAREFUL!

Totally Recommended!! Our first time staying at the Motel. We loved the friendliness of Jennifer Verdeja- we had the best customer service! Rooms fine for the inexpensive BIG SUR price you pay!' We had Room H with our own hot tub. Heating worked great ... Rustic but comfortable! Redwoods are in your backyard. So beautiful!! We loved the Restaurant! It was our first time.Our server was super friendly!! Again prices were reasonable!!! I am looking forward to going again and again!! The restaurant was delicious. We had the best service - delicious brussel sprouts , a burger and pot pie in the Redwoods. Stellar weather however there were heat lamps and fireplaces as well! I probably should not tell too many people !!

Soooooo rude. Maybe classes in social interactions would help? We spent a lot of money for the unspoken f*** you from the charmless young women in the shop. We have stayed in a number of places in Big Sur which have been amazing. This was not one of them. Might be an idea to remember that a lot of people visiting will be on the trip of a lifetime and should be met with courtesy.
