About midway along The Big Sur is the tiny hamlet of Lucia. Drive too fast and you will most certainly miss it. But what a waste if you did. It is old fashioned, B&B with a motel-like row of tiny 1930s rooms hanging off the edge of a cliff. 50 yards off Highway 1, down a very steep drive. The... More

We stayed in Room 9, but any cabin really will have scenic views. The room was really nice and big, I don't know what everyone was on about it being too small....the bathroom, ok yes - but you won't need it for much anyway. The view is indescribably beautiful!! I loved the 2 armchairs out front - sooo romantic to... More

This review is only for the lodge, not the restaurant or the store. We stayed May 9, 2013. To me Big Sur is the beautiful coastline. We stayed @ Cabin 9 for one night. Most Big Sur lodging are expensive, we were a little hesitant booking the lodge after reading the mixed reviews so we only booked it for one... More

We stayed in room 9 for one night on May 1st as we traveled through the Big Sur. It was our favorite stop of many on our trip trough Yosemite, through the Big Sur, and on to San Francisco. The staff were very nice and the room was cozy and charming. The views were among our favorite on the Big... More

This is an old place on the bluff, that probably has gotten by as being the 'last resort'. BUT...its clean. The rooms are probably 10x10 with a tilting floors, extremely small like 4x4 bathrooms (shower, commode and sink). Lucia Lodge had two rooms available when all else was full. NO extras. No tv, that's fine, slow internet, if any (they... More

If the cost of the room is in your budget, this is a very cozy, scenic and great place to stay. We stayed in rooms 8 & 9 that sat off the cliff. The bed was very comfortable, tiny bathroom , gas fireplace and the view out the front door was really great. Breakfast next morning was good too. The... More

The joy of Lucia Lodge is its remoteness. On Highway 1 but 20 miles or so south of Big Sur village and a long way north of San Simeon. You come here to get away, take take time out and take in the breathtaking ocean views. The older historic cabins are well-kept but basic in terms of 21st Century lodging... More

We recently a couple of days at the Lucia Lodge and overall it was very enjoyable. You can not beat the location as the scenery is spectacular. Our accomodations were great. We stayed in one of the original cabins, #9, I believe and it was like going back in time yet at the same time it was immaculate and very... More

This quirky hide-away has a great location, and good staff. You want rooms 7 or above for ocean view. We made a last minute decision to stay there, got room 4, which has literally no view, but we were stopping for convenience, not for view. We arrived after dark and after t heir closing hours of 7:30 pm. Staff was... More
