Fernwood Resort - A rustic retreat with riverfront cabins, redwood groves, and direct access to Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park
Fernwood Resort offers forest and meadow-view cabins, motel rooms, and glamping tents along the Big Sur River, bordered by Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. Accommodations range from fully equipped cabins with kitchens to canvas tent cabins with bunk beds, some featuring private hot tubs or decks overlooking the campground. The Tavern Bar & Grill serves pizza, burgers, and local craft cocktails, with live music on weekends and a back deck shaded by redwoods. Guests at Fernwood Resort can hike directly into Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park via the Buzzard's Roost Trail or swim in the river's natural pools. The property includes a general store with espresso, ice cream, and camping supplies, while Verizon and AT&T provide limited cell coverage. Highway 1 runs adjacent to the resort, with Andrew Molera State Park and Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park within a 20-minute drive.

The restaurant earns high marks, especially the terrace; amenities extend to live music, streamside access, and even karaoke nights. Expect comfortable, homey rooms and rare convenience.”
