Would You Like to Find the Perfect Big Sur Lodging?
There’s nothing like staying in Big Sur, CA!
One of the most beautiful areas in California if not the entire United States is here in Big Sur.
As rugged and undeveloped as the coastline is, you can rest assured that there are Big Sur accomadations that will please anybody.
The thing to keep in mind is that Big Sur Lodging is either super luxurious and expensive or quite rustic and moderately priced.
What that means is for the luxurious you’re looking at $550-$2200 per night at say the Post Ranch Inn or for the rustic you’re in the ballpark of $125-$260 per night at the Big Sur River Inn. There are also some really good lodging options for under $100 too!

If you must have a room with an ocean view check out Big Sur Lodging with an Ocean View. You’ll be surprised at the affordability of some of these rooms. Traveling with your family pet? Many places in Big Sur simply do not allow pets, but there are a few. Check out Pet friendly Big Sur Lodging.
If the "luxurious" is a little too steep in price and the "rustic" options just isn’t what you had in mind than I recommend you stay in Monterey or Carmel and drive into Big Sur. You’ll have many more options especially in Monterey and you’ll get more for your dollar.
Don’t get me wrong, staying in Big Sur is tremendous but I just want you to be happy with your accomadations no matter where you stay. With that said, there are a number of fantastic Big Sur Lodging options that will have you communing with the coastline in no time. Get more Big Sur Lodging Tips. See below:
