Welcome to Glen Oaks Big Sur, located just off a bend in the coastal highway in Big Sur, nestled against a hillside in a grove of historic oaks. Glen Oaks is the perfect place for a romantic weekend getaway or an overnight stop on your coastal road trip adventure. Our remake of Doris Fee's 1957 redwood post and adobe motor lodge reflects what we love most about Big Sur — indoor-outdoor living, close to nature and natural materials, yet with touches as bold and colorful as the dramatic California coast.
The Glen Oaks Motel offers clean, comfortable, modestly priced rooms in a cheerful garden setting. We have 15 rooms and 2 cottages.
All of our rooms are single story, of adobe brick and redwood beam construction, in the style of a classic motor lodge. Each room has a private bath with a walk-in shower or tub/shower combination.
The cottages are larger, and offer greater privacy and more amenities. Each cottage has one queen size bed in the bedroom, a tub/shower combination in the bathroom, a private deck and fireplace.
Our sunny location in the Big Sur river valley, 25 miles south of Carmel, gives you easy access to all the natural wonders of Big Sur. Also nearby are: 12 restaurants, 3 gift shops, 3 art galleries, 5 grocery stores and a post office tending to the daily needs of our guests and visitors.
Convenient for our guests and just steps from your room, are the Ripplewood Cafe serving breakfast and lunch and the Bonito Roadhouse serving dinner.
