Venue Features
The scene
Nestled under tall redwood trees near the Big Sur River with views of a lush grove encircled by redwood trees, Glen Oaks Big Sur is ideal for gatherings around the fire pits, parties in our mid-century Roadhouse restaurant and small ceremonies in our redwood grove. After the party we invite guests to rest their heads in the Adobe Motor Lodge, Oak Tree Cottages or Cabins in the Redwood Grove.
Design
The adobe motor lodge was considered modern in 1957 and 50 years later Glen Oaks Big Sur has a fresh rustic-modern and Green sensibility. Our remake takes the lead from the original natural adobe walls, known for keeping the hot sun out and the warmth in, and uses recycled and renewable stone, Peroba wood, bamboo, resin, wool carpets and organic cotton for a healthy and natural environment. Walk-in showers are evocative of showering in the forest, but the stylish chrome and porcelain fixtures will bring you back to the modern world. San Francisco designer Steve Justrich’s “homegrown modernism” has transformed the Roadhouse into a truly unique and fitting environment for dining in Big Sur.
Standout venue features
Our restaurant, the Big Sur Roadhouse has an amazing back patio with two outdoor gas fire pits with its own private entrance that can be reserved for private parties. Our property has recently been completely renovated. All of our rooms include heated floors, gas fire places and complimentary Wi-Fi. We have a community fire pit for the rooms in our adobe motor lodge and cottages. All of our cabins in the redwood grove will have their own fire pit with complimentary wood. Our natural wool blankets by Pendleton Woolen Mills and Coyuchi organic cotton bedding and feather duvets, are delightful to look at and even better to snuggle under, we also provide organic bath products from Innersense.
