Deetjen's Big Sur Inn is a non-profit dedicated to the preservation and rehabilitation of the historic Big Sur Inn at Castro Canyon. A stay at Deetjen's is a step-back in time; you are immersing yourself in the unique historic experience that Grandpa and Mrs Deetjen created more than 75 years ago. The rooms are preserved in their original form with single-wall redwood construction, hand hewn doors and windows, and antique adornments. Some rooms have wood-burning stoves. The room experience is rounded out by reading and writing in each room's unique journal. You may also enjoy reading the journals of the past which are securely cataloged in the Deetjen's Archive. There are no TV's nor telephones in the rooms; there is no cell service on the property and there is no Wifi. Reservations can be made by calling the inn.

This has to be one of the quaintest breakfast places I've ever been too. It also is my favorite place to get breakfast along this stretch of HWY 1. It's full of history! The breakfast is delicious...
