Photo Information: Like the rest of the place this photo of the front sign just off the highway at Deejen's Big Sur Inn is rustic and a bit rough. Historic Deetjen's Big Sur Inn and Restaurant (sometimes called a Bed and Breakfast) is tucked away in its own beautiful redwood forest canyon on the east side of Pacific Coast Highway 1. Deetjen's Inn offers cozy, rustic rooms and cottages. The restaurant serves up delicious will prepared breakfasts and dinners in a quaint whimsically decorated dining room.
As highway 1 takes you through the Redwood Forests of the Big Sur River Valley you come upon a number of clusters of little business areas all within a few miles of each other. They are all wonderful in their own ways and vary slightly but the one thing they have in common is they are there for you and have been for many years to do their best to serve the Pacific Coast Highway traveler and they generally do that well. Each is like a mini-resort or private campground offering a smorgasbord of traveler/vacationer facilities and services. If you stop and where you stop and what you do can depend on many things. What time of year it is, what are your needs and desires and what your budget i$.

If you are looking for a place to stay this website has a guide to all the Big Sur Hotel Lodgings, personally I prefer the Big Sur Campgrounds. If you are planning on being hungry during your trip there is a Guide to All the Big Sur Restaurants but I must say my favorite Big Sir Restaurant for breakfast is Ragged Point Inn Restaurant and for lunch or dinner it is Nepenthe.
