Historic room at the Deetjen's Inn G randpa Deetjen designed and built the Big Sur Inn’s rooms from the 1930’s to the 1960’s, each with a unique personality. In the process of constructing the Inn, Deetjen recreated the architecture of his native Norway using local materials, developing what is now known as the "Big Sur style" of building.

Rooms at Deetjen’s are romantic and rustic, decorated with treasures from the past. Our quality beds feature linens as often found in fine European hotels. Rooms look out onto lush redwood forest in the front canyon as well as the Inn’s well-tended gardens.

The Inn is a time-honored spot for honeymoons, anniversaries, and intimate gatherings of family and friends. Our hope is that, to quote a journal entry from a guest in 1955, that you "arrive here as a stranger but depart as a friend."

We maintain this peaceful environment miles away from the energy of modern life. Please know that we have no televisions, internet access nor telephones in the rooms, and no cell phone coverage on the property. 

Our historic buildings have single-wall construction and are far from soundproof. Five of our most historic rooms in the Hayloft Hostel (built in the 1930’s) share two bathrooms. All other rooms have private bathrooms.
