Deetjen's Big Sur Inn

Deetjen's Big Sur Inn is a collection of single wall buildings, cabins, and a restaurant in Castro Canyon along Highway 1 in Big Sur, California. It was one of the first visitor accommodation to offer overnight lodging and meals in Big Sur for California visitors and travelers after the opening of Highway 1 in 1937. The initial property was expanded over the years and now consists of several Norwegian style cottages. made with locally milled redwood which gives each room a distinct personality and which is matched with a name. Helmuth Deetjen recreated the building style of his native Norway, contributing to the development of the now-iconic Big Sur building style.
