Welcome to Deetjen’s Inn
Deetjen’s Inn invites you to relax in comfortable, rustic rooms on the edge of the redwood forest in Big Sur.
Before Highway One was completed in 1937, Castro Canyon was a traditional stopover for travelers along the coastal wagon road. When Helmuth and Helen Deetjen began welcoming guests in the 1930s, Deetjen's Inn was born.
A Big Sur Experience Like No Other
Year round, the Inn's well-tended gardens bloom and the Castro Canyon waterfall splashes into the creek. Our guests often say that a visit to Deetjen’s feels like coming home.

Dedicated to Preserving the History and Culture of the Inn
The rustic rooms, lack of cell service or wifi invokes a sense of place and time from a bygone era.
