In the 1930s, before Highway 1 was built, this homestead in a redwood canyon was an overnight stopping place on the coastal wagon road. Norwegian homesteader Helmuth Deetjen built the original units from hand-hewn logs and lumber. Folks either love or hate them. They're cozy and adorable, with ol... more on Frommer's

4.0: "Rustic Fun"

Deetjens is a great little Inn on the Big Sur highway. I can promise you will be way too mesmerized by Big Sur to see it the first time as it is tucked in a small bend of the road. Once you turn around and head back, you won't be dissapointed. First of all, there are no locks on the doors. You ha... jmurra, a user of TripAdvisor. Read full review on Tripadvisor.com

1.5: "Rustic, but Affordable"

My wife and I stayed at Deetjen's for 2 nights while we were exploring the Big Sur area. To say that it's "rustic" is an understatement.

5.0: What a treasure!

I stayed at Deetjens 30 years ago -- my fond farewell as I moved from California. And it kept tugging at my heart to come back. 30 years ago it was kind of a hippy hang-out -- now it's on the register of National Historic Landmarks! I warned my hubby it was REAL rustic but he fell in love with it... tuck78, a user of Tripadvisor. Read full review on TripAdvisor
