Illustrations from a guest book at Deetjen's Big Sur Inn. Happy Thursday everyone!

While driving down the coast, one of the places that we stopped for the evening while driving through the Big Sur was Deetjen's. Built in the 1930's the little cottages reminded me more of private little treehouses that felt almost like home. The cozy interior decor and the magical light that filled the rooms were like something out of a magical fairytale... With no phone service, internet, or television (and even no locks on the doors!) we had dinner at the restaurant at Deetjen's and snuggled in for the evening, and took a step back to slow down and rest our bones. With all of the frenzy of traveling from one location to the next on an every day basis, it was exactly what we needed. PS - After we left, someone gave me a recommendation to visit the Esalen hot springs and although it was too late for us, if you're ever in the area, be sure to check it out as it sounds absolutely magical...
