Nestled on the cliffs of Big Sur, California, 1200 ft above the Pacific Ocean, the Post Ranch Inn is a luxury eco-hotel for the ultimate romantic getaway for those seeking a luxurious escape for a honeymoon, anniversary, or a relaxing vacation. The Post Ranch Inn has been named Hotel of the Year for 2004 by Small Luxury Hotels of the World. The environmentally-sensitive 30-room property overlooks the Pacific along the Big Sur coastline and strongly supports measures to conserve resources while also helping to protect threatened flora and fauna.

These single standing structures have a curved, beamed roof covered with a soft carpet of grass and wildflowers. There are ocean views from the bed, bath, window seat and terrace. If requested, the window seat may be made into a twin bed. The glow from the two-sided fireplace may be seen from the bed and bath.
