Big Sur
A Relaxing Riverside Retreat in the Heart of Big Sur
Tucked among towering redwoods along the Big Sur River, Big Sur River Inn has welcomed travelers since the 1930s. The historic inn offers cozy, cabin-style rooms and riverside suites overlooking a grassy lawn and the river. On warm afternoons, kick back in an Adirondack chair in the shallow river. Enjoy a leisurely meal on the expansive riverside deck or beside the restaurant’s historic stone fireplace. Then stop by the vintage school bus for a scoop of ice cream. Founded as Big Sur’s first hotel and restaurant, the property remains a beloved gathering place for both locals and visitors alike.
