The next stop on our California trip was Big Sur. We drove south from San Jose on Highway 1 until we encountered a roadblock. The helpful staff at the Post Ranch Inn directed us on a detour around the collapsed section of the highway, and hours later, we were thrilled to be welcomed to this exceptional resort.
It was nighttime when we arrived and we were driven in a Lexus to our secluded room, which overlooked the Pacific Ocean. This incredible suite looked less like a hotel room and more like a Frank Lloyd Wright creation – the inn’s rooms are literally built into the landscape -- cantilevered off the mountain -- and each one is its own unique and private oasis.
After a world-class dinner at the Inn’s Sierra Mar restaurant, we walked down the path back to our room, past the heated meditation pool, and marveled at the sheer number of stars visible in the night sky. We were truly worlds away from city life here.
Back at the room, my husband braved the chilly outdoors to take a dip in the hot tub on our balcony while I filled up the tub in the bathroom and began to relax for real. The next morning we took a walk on Billy’s Trail which led us on a path through the forest. But my favorite part of our stay at the Post Ranch Inn was breakfast. A fantastic buffet complete with waffle and omelet stations was only surpassed by the view of the ocean we had from our table, perched high on a cliff in the middle of nature.
This gem of an inn was the perfect babymoon for us. The staff was professional yet friendly and the overall vibe was sophisticated but never stuffy. We agreed that we could have spent an entire week relaxing here, but alas the lure of Los Angeles was calling…
Whether you’re celebrating a honeymoon, a babymoon or anniversary, or just want to be alone with that someone special, book a room at the Post Ranch Inn. You won’t regret it!
