Our guides on the nature walks lead guests through the redwood and oak forest. Once a week a local artist introduces the many sculptures dotting the landscape, and an enthusiastic gardener reveals culinary, medicinal and beauty secrets of the plants in the herb garden growing on the roof of the restaurant. In the evening, weather permitting, join our astronomer in gazing into infinity through an electronic telescope. Far from any city, Big Sur's night sky is a pristine marvel of starry clarity. Our activities program is less about being busy, and more about sharing the treasures of Post Ranch and Big Sur.

Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Post Ranch Inn

Steven, Long Beach, CA. March, 2006

"I can't say enough about our Post Ranch experience. If you're looking for a quiet hide-away and you don't want the typical hotel experience, this IS the place. Very quiet and relaxing. I REALLY liked the warm, intimate nature of the rooms. The rooms are SOOOO quiet and private, we felt like we were the only visitors there."
