Wanderlust Wednesday

With all of this cold weather, I'm itching to get out of Dodge. How about you?  I've been dreaming about my favorite place in the U.S.

 - The Post Ranch Inn - in Big Sur.

Have you been?  It is my romantic hideaway, and my husband and I use to go the same time every year in October.  It's only in the 50's now, but I would love to be cuddling in front of the fire there today.  Come dream with me.

Getting there is special. We drive from

San Francisco or San Jose.  The drive is spectacular..especially the 17 Mile Dr.

The smell of the Cypress, pine and ocean

is intoxicating. I suggest renting a convertible.

The unassuming mountainside entrance

The Rooms

Total privacy in the Ocean Rooms and Spa Suites.  

Double sided Fireplace from bedroom to the bath. Romance everywhere!

My favorite type of room in the 

Ocean Houses. Light a fire, turn on

the sound system of new age music, pop the cork, and cuddle up....color me happy.

Mountain View Rooms are special, too.

Rustic elegance.

A Spa Suite is divine.

Dining is delightful in the award winning 

Sierra Mar Restaurant. As you can imagine,

it is very romantic. Breakfast or lunch on the small patio is one of my favorite things to do.

The infinity edge pool is the most

relaxing spot on the property.

The room amenities are special too.

For me The Post Ranch Inn is

 this side of 

Heaven!
