Post Ranch Inn

We chose Post Ranch Inn for our elopement, and it was truly the perfect experience. The elopement coordination was wonderfully low-stress. Derek took care of everything, and he went above and beyond to secure our preferred photographer. Our ceremony was perfect, and the officiant took the time to ensure our ceremony was special and intimate. The sweet surprise of having our wedding cake set up in our room after dinner was such a thoughtful touch. Breakfast and dinner at Sierra Mar were genuinely five-star. The care and attention from the staff were exceptional, and we had some of the best dishes we’ve ever experienced anywhere. The property itself is magical—peaceful, breathtaking, and so well cared for that you never feel the need to leave. If you go, we highly recommend the falconry experience. It ended up being one of our favorite memories. Post Ranch Inn made our elopement unforgettable, and we can’t recommend it enough. We look forward to returning for anniversaries and reliving the magic you can only find in Big Sur!

Had an amazing time. All the activities were memorable and the staff assisted us with all our requests. I had a blast driving the Lexus cars out on the highway.

This place is amazing, 4th time here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we love it. No words can describe the experience you have to visit to really know how it is.

My husband Ryan and I spent two nights at Post Ranch Inn for a much needed getaway from our two kids, and it was absolutely everything we could have hoped for, pure nature combined with effortless luxury. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the property. Our room was breathtaking, perched high above a sea of clouds with an endless view of the ocean. Every detail was perfect. The food and drinks were exceptional. A special shoutout to Tommy, the bartender, who crafted the best White Russian I’ve ever had; he listened to exactly what I wanted and made it even better than I imagined. We also had a blast cruising up and down the Pacific Coast Highway in one of the hotel’s vehicles. One of my favorite moments of the trip was after dinner one evening when the staff invited us out to the patio for stargazing. They even showed us Saturn and its moons through a telescope—it was truly magical. We felt completely spoiled and so grateful to experience a place like this. It was a once-in-a-lifetime stay, and while it’s certainly a splurge, every penny was worth it.

This was an incredible experience--I loved how relaxing, quiet, and unpretentious Post Ranch Inn was. The landscape is gorgeous and soul-restoring. It was a bucket list experience for me.
