Deep into Big Sur and tucked into Castro Canyon, (the waterfall found on the property is called Castro Canyon Waterfall and the bridge that Highway 1 goes over is the Castro Canyon Bridge, for all your geography nerds out there), right where the highway turns, you’ll find as assortment of cabins and lo and behold is Deetjen’s.
