A Family Oasis: Exploring the Big Sur River Inn
Nestled in the heart of Big Sur, the Big Sur River Inn stands as a tranquil retreat for families seeking to reconnect with nature and each other. Surrounded by towering redwoods and the soothing sounds of the Big Sur River, this historic inn offers a unique blend of comfort, adventure, and relaxation, making it the perfect destination for a family getaway.
Accommodations at the Big Sur River Inn cater to families of all sizes, with cozy rooms and spacious suites that provide a comfortable home away from home. Many rooms offer stunning views of the river or the surrounding forest, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of Big Sur. We loved our Two Room Riverside Suite so the kids could go to sleep in one room but we were able to stay up and enjoy the space!
One of the highlights of staying at the Big Sur River Inn is the abundance of outdoor activities available for families to enjoy. The inn's location along the Big Sur River provides easy access to a variety of water-based and outdoor activities. You will be just steps away from the river. In the warm months you can enjoy the large lounge chairs right in the river!
After a day of adventure, families can unwind at the Big Sur River Inn's on-site restaurant, the Big Sur River Inn Restaurant. Known for its delicious comfort food and warm hospitality, the restaurant offers a menu that caters to both adults and children, ensuring that everyone in the family leaves satisfied.
For families looking to explore beyond the inn, Big Sur offers a wealth of attractions and activities. From exploring the iconic Bixby Creek Bridge to hiking in Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, there's no shortage of things to see and do in this stunning coastal region.
Whether you're looking to relax by the river or embark on an adventure in the great outdoors, the Big Sur River Inn offers the perfect setting for a memorable family vacation. With its comfortable accommodations, array of activities, and beautiful surroundings, it's no wonder that families return to the Big Sur River Inn year after year.
