The Post Ranch Inn is situated in Big Sur, California, and designed by local architect Mickey Muennig. What makes this rustic, eco-luxury hotel interesting is the fact that it overlooks the view of Pacific as well as how nature cocoons the property. The hotel offers 960-square-foot of glass and wood surroundings that every visitor will fall in love with.
