On our trip up the coast in 1956, we visited these two sites, both of which are rich with history. The website for Deetjen's (www.deetjens.com) tells the story of the original owners, Helmuth Deetjen and his wife Helen. We actually met Helen during our visit - and she was just as described, a large figure of a woman reclining in the drawing room of the hotel and chatting with visitors.

Nepenthe, now a restaurant, has a similar storied history including a brief period when it was owned by Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. (www.nepenthebigsur.com)
