This is a lovely exploration of a favorite getaway in Big Sur

In the late 50s, early 60s...I had the good fortune to stumble into this Simple Inn.... Poppa Deetjen and Ed quietly made all travelers welcome. It truly is one of those very unique places where time literally stands still. Nothing changes, if anything, it gets better, each time you visit. Anita Alan has captured the very essance of of ALL that the Inn is about, she has stimulated my senses so, that I can taste, feel and re-experience my past times.... Her writing will most definetly stimulate you into to visiting, an enjoying your own experience..I GAR-RON-TEE ! !

The book is excellent. For all of us who have had the good fortune to experience Deetjen -the book is a must. linda c.

What a wonderful view into the past of a famous landmark! Ms. Alan's poetry and prose made me feel as if I were a witness to each event. I can't wait to vist the inn on my next trip to Big Sur.
