The Whole Story

The organic architecture is as adventurous as the location. You approach along a private small mountain road that winds its way through dense forest. A series of Tree House and Ocean House rooms gaze across to the mountains or vast expanse of sea and sky. The Tree House rooms are suspended on timber stilts, a mélange of triangular shapes creating an interior unlike any other. The ocean house rooms are similarly innovative, virtually buried in the side of the steep slope from which they look out, with roofs covered in topsoil and planted. Fusion of glass, stone, slate and native woods reflects a lifelong commitment to environmentally appropriate design.Extraordinary location, extraordinary architecture – but even these are not the only drawing cards of Post Ranch Inn. Because many guests come first and foremost for the food at Sierra Mar with its world class New California cuisine.
