Big Sur, CA

What it lacks in space, the Little Room at Deetjen’s Big Sur Inn makes up for in history. Since the 1930s, visitors from around the world have been placing wine corks with their initials in the ceiling. Although they’ve painted most of the corks over now, if you look closely you can still find a few wedged in the cracks. (And while you’re there, make sure to leaf through the Inn’s rustic travel journals kept by previous guests—juicy tales await you!)
