"Perched on a hilltop, surrounded by national forest and stunning, unobstructed ocean views, this yurt resort provides a stellar back-to-nature experience along with creature comforts." Full review

"Nearly every Mongolian-esque yurt at this eco-resort has ocean views from the redwood decks and Adirondack chairs, but without the thread count or plumbing." Full review
Lonely Planet Lonely Planet
"A unique woven 'human nest' and canvas-sided yurts with polished pine floors, quilt-covered beds, sink vanities and redwood decks are more like glamping, with little privacy." Full review
Gayot Gayot
"Yurts and campsites along a deserted stretch of Big Sur coast."
Afar Magazine Afar Magazine
"The off-the-grid property offers 16 signature yurts as well as oceanfront campsites, a tipi-like tent, and the "human nest"...a spherical dwelling woven from tree branches by local artist Jayson Fann." Full review

"This historic 1930s Norwegian-style property is endearingly rustic, especially if you're willing to go with a camplike flow." Full review
Lonely Planet Lonely Planet
"Nestled among redwoods and wisteria, this creekside conglomeration of rustic, thin-walled rooms and cottages was built by Norwegian immigrant Helmuth Deetjen in the 1930s." Full review
Gayot Gayot
"Historic accommodations in the forest near Big Sur."
Afar Magazine Afar Magazine
"It's a ramshackle but romantic historic inn on the mountain side of the highway nestled in a forest glen. Cabins and rooms have fireplaces, cozy blanket-heavy beds, and no TVs." Full review
