"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
"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
"Yurts and campsites along a deserted stretch of Big Sur coast."
"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
"Another glamping option is Treebones Resort, an eco-resort that has a mix of pre-built tents and yurts, along with campsites"
