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

Frommer's "So you’re in the heart of the action when you stay here, but happily the Portola has far more character—and conscious—than a hotel this well-positioned needs to have." Full review
Gayot "A spacious, eco-friendly resort in downtown Monterey."
Afar Magazine "What makes this hotel so green? Well, there are trees in the lobby, LED lights around the hotel and organic soap in every room." Full review
Frommer's "Lobby atrium is an airy beaut with 12 full-grown, light-adorned trees in its center, giving it the feeling of a well-tended park...rooms are modern but have touches that recall the area’s storied past" Full review
