My twin sister and her husband took a weekend getaway to Big Sur and stayed in a yurt! They said it was one of their coolest vacations. How invigorating to spend the day hiking and swimming, and in the evening, you can drink wine on your deck, breathe the salty air, and watch the sunset. Yurts also seem like a great baby step for those of us who aren't big campers: You get to be in nature and sleep in a bed. Good for wusses!Have you ever stayed in a yurt? Would you want to? Big Sur looks incredible.
P.S. More travel fantasies, and are you the camping type?

This looks beautiful ! I had never even heard of Yurts! And only the song "big sur" by the thrills rings a bell. I wanna go there!
ReplyDeleteYess!!! I remember learning about yurts in 8th grade and wanting to build one in our backyard. I would love this adventure!
ReplyDeletehave you seen this?

Love yurts! We always stay in one at a Georgia state park we like to go to. It's right on the water- we call staying in yurts"comfort camping"!
ReplyDeleteI went on a yurt-ing weekend a few weeks ago with my husband and a bunch of our friends, here in Oregon. We are a group that camps a lot, but this was perfect for the winter in Oregon, where we never know if it is going to rain or not! You should definitely try it!

We stayed in a yurt at Cape Disappointment State Park in Washington and loved it. They were great and the best part is that they have an electric heater for chilly nights. A lot of state parks on the west coast have them.
ReplyDeleteI think we stayed at the same spot several years ago. Was it Tree Bones? If so, it was stunningly beautiful, but sleeping in the yurt was not fun. It may have been the time of year, though I think it's always pretty windy at night in Big Sur. We said afterwards that it felt like sleeping inside of the drum on which the end of the world was being sound. It was so loud we did not sleep a wink!
ReplyDeleteI stayed at the Treebones Resort in Big Sur and it was amazing! Highly recommend. The views, location and FOOD are just awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat looks AWESOME! Like... tent+++++
ReplyDeleteWow...looks amazing! I'm not crazy about campign, so this 'yurt' thing -which I never heard of, btw-sounds perfect for me! Thanks for sharing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteI wish!
thanks for sharing!
hugs, xo!

I stayed in a yurt in Mongolia a few years ago -- it was part of this whole Genghis Khan, riding ponies across the plains, etc. etc. Mongolian fantasy -- and I guess the traditional way of doing it is that you simply sleep on carpets on the floor? And this is horrible, and maybe we should have just sprung for a cleaner/more expensive place, but I stayed up the whole night thinking, "lice, lice, lice."
ReplyDeleteI didn't get lice. Still, yurt + bed seems like a better option.
My boyfriend and I stayed here! It was the perfect combination of outdoorsy and luxury. I would definitely recommend it!

There are some BEAUTIFUL yurts up Millcreek Canyon in Salt Lake City. In the winter, you snowshoe in and then you're up in the mountains, all by yourself, with nothing but nature and your loved one(s). So fun!
ReplyDeleteThe Big Sur ones look amazing!
Big Sur is one of my fave places in the world. It's wild, windswept, yet beautiful and relaxing. So close to nature.
ReplyDeleteI've hung out in a yurt and love the atmosphere of it- round, open and cozy.
I never realized some operate as hotels- will have to check it out!!
Yurts are available on many place on the NW shores. I like to "camp" in yurts in the winter and leave tent camping for the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of "camping lite." Yurting definitely seems like a good option for my new-to-camping family.
ReplyDeleteThat's where I got engaged! It is such a magical place!
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm not sure my fiance would go for the whole yurt thing, but I'd love to do that for our honeymoon! How cool.
ReplyDeleteI would totally sleep in a Yurt. I think you are right in saying it's a good intro to people with kids and "wusses" lol

In all honesty, this is the first time I've even heard of these magical half camping luxury houses. I'll be looking into it for my next holiday!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect! You're right, it's the perfect baby step towards camping for us 'stay at home' types. I must stay in one of these!
ReplyDeletei am totally a camping wuss, but this yurt idea sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBig Sur really is an amazing place. It's not just beautiful, it's magical. I am the camping type and have backpacked a lot there, but have always wanted to experience the luxury of a yurt! Someday... ;)
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I went on a double-date yurting adventure with my best friend and his girlfriend last month. It was one of the best holidays I've ever been on! We went cross-country skiing, skating and hiking during the day and snuggled up in front of our wood burning stove with a glass of wine every night.
ReplyDeleteWe've already booked it for reading week next year!
I'm getting married at Liberty View Farm (libertyviewfarm.biz)in August, and they have an amazing yurt that we're going to stay in on our wedding night! Only an hour from NYC home!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog.
Oh boy! That is my next vacation...I just know it:) How awesome?! Camping is one of my favorite summer time things to do, but this would elevate your stay and still give you the camping feel.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that????
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I've always wanted to stay in a yurt! There's a place outside of Asheville where you can camp in a yurt, much closer to home, I may have to pull the trigger someday soon:)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, I Think that looks lovely but no way, it is not camping! I know because I'm the camping type :)
ReplyDeleteThis would be PERFECT for my husband and me. He loves hiking and camping, whereas I like knowing that I have a cozy bed and shower at the end of the day. Plus I've been wanting to go to California for a while.
ReplyDeleteMy husband took me to Treebone as a surprise. He was my boyfriend at the time and I'd never really thought much about marrying him until that trip. It was so beautiful, breath-taking really, and so incredibly romantic! Everyone should go! (P.S. It is surprisingly affordable.)
ReplyDeleteBig Sur is absolutely beautiful! I've only just driven through a few times but this would be a lovely place to stay! I think I need to start planning a road trip now!!
ReplyDeleteJennifer
We stayed in the same yurt, it was beautiful, totally breathtaking. There was even a human birds nest that we climbed into BUT I couldn't sleep, the wind on the yurt kept me awake :(
ReplyDeletebig sur is where we were married..
ReplyDeleteand YES, it is UNBELIEVABLE incredible... you MUST take a vacation there with your family.. it will literally change your life...
i have had friends stay in yurts, and they love them... we usually just camp (:
Yes, I absolutey would, looks wonderful and what a view! I think I tee pee would be even better.
ReplyDeletethat sounds like so much fun!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have such an influential blog that impact a lot of people all over the world and I was wondering if you would please share this video on the Invisible Children campaign. It isn't to celebrate Joseph Kony, but to raise support for his arrest. I really hope you watch this and join the fight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4MnpzG5Sqc
ReplyDeleteI stayed at this same place on my honeymoon! It's called Treebones, and it's amazing. I highly recommend it! They had an outdoor hot tub, a bird's nest that you can hang out in with a view of the ocean and an outdoor sushi restaurant. Perfection!
ReplyDeleteWe went to Big Sur a couple weekends ago and rented an incredible cliffside cabin. It was the most serene getaway from the LA madness.
ReplyDeleteWe just considered booking a yurt here for our honeymoon actually! We discovered there aren't bathroom facilities in the yurt (duh) and there is not a ton of privacy (noise travels through the campsite), so we chose to go elsewhere for our honeymoon, but they have GREAT customer service (speak to Donna) and we definitely plan to visit in the future. Many places in Big Sur don't allow children, but this place does (over age 6) so we intend to come back with our 7 yr old. How funny that you posted this today!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the ideal nature getaway to me! All the fun of being outside, but with some comfort as well!!! Sign me up!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I recently stayed in a Yurt in Homer, Alaska (http://www.kenaipeninsulasuites.com/accomodations.html, see "Puffin"). It was a log yurt, well insulated, and a fun site to stay in for sure. The views were incredible!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a dream/fantasy (or something straight out of Harry Potter)!
ReplyDeletehttp://amyturman.blogspot.com
i grew up in berkeley and i love big sur! my parents go to treebones regularly for what they call "working vacations" and they sit in the main dining room during the day, looking out over the ocean and working on their grants and then in the afternoon they go on long hikes and go in the hot tub. i went once for a weekend with my mom and it was heavenly--so beautiful and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteMy dad and I traveled around Mongolia for three weeks, where they originated and are called "gers." After driving all day not seeing another soul, only camels, we would come upon a small cluster and stay the night in someone's guest ger. Or if you saw one during the day, you just pop in and have lunch. Can you imagine coming upon a stranger's house in the states and coming in for a shared lunch?! Needless to say, I am a huge yurt fan and would love to go to Big Sur.
ReplyDeletecamping is my favorite; last year my boyfriend and I stayed in a yurt on the Puget Sound. It was cold, but cuddle and fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my DREAMS!!!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the perfect compromise!
ReplyDeleteYurts rule! I once had dinner in an awesome yurt in Park City, UT, complete with an evening sleigh ride up the mountain! A perfect end to a day of skiing, snowshoeing or whatever snowy activity you fancy. Check it out: http://www.thevikingyurt.com/
ReplyDeleteI stayed in a yurt outside College Park, Maryland with my teammates once! It was a great time :)
ReplyDeleteNothing too exotic or anything, but still fun!
Wow, that looks so fun to stay in!
ReplyDeletei never heard of yurts until yesterday and now they're popping up all over - what a perfect compromise for campers and non-campers alike!

ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing vaca for kiddos. This would be a great way to dip our toes in, last year we rented a country house in Twillight, the country is a great get away from the city.
ReplyDeleteYES !! I love yurts. There is a wonderful state park in Cape Cod, MA that has yurts. It is a great park with lakes and bike trails and right across the street from an ocean beach. It is a great way to "camp". I loved seeing this on your site.
ReplyDeleteYurts are so great. I have peeked in online at this destination before! I love to hear that it's as cool in person as it seemed. This sounds crazy, but I would love to have one on our property for an office/guest quarter. :) Maybe.

ReplyDeleteI've stayed here before- treebones- it was so magical. they have a human-sized birds nest you can lounge in and watch the water and the sunset. amazing to say the least.
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law lives in a yurt full-time in Asheville, NC and sends the most beautiful photos through of the roof (which is covered in clear contractor's plastic) and capture the changing seasons, starry nights, and enchanting light of dusk. What an incredible way to live or vacation!
ReplyDeleteCan't say no to luxury camping; we write about yurts and tent bungalows in Sunset: http://www.sunset.com/travel/sylvia-beach-hotel-00400000015154/
ReplyDeleteCool! I've never stayed in a yurt, but the town I grew up in in coastal Maine had more than its fair share of aging hippies and had a small community of yurts in the woods! People lived in them full-time, year-round, through the Maine winter. I visited one and it was cool, save for the obvious difficulty of decorating a round home. :-)
ReplyDeletehey there.
ReplyDeletei live in a yurt.
we've modified it to be more cosy (ie. more insulation, poured adobe floors, solid windows, woodstove), but it's still a big tent.
one of the yurt companies is located in my town in western colorado.
I spent 15 nights in a yurt during my yoga teacher training course. Amazing. I really would like in one (or a cluster of them).
ReplyDeleteMy fiance has been telling me that he wants to stay in a yurt on our honeymoon...looking at your pics makes me more open to the idea!
ReplyDelete♥ Shia
too funny, we stayed in that exact yurt in big sur, it was amazing!pic 4 and 5.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an adventure I'd love to try! So cool-I'll have to go there someday! Thanks for posting on such a cool destination!
ReplyDeleteI got married in Big Sur! It is a magical place. We now bring our son (almost 3) camping to Pfieffer Big Sur camp ground every summer. We would like to spend an anniversary at one of the inn`s one of these years. I highly recommend taking the drive on Highway 1 up the coast from San Luis Obispo to Carmel/Big Sur.
ReplyDeleteThat's really funny because our friends are going to Big Sur in April and they said they are staying in a yurt! I wonder if it's the same one!?
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! My husband an I are taking a little road trip in two weeks from las Vegas to San Fran with plans to drive and camp along the coast! Pretty sure we'll try to stay in a light house and the "human nest" along the way now thanks to your tips. Thanks so much!! I can't wait!
ReplyDeletewe have "glamping" in jackson hole!
ReplyDeletexo the egg out west.
Awe man!!! For my husbands b-day I was debating whether to gift him a trip to Big Sur or to Napa, we've been to neither before but I knew he was a fan of Northern Cali, wanted to see some redwoods and go on some adventures. I ended up choosing Napa, and now after seeing this post I'm kind of wishing I had gone Big Sur!! Ahhh well...next time!! It looks so cool though. So romantic and rustic! I am not a serious camper, so this would be right up my alley :)

ReplyDeleteDid you see this? :)
I laughed out loud when I say this post- we stayed in a yurt in the far, far northwest of China, where yurts are a common form of shelter. It was so extremely basic, dark & freezing and so far from the beautiful images you show here.
ReplyDeleteMy family has stayed in yurts on the Oregon coast for years now. It's a great way to feel like you are roughing it, without actually have to rough it.
ReplyDeleteMy very best friends picked up 3 years ago and moved from the east coast city we all lived in to an organic farm in Eugene, OR. And they moved straight into a yurt. :) I'd love to visit someday.
ReplyDeletetogetherinadream.blogspot.com
My high school english professor had his class build and take apart a yurt every year in the woods on campus. Very cool experience.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I stayed in a yurt in Big Sur on our honeymoon a couple of years ago. It was awesome.
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend LIVED in a yurt in Idaho in the dead of winter. He said it was one of the greatest experiences he's ever had. They would keep a wood fire burning all night and shovel themselves out of it in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteBea-u-ti-ful!!
ReplyDeleteWhile I haven't stayed in a yurt, I have stayed in a tent bungalow at Costanoa (in Pescadero, CA) and they are amazing!
ReplyDeleteNo we haven't stayed in one yet, but we are planning it for this summer. So excited.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have been dreaming a yurt getaway a few years now.. I've been on this Big Sur yurt website before but never pulled the trigger. When the weather is nice enough, it's way better to go camping in Big Sur. Check out Windsong Yurt in Point Reyes. It's another a great option!
ReplyDeleteI live in Oregon and we yurt "camp" all the time. The State Parks have campgrounds with yurts for $16/night. I also stayed in a yurt for my honeymoon on Orcas Island at Doe Bay Resort. It was amazing!!
ReplyDeleteyurts are TOTALLY fabulous - we live in Vancouver, WA and go camping in yurts all the time with our kids. i wouldn't call it "camping" really, with lots of space and a HEATER too! they're terrific for camping with kids and also booked solid - we reserved one a month ago to go in August! they're super popular and i highly recommend them!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a blast.

I am so not an outdoorsy type gal, but I think I could get into the whole yurt thing.
ReplyDeleteHey! 1. I LOVE this posting. I'm obsessed with outdoors, traveling, and camping. 2. I read your blog everyday! and 3. I saw you biking today at the corner of Broadway and Prince! It made me so happy to see you in real life. Made me realize you're a real person. And you also looked very cute :)
ReplyDeleteI stayed in a teepee (tipi?!) with my boyfriend last year, and there were yurts on the same campsite, it was great! In the UK it's called glamping, as in glamorous camping, where you don't have to put up a tent, get wet or worry about sleeping on the ground in sleeping bags! The yurts even had solar panels on the roof so you could have electricity if you needed it, although candles are more romantic! Xxx
ReplyDelete...so nice! beautiful place!!
ReplyDeleteHere is my fantasy yurt:

we did a yurt in mongolia--part of the trans-siberian railroad trip. so amazing, so beautiful, so before i had a toddler and a newborn :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks amazing. It really makes me want to go off on a trip somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThere's a fbulous yurt at Juniper Moon Farm.
ReplyDeleteWww.fiberfarm.com in Palmyra VA. Wake up with sheep peeking in your window!
Until today I had never heard of Yurts and even though I am definitely not the type to leap at the joy of sleeping outdoors, but those photos do put a little pep in my step.
ReplyDeletewww.toteachandtolearn.blogspot.com
Looks beautiful! Never have stayed in a yurt, but I'm now adding it to my 'travel fantasy' list as well!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I are staying in a Safari Tent in Marfa, TX next week! :)
ReplyDeleteJoanna, I lived in Mongolia for a few months, and in the countryside there, everyone lives in yurts (called gers in Mongolian). They were a wonderful place to stay. But your sister's vacation yurt looks a lot more luxurious!
ReplyDeleteBig Sur is one of my all time favorite places to visit....and btw, it's amazing to be there when pregnant. Most of the hotels have all organic shampoos, etc bc they are so eco-conscious. We've always wanted to stay in the yurts but I think they don't allow kids...true? So, sort of doesn't work for us. If you ever go to Big Sur you MUST go to the Big Sur Bakery!!!! It's so delicious I can't stand it! They're a full restaurant.
ReplyDeleteLove your post! I wish I could live in a Yurt..
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful! I'm not much of a camper...but this could be a lovely compromise for my camper boyfriend and I. Will definitely try yurt-ing!
ReplyDeletei've had two friends stay at treebones and they both highly, highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteMy aunt and uncle have a yurt in their back yard in Austin, and I loooove it. It's like a mini house! And it's round! Super cute.

The hubby and I honeymooned last summer in Big Sur. It was amazing! If I had to summarize our trip in two words: magical. fairyland. We can't wait to go back!
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I use to sneak out to a Yurt when we were camp counselors to get a break from everything!
ReplyDeletehow fun, i grew up near big sure and now i can't wait go to back and stay in one of these!
ReplyDeleteWe lived in a yurt one summer in Maine! My husband built it with his family, it was pretty great (a lot smaller though, it fit on top of the volvo all folded up). I loved living in it - it's a fun space, and all the wooden parts in ours are painted BRIGHT orange!
ReplyDeleteI recognize Treebones!! The campsites are a good way to go, too, and cheaper. Still include all the perks like the big porches, pool, restaurant. Did you know there are belgian waffles included in the AM?
ReplyDeleteBig Sur is life-affirming.
:)
We spent New Year's Eve in a Yurt in the Uintah mountains in Utah. It was wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLots of people live in yurts around my town...they go from super simple to pretty pimped-out. My recommendation is to not sleep in one during windy, rainy nights, though. Crazy loud in there!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! My girlfriend has lived in a yurt for many years in Kauai and she loves it!
ReplyDeleteNot quite yurts, but I love "Surfari" tents in Australia. They're a cross between cabins and tents, and we stay at an amazing location on the north-east coast of Australia. It's amazing to sleep in a real bed while listening to raindrops on the canvas roof!
ReplyDeleteBig Sur is breathtaking. My husband and I traveled along the Californian coast a few years ago and we absolutely loved it. Nepenthe Restaurant and Big Sur Bakery were an awesome treat after a day of hiking!
ReplyDeleteWe had looked at Treebones but unfortunately, it was a little out of budget - we ended up staying in a little inn in Carmel instead (charming little town). Maybe one day we will go back for the yurts!
Beautiful! xx
ReplyDeleteI love it! My husband and I dream of owning our own yurt one day. It's our second home fantasy. The simple living associated with yurt living greatly appeals to me. Someday...
ReplyDeletei haven't slept in one, but my mum got a weekend visit to one from my dad for a 'romantic' getaway, last year. she loved it! i think it's best for outdoorsy types, at least up in canada (too cold otherwise! haha)...these shots you've posted look nothing like the shots of what my parents visited!
ReplyDeleteLove the yurts! And boy do they look cozy or what!?!
ReplyDeleteThey remind me of some temporary do-it-yourself housing in this book

I think you'd really enjoy it if you haven't already seen it Joanna : )
I've been to Treebones! Yurt #15. It was such an incredible, calm, and unique vacation. My fiance and I stayed for three nights, hiked the local trails, and dined on the DYI waffles and oatmeal every morning and their sushi bar at night. Pure bliss.
ReplyDeletebig sur IS incredible. I'm from just south of there and I can't wait to move home!
ReplyDeleteI'm form Spain and am planning to visit California during my honey moon this September. I'm definitely going to include two nightss in a Yurt in Big California! We want to have a travel with both, cities and nature, so we think California is the perfect destination. What do you think? We were thinking about visiting Yosemite, Grand Canyon, San Franscisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and spending some days just relaxing on the beach... Are there any places that you'd specially recommend? I'll appreciate any suggestions!
ReplyDeletei've been dreaming of staying in a yurt ever since my neighbour moved out to live in one... thanks for the beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images! These have become a huge trend for wedding celebrations in my native Devon and are a romantic treat from wedding nights...
ReplyDeleteI'd love to pack up an old VW and head off to holiday in one of these on day!
my husband dreams about this vacation. it does seem like the perfect alternative to camping and could be quite romatic. xo
ReplyDeleteMy friends LIVE year-round in a yurt (pictures here!) and it's the coziest little house you ever did see. They sleep in a loft that is built over the little kitchen area in the middle of the yurt. Pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteBig Sur is breathtaking. I camped there the summer after I graduated from college with my best friend. I went to visit her in SF and we went up to her parents' house in Sonoma county and then we drove all the way down from sonoma to Los Angeles. Along the way we stopped every where including Big Sur. It was so long ago and I honestly can't wait to do the trip again. We did the whole thing in about 4 days and then I stayed with my cousin for a while in Laguna Beach and continued the drive into Mexico and then back up to Las Vegas before coming back home. A fantastic trip. Next time a Yurt sounds like SO much fun. I'm not much into camping anymore so it would be fantastic!
ReplyDeletevery dreamy :)
ReplyDeletehttp://raindropsandrosez.blogspot.com/
lovely friends of mine have set up yurts in Sierra Bermeja Mountain range. Truly amazing place to stay, all the reviews I notice call it 'glamping' not just regular old camping, it's those glamourous yurts!
ReplyDeletewww.cloudhouse.es
I've stayed there--it was wonderful! Next time I want to stay in the 'birds nest' but the yurts were super
ReplyDeleteI was just looking for a nice place to stay on our way up to SF next week...so I was so happy finding your post. But now I had to learn that this place doesnt welcome babies! No kids at all below 6ys of age!!!!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't recommend this to anyone anymore!
My husband is an anthropologist; I think he'd LIVE in a yurt if I'd just agree. I have this theory on camping:
ReplyDeleteI've notice that "campers" tend to be people who are heavy packers. I'm an extremely light packer. I once packed one carry-on for three people {including an infant using cloth diapers} for a two week vacation. Camping takes so very much stuff it makes me feel ... stifled and overwhelmed. It's for heavy packers; spas are for light packers.
from the picture i feel that it is so relaxing to stay, and the place is really good for vacation.
ReplyDeleteJoanna,
ReplyDeleteWe noticed you enjoyed the photograph from our night in a yurt at Treebones Resort in Big Sur.
Thanks for the link, and we highly recommend it.
I had a friend in college who lived in a yurt a few miles from our campus. She really loved it. I'm not sure I can make it home, but I would love to try a vacation!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and i are talking about moving into a yurt! They're so beautiful and simple. Plus, I can't think of a better way to spend the next couple years before we start a family!
ReplyDeleteOh my, I've been obsessing over the idea of going to Big Sur for the past two weeks, and now you post this. I think it's meant to be.
ReplyDeleteCome to Oregon!
ReplyDeletehttp://web.thedailycourier.com/zachsadventures/stories/adventure.html?h=yurt
We stayed in one for Christmas, there was an easy hike to a botanical garden that was all lit up with lights. It was an amazing sunset, huge waves and lots of sea lions!
My dear friends (a family of four) live in a yurt. They have a loft, a kitchen, bathroom, and a wood-burning stove to keep everything cozy. It's lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've stayed at Tree Bones (the resort in Big Sur you metioned) and it is awesome! It's great for both couples and families since they have such a great land set up which gives pretty much everyone their own space with an amazing view and scenery. I really can't say enough about the place. This past Thanksgiving was an unusual one where it was just myself and my mother and her boyfriend. I decided to try something unconventional for the holiday and book a stay at TreeBones and it turned out to be one of the most relaxing and wonderful family times I've had in a long time, not to mention Thanksgiving Day meal was completely prepared by the resort! Everything was organic and made perfectly. As I said, I cannot say enough about the place. If you're ever in CA in Big Sur, I would highly recommend it.
ReplyDeleteSo nice, Beautiful places are presented.
ReplyDeleteThe photos presents beautiful sceneries. And this is a great work to capture this lovely places.
ReplyDeleteI have never been, but my all-time hotel dream is the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur. The suite and house options include a treehouse! Every detail is breathtaking, and the website alone is beautiful: www.postranchinn.com/.
ReplyDeleteawesome destination for enjoying vacations...
