Resort at Paws Up
Montana's Resort at Paws Up factors refinement into rusticity
Treebones
Nearly every large campsite in California's legendary Big Sur area sports at least one yurt, usually a vestige of its hippie days and showing its age. Treebones, however, keeps its yurts stylish, comfortable, and up-to-date. They sleep two to four guests and are furnished with queen beds, chairs or sofas, and soft quilts and linens. French doors open onto redwood decks, most overlooking the ocean. If camping in a classed-up yurt seems too tame, opt for a stay in the “human nest,” a jaw-dropping, thatched, open-air structure created by local artist Jayson Fann that fits two. Dinners in the main lodge incorporate fruits and vegetables grown on-site. Treebones even offers a Work & Stay program for those wishing to tend and harvest the gardens. Guests can also dine al fresco on the lodge's deck, where cocktails are served alongside fine views. The staff can easily arrange hiking, birding, ocean kayaking, and whale-watching tours. A massage therapist is on call for in-yurt spa treatments. For maximum privacy, request yurt No. 15 or 16. www.treebonesresort.com
