Treebones Resort
spot cool stuff TRAVEL
You like camping but your partner does not. California’s Treebones Resort offers the perfect romantic getaway for you both. Accommodations at the Treebones are in yurts, large circular tents originally the domain of Central Asian nomads and made of sheepskin. A stay at the Treebones, though, would make even the most properous Central Asian nomad envious. The yurts there include large comfortable beds of the sort you’d expect to find at a three-star hotel, sinks with running water and private porches with stunning views of the Pacific. And these yurts do not smell of sheepskin. They also don’t have en-suite restrooms — you have to go up to the main building when nature calls — adding to the “camping” aspect of your stay. Our only complains are with the included buffet breakfast (mostly of waffles and cheap muffins) and the “Treebones” name (there might be no place more gorgeous with an uglier moniker). Prices vary greatly with the season and day of the week. Book early and ask for the especially scenic and secluded yurt #16.
