Mongolian-style yurts found at Big Sur
In Mongolia, you might not think anything about staying in a yurt. But how about at Big Sur?
The Treebones Resort in Big Sur, California, has 16 tent-like yurts and all of them are a lot more luxuriously equipped than their Mongolian counterparts, according to travel guru Peter Greenberg.
Some of them have an ocean view and all of them have queen-sized beds, electric lighting, a heater and hot and cold running water.
They even have something real nomads who first used yurts might normally go without: polished wooden floorboards. There is also a heated pool and a hot tub as well as a lodge building for dining.
There are also two things visitors might not all like: there is no cell phone access and you can’t drive right up to the yurts so visitors should pack light enough that they can carry everything they want.
If the yurts are booked out and visitors have a tent, there are also five campsites available for hire.
On weekends or through the April to October peak season, there’s a minimum booking of two nights.
A full ocean view yurt for two people is $155 to $175 per night. The later price is for a partial ocean view.
Some of the yurts can fit from four to six guests and start at $245 a night for four people.
