Fodor's Review:

Perched on a hilltop, surrounded by national forest and stunning, unobstructed ocean views, this yurt resort opened in 2004. The yurts here—circular structures of heavy-duty fabric, on individual platforms with decks—are designed for upscale camping. Each has one or two queen beds with patchwork quilts, wicker furniture, and pine floors. Electricity and hot and cold running water come to you, but you have to walk to squeaky-clean bathhouse and restroom facilities. The sunny main lodge, where breakfast and dinner (not included) are served, has a big fireplace, games, and a well-stocked sundries and gift shop. Younger children have difficulty on the steep paths between buildings. Pros: 360-degree views, spacious pool area, comfortable beds. Cons: Steep paths, no private bathrooms, more than a mile from the nearest store.

  • Hotel Details: 16 yurts, 5 campsites
  • In-hotel: restaurant, pool, laundry facilities, spa, Internet terminal, some pets allowed.
  • Rate includes: Continental breakfast
