treebones yurt cabins in big sur

Yardsale Dan just sent me an email. He and his gf were traipsing up and down the big sur coastline over the three-day weekend and he saw this place and thought of me. I love yurts! I love Big Sur! Hence, this is my new idyllic place to stay in Big Sur.

Okay, okay, so in all reality, Ventana and Post Ranch are still my epitome of Big Sur Dreamtime, but the yurts might be more in my budget. :)

I have been trying to plan a getaway to Tree Bones for about 2 months now.

maybe once this "flickr" job dies down, I'll be able to make it down there.

oh wait...will it *ever* die down ? :)

Am I the only one out here who sees what's going on? That's obviously an alien spacecraft, and of course it would land around Big Sur. I've seen the crew! Look here

I gotta admit, this one is really neat. I wouldn't mind that for the summer.

Yurts rock. This past weekend, I watched one being put together at a SCA tournament.

I lived in a ger for a week once and was astonished at how comfortable and practical it was. I suspect being set up overlooking the ocean at Big Sur would improve on the experience considerably.

Very serene.

i think there's some guy out here that teaches advanced yoga in a yurt - i think it's called "yogurt".

Had no idea what a yurt was 'till I saw this photo. Now I want one. :) Beautiful shot.

Wow -- step away from Flickr for a few hours and everyone is hanging out in the yurt, sipping beer and swapping coastal yoga (i mean yogurt) stories.

I'm sensing a Yurt Resurgence. A yurtsurgence. The wave of the future: circular tent housing.

Perhaps now that Flickr is Cali based we can have the Mother of All Meet Ups in the Sur. We can circle the Yurts up like the Covered Wagons of yore. Bosque'll make the campfire.

No -- Shepherd will make the campfire. Bosque'll bang the drum. :) JB'll lead the yogurt and Lianne will be the first student. Chad'll show us how to build the yurts. Kimmers will pull out the trusty flute and lead the fireants away like the Pied Piper. Dr. H will be flashing morse code messages to the space crafts with a pocket mirror. Bean will yodel. Greg will spin campfire stories. Deroesh will take glorious interior shots of the yurt, focusing on the fabulous sky light. Saffanna will breathe in deep, relaxing breaths. Nan'll bring extra clothes cuz she'll be staying all summer. Fishlamp'll be bringing even more cuz he's moving in! Pamela will introduce us all to Unica (best pooch in the world). Kannach will speak what he will claim to be English, but his Scottish brogue will be so thick we'll just smile politely and pour him more beer.

And Jspaw -- we will all cross our fingers for him that things will mellow out and he'll get a weekend away from our favorite company in the entire world.

Okay, that was stretching. But thanks everyone for the great comments.

And do think about the Mother of All Meet Ups.... It'd be fun. :)

Shepherd says:

emdot says:

Sheppy -- you live in the opposite direction. I bet Bodhi'll pick you up on the way out, tho. :)

REALJimBob says:

wow... I didn't even know what a yurt was until I saw this. The do look purty though, can I come to?
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

emdot says:

JimBob -- you can come. We need someone to man the binocs, watching for whales. :)
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

Linus Gelber says:

Whales? In Montana?

This whole comment thread is just too cool for words... fun!

No one wondered how hard it is to buy furniture for these places.

emdot says:

Tunnel -- Montana was the other ocean pic.

Big Al -- I did!

Tunnel is to bring the GPS. Dusted will be sent to Willow Creek to rustle up some stone pipes. Fishlamp can make dinner. And Al's got first dibs on the porch rocker.

Linus Gelber says:

You know, if we can fit a trapeze in there I know a girl who -- uh, never mind.

GPS says second to the right and straight on til morning.

lotusutol says:

lol! what fun you're conjuring up m.... Big Sur, yurt, ger... didn't know these words existed!

/me writes them down in mental library for future 'Upwords' challenges.

Tiggywinkle says:

I knew a guy in the SCA who had a yurt. It wasn't nearly as cool as this one, but it was pretty cool. Great for hanging out in with good friends as night turned into early morning. :)

Mostly you furnish them with furs and big pillows and other soft stuff, with the occasional chest or low table so you have somewhere stable to put your goblet or tankard down. Pass the beer, I'm in!
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

emdot says:

Lotusutol will keep the all important Treebones journal. Tiggy will lounge on the pillows and swill bourbon. And/or beer.

Big Al Davies [deleted] says:

But circular Wardrobes?
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

emdot says:

did i not mention? we're all naked?

okay. not really.

wardrobes/closets... your mind is very thorough al. i'm guessing there is some wasted curve space behind the straight-backed armoirs.
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

Big Al Davies [deleted] says:

Why do I picture a Steffe pic of all the collage squad naked in a room with circular furniture. How do you sit in the corner in here to sulk?
Posted 54 months ago. ( permalink )

emdot says:

sulking not allowed al. but drinking is. tigg'll share the booze.

I just stayed at Treebones last week - it was wonderful - it feels like camping, only with a Queen sized bed and plenty of space for your head...

chadmiller says:

Naked?! Somebody better bring mosquito repellent.
Posted 50 months ago. ( permalink )

emdot says:

floresita -- very cool. did you take photos? are they in your stream? Quick! everyone! out of the yurt and straight to foresita's stream. :)

chad, i heard skin-so-soft by avon is the gold standard.

floresita says:

Hi emdot, why as a matter of fact I did take pictures. Here's the sunset I saw just outside of my yurt:

And here are some beautiful mountains just a little down the road:

Not too shabby!

Now THAT is the kind of shelter a backpacker like me would love to find at the end of the trail. If somehow I could bring one half-way up Salmon Creek this year I'd never leave.......

I didn't know they had yurts in Big Sur. Thanks for letting me know! My fiance and I stayed in a yurt a few weeks ago on Vancouver Island and it was amazing.
