Comment on Monterey County’s most unusual accommodations

Monterey County’s most unusual accommodations

Sleeping in a human-size nest made of woven wood is a far cry from a night at a nearby Hyatt. [...] hospitality experts in Monterey County say these days, more visitors are looking off the beaten path for places to stay. Many say the breathtaking views of redwoods, mountains or the open sea, and the chance to step away from iEverything are more appealing than concierge service and free toiletries. (It) makes you learn how to exhale and breathe again, said Rita Wheeler, a staff person at Treebones Resort in Big Sur, where the human nest is located. From the outside, the “adventure tents” at Fernwood Resort look a lot like typical canvas tents, and each has a picnic table and fire pit for late-night s’mores and campfire songs. [...] inside, guests are met with a queen-size bed, linens, bath towels, electricity and heat. Beyond the redwoods and nestled in the hills of nearby Carmel, a guesthouse at Mackillie Farm offers visitors a chance to experience rural life without the commitment of becoming a farmer. The 1,200-square-foot guesthouse has two bedrooms, a kitchenette, outdoor paths throughout the farm’s gardens and a tree house for children. Instead of continental breakfast, guests have access to seasonal fruits and vegetables growing on the property and fresh eggs from the farm’s many chickens. Lunch and dinner served Wednesday through Monday at Wild Coast Restaurant & Sushi Bar.
