    Breakfast

    Where do I start? The food? The organic garden? The views? The wildlife? If you're looking for a place to have a huge party, fly a drone around, play obnoxious music, get drunk and/or act like a toddler, and bring your kids along, this is NOT the place for you. Go up the road to plaskett or Kirk and have your fun there. This is an older teen/ adults only, basically couples retreat for people to relax. You are thoroughly vetted before being confirmed for registration and the people who work here/own treebones are incredibly kind and go out of their way in accommodating people, HOWEVER if you want to come here and start problems no one will tolerate bad behavior, especially the other guests. I could go on and on about what a great time I had a treebones. Good vegan options. Had a pizza and a salad and a sardineless toast for the three course meal plus dessert. Better than all of the meals I've had in L.A. Im not kidding. Worth the price. Breakfast was yummy chia seed pudding and granola which was included free for registered guests. I'm glad they sell sleeping bags because I wasn't expecting it to be so cold and windy at night. Bring warm gear, even in summer. You are on the coast. I know it's an operation in the middle of literally nowhere so I commend them on the set up they have. That being said, I find the yurts a tad over priced but that's a personal opinion. Tent camping is key for me. So many amenities and flushing toilets/hot shower for only $130/night. Super! What a gem! (Check the website for multiple accommodation offers. Also, the prices can vary slightly depending on peak season, call for info.) I have tons of photos and am limited to 20 here. If anyone needs additional information let me know. We saw whales, and could hear seals all night. The local bobcat meowed by my tent the first night here. There is also an unnecessarily large spider around the lodge living its best life at night. This place is unbelievably beautiful, immaculately clean, and you are one with wildlife. No bears here. no raccoons that I saw even though there's a note in the campsite to keep food secure. I kept my food in a big plastic tote box with a heavy object on top all night with no problem. You don't really need to bring food though. Treebones has delicious options. I didn't try the sushi but lots of guests said it was the best sushi they've ever had (most of them from L.A. and that's really saying something since us angelenos really love our sushi....) It's a lot of courses of raw fish. GF. No vegan or vegetarian option for sushi. Notes: if you're coming from Los Angeles, the 154 has a major construction project going and is doing alternating one way traffic. delays are immense. Stay on the 101. Nearest electric car charging is only available in Gorda about ten minutes south. I saw a few teslas around Treebones. So plan well. I strongly recommend getting gas in Morro Bay before heading into the canyons if you're coming up from the South. Also, Apple Maps allows you to download offline maps. Do not enter the 1 past morro bay without this or a paper map. There is no cell phone service for miles. Be on the lookout in San Simeon for Elk, zebra (check out Hearst Castle for why zebra), cows, whales, seals and more. I recommend a trip to Piedras Blancas and the many beaches in Big Sur. Places I wouldn't recommend: Ragged Point. Expired food items in an old convenience store and nothing else to do. Tourist trap. Sad looking faces everywhere. It's too bad. Time didn't do this place well. Be mindful that treebones is off the 1, so you can hear traffic at all times *however* due to the road closure further north there's not much traffic and it is very peaceful. There is one ADA accessible yurt by the main lodge but the rest of the grounds are mostly dirt road with protruding rock. Ask about ADA accommodations. Please give treebones a try, but don't take all the campsite reservations because I'm coming back in April for whale season. LOL.

    It is hard to put into pictures and words how peaceful and quietly beautiful this place is, but in just a few days it turned into one of my favorite places in the world. From the minute we parked to the minute we left we had a wonderful experience and truly did not want to leave. From hearing the ocean and the seals from our room, to the very photogenic sunsets and sunrises, to the unspoken agreement among guests to keep the environment quiet and tranquil I can't think of a better place to find peace. We stayed in the Cove tiny house which was decked out with everything we could want. We had our own coffee machine, a fridge stocked with milk for the coffee, a very clean bathroom with a Dyson hairdryer, an outdoor soaking tub, fire pit, outdoor table and chairs, a very comfy bed, heater, even a towel warmer and our own WIFI. Even without these things though, the view and the sounds of the ocean would have been worth the stay here. We had dinner at both onsite restaurants while there and were so happy we did. The chefs are so talented and we were served some of the freshest seafood we had ever tasted at both wild coast and the lodge. Every single thing we ate was noteworthy. Both restaurants were cozy and comfortable and the service and wine were perfect. The fireplace in the lodge was the icing on the cake for breakfast and dinner. The owners of Treebones obviously invest in doing things right from the creature comforts in the rooms, to the talented and friendly employees and it pays off. The location is incredible but the experience as a whole is even better and I cannot wait to go back.

    Our stay at Treebones was easily the highlight of our Big Sur/Monterey Trip! First time ever staying here, and in a Yurt for that matter, and it will defintely will not be the last. Stunning ocean, sunset and sunrise views to just relax and take in, as well as beautiful grounds to just walk around and explore. The weather can shift quite quickly, so you'll want to be prepared for some cooler weather, especially when the fog rolls in. The thick fog banks just add some mystery and additional welcome atmosphere to the stay. The Yurt was spacious and very comfortable and there was also a heater for the cooler nights. Our Yurt was located right by the pool and the main lodge which was super convenient for any nighttime bathroom trips. Speaking of the bathrooms and shower area, these were always very clean and well maintained. The Lodge was an awesome place to hang out and meet the other guests during breakfast (free with stay) and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee as well as simple but enjoyable breakfast fare. HIGHLY recommend making reservations and staying for dinner!! The food was absolutely amazing and any foodie would also appreciate the menu being offered. One might not expect such gourmet meals in this type of location, however, it was so good we ate there every evening...fantastic wine selection too!! Located to multiple hiking trails that are just a short drive away and the sunsets will just make you keep wanting to come back. Truly a magnigicant experience and the staff are also amazing and make you feel very welcome.

    I can only speak from my experience with the restaurant. I stopped by while camping at Plasket Creek campground just for dinner, the sign on the street stated the times for lunch and dinner service. I was a little surprised at first that the dinner offered was a four course meal. I figured I would go for it at $98 for myself, the server told me I wouldn't be disappointed. The food was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have been happier with my experience! Not only was the food and service great, the seating, ambiance and views were to die for! Can't wait for my next visit to the area!

    The most luxurious yurt you'll ever sleep in. The lodge is gorgeous and the food is exceptional. The staff next level. I could spend the entire day on the campus entertained by the pool, yoga, food and fellow visitors. Tons of beautiful trails off the highway and 45 min from Cambria. I yearn for my next Treebones visit!

    Nothing short of amazing! Treebones staff sure know how to make one feel welcome from our arrival to our departure. It was great time to relax, great eats and the views!!!

    Lunch bento box. Pre-order by 9pm for next day pick up at 1pm. Feeds 2 hungry ppl for sure.

    I've stayed at Treebones twice now (just this past week for several days with my wife and solo last month). Both times I fully appreciated the great and friendly service, the curated offerings in the store (food/drink), and the high high high level of quality in both restaurants on site. I brought my wife this past weekend for an early anniversary trip because I wanted her to enjoy the experience, the food, the ambiance and- of course- the views. We dined at each on-site restaurant each night and We were NOT disappointed! The sushi we had at Wild Coast in particular is probably the best I've ever had (sorry Japan-I loved your sushi too, buuuut..) Thank you Treebone team !

    TLDR: Best place to disconnect and recover! Treebones is a resort tucked away just far enough away from the hustle of the bay area and close enough to drive down without any hassle. The lack of mobile network and limited Wi-Fi availability forces one to disconnect and enjoy the experience they offer. One of the most beautiful sunset I have ever experienced. Their rustic glamping experience is an complete offering with the tents having all the amenities of an modern hotel including couch and coffee tables. They have a small hot tub and a heated pool with yoga classes being offered on certain mornings. Appreciate the staff and all their contributions to maintain the offering! Highly recommended!

    Perfect for a very expensive weekend off the grid- it is California prices you pay for but oh man it's worth it. The service there is so great everyone was friendly and it is clean and worth it. There are bathrooms located by the front office which is also the only place for wifi. You can walk the whole property and there is the garden to see. The restaurant is good for dinner and they serve breakfast which was very good. They have a little store in the front office for wine, goodies and other stuff also. I stayed in yurt 14 and they tell you it can be loud from the pool area but it was perfect and no one disturbed us plus we got the front parking spot so no complaints here from check in to check out!

    The rusticity of camping meets gourmet cuisine and elegance. This eco resort was amazing. I did not want to leave. The views were phenomenal. The food was delectable. The atmosphere is serene. The staff is accommodating and pleasant. I would live here if I could!

    Treehouse at Treebones Resort, April 2022
    Krista M.

    Bucket list item, check. I finally pulled the trigger and booked a stay at Treebones Resort. It was a long time coming and so very well worth the wait...and price tag. Treebones Resort is an incredible eco friendly glamping destination in Big Sur, California. The resort is home to some very unique accommodations: several yurts with ocean views, a treehouse, an autonomous tent, a twig hut, and a human nest. Some camping spots are also available on the property. I was lucky enough to book the Treehouse for two evenings (Friday and Saturday; note there is a two night minimum). We arrived later in the evening on Friday and was greeted by Dan who helped us check in. He told us all about parking, breakfast, showers, yoga, pool hours, etc. We parked and hopped on a golf cart driven by Corey who took us and our luggage to our magically cozy accommodation. Corey was so nice and told us all about the resort, including many different plants we passed by on the way. Upon making it to the Treehouse, we were floored. It is so amazing and to think it was actually built by Peter Nelson. Amazing! The other unique wood structures (twig hut and human nest) were built by Jayson Fan. The treehouse has the best swinging bridge that must be crossed in order to enter the house, complete with queen bed, propane fireplace (heater), sink with running water, table with chairs, etc. There is even electricity!!! After several photos of our humble abode, we returned to the lodge to have some wine and enjoy Wood-Fire Fridays. Most days the lodge has a prix-fixe three course menu, albeit Friday is not one of those days. I will leave a separate review for the food - I was able to dine at The Lodge Restaurant for dinner as well as Wild Coast Sushi for the Omakase experience (OMG, drool). Although, I will speak to the breakfast as that is complimentary for overnight guests. Let's just say breakfast was not my favorite and could really be improved as soon as possible. I hope to someday return to stay in a yurt. Until then, I will remember my time at Treebones Resort fondly - from the treehouse to dinner to coffee/tea, phenomenal views, tranquility throughout, yoga, and even the lovely garden and bunnies abound. Very thankful I was able to finally experience Treebones Resort - a family owned, five star, environmentally friendly, premiere glamping destination.

    Beautiful views and very peaceful! Yurt was nice and very comfy and the staff was really friendly and helpful greeting us with a complimentary glass of wine. Highly recommend the 4 course dinner at the lodge - perfect way to wind down before sunset.

    Hidden along Highway 1 is Treebones Resort. There are a few accommodation options to choose from depending on your budget and what you're looking for. Camping, yurts, autonomous tents, and twig/nest structures are available. You are exposed to the elements since you're right on the coast. My tent was soaked in the morning from the moisture in the air...not the worst thing to experience. The seals were vocal at night, it was an awesome vibe. The best part of this resort is that the bathroom/shower was clean and not overly crowded. There's also a pool and hot tub...my new mandatory need when camping. It was so wonderful to warm in the hot tub up after a long hike. There are a ton of great hikes. Another perk is the great food on-site. There's no need to eat flavorless dried food in a pouch on this trip. Wild Coast Restaurant and Sushi Bar offer great food with a fantastic view. Breakfast is included with your overnight stay. There's a crust less quiche, fruit, coffee, juice, chia seed pudding (vegan), yogurt cups, and the best granola I've had in a long time. I can't wait to go back!

    My husband and I will be staying in the Twig Hut in May. Is there a BBQ at the hut for guest use? How far is it from restroom facilities? Also, what type of weather is typical in May? I'm SO excited!!

    I didn't see a bbq grill. Fires are not permitted. May is a nice time of year. The chance of rain is low. Restrooms and showers are less than a five minute walk. They are close to the check-in/restaurant/pool area.

    I read somewhere children under 7yrs old are not allowed is that true? What are the age restrictions?

    New policy is no one under 13 is allowed

    Are children allowed?

    Yes, some yurts are equipped for families.

    Can someone post a photo of the granola?

    Yes it's true children are asked to be over the age of 7 . This is because the yurts are not soundproof , younger children , toddlers and babies can't possibly maintain the type of quiet and serenity the resort in known for.

    Is the resort let friendly?

    I'm assuming you mean "pet", and no, pets are no allowed.

High praise for a salad. High praise, full stop. Special shout out to our server Yasmany and bartender Thomas -- both exceptional. What struck me most was how effortless the entire staff made it look. These are people who deal with guests from around the world, all arriving with high expectations of a high-end experience.

We were offered two menu options-one a pre-fixe for $85. App, main, dessert. A really excellent choice given the choices of fresh seafood or meat options and beautiful salad options. Additionally they offered à la carte with similar options but just different enough to entice. Several folks opted for a CA salad and then had the fish of the day put on top --I went for a special burger with a home made brioche bun , amazing fries and a Caesar salad. Haven't had a burger like that in ages. I have menu pics and interior exterior pics displaying options. Easier than me playing Stanley Tucci... I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful and professional the service is at Sierra Mar. Apologies to our server ( lovely young lady with long dark hair and a smile that says, "what can I do for you?" Whose name we did not get---she and the gentleman who helped with the wine were outstanding.

Now however, though it is still beautiful, it has become disappointing. 1. There is loud construction & traffic late into the night and early mornings. 2. Many staff were nice but too many were not, the last ones helping us and bringing our car at the end did not even say anything, just disappeared without anyone saying a simple goodbye or thanks for visiting. 3. Multiple/many rooms have very loud equipment you can hear from inside the rooms: large heating/air conditioning units and pool and spa heaters, pumps. We did ask to have a quiet room but were moved to a noisy one by the pool. We had to wait till the next day, then had to move rooms. No compensation. The second room we got however was nice. 4. Service Inconsistency: We checked before booking that we could have a mother-daughter spa get-away and were told we could but once there, were turned away rudely by Destynee. A mix-up is one thing but she was very rude: actually interrupted, talked over us raising her eyebrows and treating us like we lied. I felt awful, my daughter just wanted to leave and we both felt very uncomfortable: AND their sign posted by the spa states under 18 can use it with supervision (the website states nothing about age exclusions). My daughter is almost 17. 5. It is nice they ask if you're celebrating something special. We were but received a plate of dried fruit & a couple macarons with a lovely note but addressed to another guest for the wrong occasion, saying "Happy Birthday." 6. Peace & quiet, relaxation? We had specified a quiet room. There were multiple large equipment units buzzing loudly for heating/cooling rooms and one right below our balcony for the pool. Leaf blowers woke us early around 8 9 am around the pool which itself isn't quiet later with kids playing (though they are adorable). 7. Added fees on top of the usual such as $70 resort fee, $30 nightly parking fee (it's remote so you need a car) add $100/night which we were surprised by. Overall we left and though my daughter was a good sport and we always love our time together at Bernardus, we sadly have the memories above. Management moved us after a day but were not available the rest of the time and never returned my call. The rudeness of the spa staff was the most unfortunate part. Though the loudness, traffic, significant extra fees, service mistakes or lack of etc.. just make me wonder if this is the right place anymore, especially given so many other options.

Parking was always free but now they charge $30 a night whether you use valet or self parking in their outdoor lot. Since it's so far off the beaten track you need to bring your car. That's an instant add on of $100 a night. The added parking fee and increased resort fee convinced me not to return a 4th time. On a positive note, the setting is beautiful and relaxing. The gardens are beautiful and fun to walk around. There are 3 pools, a full service spa on site and each room has lovely amenities like fresh fruit, beverages cheese and crackers. All rooms have fireplaces and outdoor patios or balconies. I tried their restaurant several times and have not been overly impressed. My experience has been that they keep their food rather bland. I recommend going into town for fine dining and many choices. You can borrow a Mercedes Benz convertible for a 2 hour drive in the area. That's a lot of fun. While there are many positives, I now prefer to stay in the town of Carmel. Preferably with an ocean view room.

One detail I especially loved was the heated bathroom floors--such a cozy surprise and something I'm definitely not used to! The entire cabin was spotless and beautifully maintained. I'm very particular about cleanliness in hotels so I brought my mattress vacuum cleaner to inspect--the bed and pillows were not dusty, which gave me a peace of mind. Overall, our stay was perfectly the way I want to remember this trip. If I had stayed somewhere else, I don't think I would have had a great of an experience in Big Sur. Ambience and the aesthetics of the property grounds is important to me and it checked off all the boxes. April turned out to be the perfect time to visit: sunny, peaceful, and more affordable than peak season. I loved everything about this stay and we're already planning to come back. Recommendations: the pillows are goose down so it doesn't work for neck support. Bring a pillow you like from home if you have neck issues. Also, in Little Sur, your bed is underneath a window. Turn the blinds upwards so you don't wake up to the light in your eyes:)

    Beautiful hotel. You get your own cozy little room depending on what you book. Hotel was very…read moreclean, which to me is the first and most important thing. Smelled good, sheets and bathroom were all spotless. It's very quiet, the ambiance is super romantic and relaxed. Rooms are quite pricey, but so is everything else around there. Staff were friendly. They also let you walk around some of the property in the back which is very nice.

    Beautiful property and relaxing environment. We did multiple complimentary activities like…read moreforaging, honey tasting, and the coast ridge hike. The activities are a good way to enjoy the nature and spend time outside of relaxing at the pool or at the room. The room we booked had complimentary firewood bags so that was very nice to set a fire in the fireplace every night. All inclusive hotel amenities like complimentary meals are so convenient and makes the experience stress free. Reservations are required for dinner so be mindful to make them beforehand. The brunch menu was expansive and provided a variety of options for breakfast and lunch. The falafel Benedict was really salty so I don't recommend that one. The dinner menu is not that large so you can finish out the menu in 4 nights. The steak of the day was fantastic, fish of the day also superb with branzino one of the nights. The ahi tuna was bland in my opinion compared to the preparation of the fish of the day. The lobster risotto was very generous with lobster.

    My daughter and I stayed at Alila for 2 nights. We had our room upgraded…read more The room was very comfortable. The fridge was stocked with snacks and drinks. There was a Nespresso coffee machine and hot water pot for tea. The room was maintained well. Turndown service replaced used towels and included pillow gifts. The towels were soft and absorbent. The bed was comfortable. The fireplace included bags with wood for easy starting. It was quiet and the scent was soothing. We took the foragers cocktail activity. Karen was very energetic and cute. We started muddling strawberries then mixed them with bitters and shook up a cocktail. We then took our drinks into the garden and Karen told us which plants were what. After we collected some herbs we went back and made our own bitters. They suggested some combinations. We chose nettles, orange peel and vanilla bean. We both had deep tissue massages. They were done in a cabana overlooking the hills. It was peaceful and relaxing. We ate our dinners and breakfasts at the restruant Sur.
