Falling Waters
BRYSON CITY, NORTH CAROLINA
It's
hard to beat the price of the canvas yurts at this mountain resort
adjacent to the Nantahala Gorge, a white-water rafting and hiking mecca
in western North Carolina. WCs are communal, but each of the eight units
features a queen-size bed, a ceiling fan, a stereo, a coffeemaker, and
French doors that open onto a deck. You also get a barbecue grill and a
hammock perfectly poised for napping under the trees. ($89.10 per night,
for up to four — there's a bonus futon; fallingwatersresort.com)
Luana Spa Retreat
HANA, HAWAII
With
its gorgeous views and authentic island charm, this cozy yurt may be
the best value on Maui. In addition to a comfy double bed topped with a
Hawaiian quilt, there's a small kitchen, propane grill, private
bathhouse with outdoor shower, and breezy thatched hut where massages
can be scheduled. ($150 per double; luanaspa.com)
Fossil Rim
GLEN ROSE, TEXAS
Bring
your binoculars! Shaded by live oaks, the seven spacious tents at this
1,700-acre nonprofit wildlife preserve overlook a watering hole popular
with waterbuck, antelope, and gazelles. Also, don't miss the
nine-and-a-half-mile driving tour of the facility, where you're likely
to see zebras, giraffes, and rare and endangered animals, including
white rhinos. ($225 per double, full breakfast and driving tour
included; fossilrim.org)
Costanoa
PESCADERO, CALIFORNIA
You
may be sleeping in a tent, but you'd never know it at this eco-resort,
which sits close enough to the Pacific that guests can hear waves
crashing on the beach at night. Each of the 75 canvas bungalows boasts a
bed decked out with a heated mattress pad and down bedding — plus
Wi-Fi, electric lights, fluffy towels and bathrobes, toiletries, and
daily maid service! Bathrooms, alas, must be shared, but they do feature
indoor and outdoor showers, a sauna, heated floors, and an outdoor
fireplace. After you've settled in, take the mile-long path that leads
from the resort to a secluded beach below, or sign up for one of
Costanoa's nature hikes, yoga classes, or massages. To explore further
afield, schedule a kayak excursion, shop the farmers' market in nearby
Santa Cruz, or visit the Pigeon Point Lighthouse. ($95 per double;
