00:33Let's start our journey on the majestic cliffs of California's Big Sur,
00:37where the Pacific Ocean crashes against ancient rocks and redwoods sway in the breeze.
00:43Welcome to Tree Bones Resort.
00:45What sets Tree Bones apart is its blend of rugged wilderness and cozy comfort.
00:50Here you'll stay in canvas yurts perched above dramatic ocean views.
00:54The experience feels off-grid, but never isolated.
00:58Solar power lights your evenings, and the sounds of nature are constant companions.
01:03The lodge's heart lies in its commitment to sustainability,
01:06from recycled rainwater systems to an on-site organic garden,
01:10where much of your food is grown and harvested just steps from the kitchen.
01:15Travelers return again and again for those garden-to-table meals,
01:19served against unforgettable sunsets.
01:21A word to the wise, these yurts are in high demand,
01:25so booking early is essential for the best views.
01:28And don't forget a warm layer.
01:30The ocean air is as invigorating as it is chilly, especially in the mornings.
01:34From the dramatic Pacific coast, let's journey into the heart of America's forests,
01:39where getaway cabins are tucked away in secreted pockets of woodlands across the country.
01:44Whether you find yourself in the rolling hills of New York,
01:47the peaceful Georgia pines, or the misty landscapes of the Pacific Northwest,

01:58Here, there are no televisions, no Wi-Fi, and no noisy distractions.
02:03Just you, nature, and the quiet space to unplug.
02:06Floor-to-ceiling windows frame serene woodland scenes and invite you to rise with the sun
02:12and fall asleep to a chorus of crickets.
02:15Each cabin is equipped with everything you need—fresh linens, a simple kitchenette,
02:20and outdoor fire pits for starry nights and s'more-making.
02:24These tiny sanctuaries are perfect for journaling, reflecting, or even kick-starting your creativity.
02:30You'll be amazed at how much inspiration the trees can offer.
02:35If you're feeling overwhelmed or burned out, getaway cabins are your ticket to a true digital detox.
02:40Finally, we head south to the wide-open skies of Texas Hill Country,
02:45where you'll find Blisswood Bed and Breakfast Ranch.
02:48This working ranch offers a different kind of eco-lodge experience, centered on the rhythms of the land.
02:55Picture rustic cabins and cottages nestled among ancient oaks and wildflower meadows.
03:00Each with its own private perch for sunset watching and wildlife spotting.
03:05Blisswood is all about connection.
03:08Connection to nature, to animals, and to the slower pace of rural life.
