Jonesing for an eco-friendly foray into nature, but not quite outdoorsy enough for a rough-and-tumble camping trip? You might find your happy medium at the Safariland Treehouse Resort, or The Paws Up Resort.
Safariland Treehouse Resort — Masinagudi, Tamil Nadu, India
- The resort’s 6 eco-friendly cottages, which are build from local materials and bamboo, run from $250-$400 a night.
- Situated near a renowned game-reserve, you’re likely to spot roaming elephants (especially if you visit right after monsoon season). For a guaranteed wildlife encounter, just visit the nearby elephant rehabilitation center and nursery.
- An Indian breakfast, lunch and dinner are served onsite.
- Additional amenities: analog phone line, kid-friendly, complimentary newspaper, 20+ capacity conference room, laundry service, room service, multi-lingual staff, non-smoking rooms
The Paws Up Resort — Greenough, Montana, United States
- Their all-inclusive family “glamping” package costs $2,413 a night. What’s a comfy hassle-free night under the stars worth to you?
- Paws Up elaborates; “Tent City is an award-winning canvas community featuring six cavernous luxury tents nestled right on our Montana ranch property at the foot of towering pines among spectacular natural boulders.” A lovely concept, but unfortunately named, considering the recent associations people have with the term “Tent cities”.
- Greenough, however, is a perfectly awesome city name! I read it as, “Green-Enough”: the perfect balance between posh amenities and natural immersion. Well played, Montana naming committee of yore.
- More “glamping” amenities: “Charming solar lighted paths will take you to the bathhouse where you’ll have your own private master bathroom featuring heated floors, Montana-sized shower and vanity, and organic spa products allowing you the opportunity to freshen up before or after your day of adventure in pure Paws Up luxury.”
- Plus, “All tents feature The Last Best Bed®, fine linens, art on the walls and, yes, electricity.” Score.
