Unusual places to stay - Central Coast California

Well I've found the Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo thanks to a few novels - so
glad it's actually a real place - Friends think it is sooo kitsch from the
website.

What other places are there - spending 7 days going from LA to SF, maybe up to
Sonoma before spending last 4 nights in SF. I love kitsch and quaint Inns and
B&Bs. Maybe a night in Solvang?? Pity you can't stay in Hearst Castle - LOL

Going in March/April (from UK)

There is a place where you stay in a yurt (tent), some on cliff overlooking
ocean in Big Sur. Like up scale camping with hardwood floor and full beds.

webpage, looked kinda neat

Thanks for those suggestions. They all look really interesting. I was going to
dismiss the yurt thing out of hand but it actually looks like fun.

If you're going to stay in a yurt, why not do so in Mongolia? The
government sponsors adventure tours staying with Mongolian nomads -- you
even get your own horse to ride.. the country side and mountains are
breath taking. Apologies. I know this is a USA/Canada forum. But the
mention of a yurt brought back some great memories of the Mongolian
steppes and mountains. :-)

Have a look at Solveng, we stayed just outside a few years ago and had a
lovely time in the area.
