The Autonomous Tent® Collection

Big Sur, CA

The Autonomous Tent® at Treebones Resort became an instant success and was sold out almost every night up to a year in advance. After a couple of years, we discussed the option to add a second tent using our latest design. There were pros and cons that needed to be carefully thought through. We had created a magical experience with our first tent and we didn’t want to ruin it. After months of discussion, we decided it was worth the risk and added a second tent to create the first Autonomous Tent® Collection.

The units are powered by their own dedicated solar array – guests are truly autonomous and experience posh upscale “off grid tenting” in one of Big Sur’s most luxurious and private locations. Both North and South units have their own private outdoor living space with ocean views.

The translucent tent fabric stretches across a beautifully curved wood frame providing an infusion of natural light during the day and emitting a magical warm glow at night.

Indoor living space is 600+ sq ft (55 m2) and features modern and clean amenities, environmental bamboo flooring, and a soaring 12’ (3.6 m) ceiling.

The main lounging area provides refuge and comfort with soft leather chairs and sofa, overhead fan, and warmly appointed eco sensitive lighting. The en suite bathroom offers a fully tiled walk in shower, separate vanity & toilet area, with a vessel sink and lighted mirror. There is also a small refrigerator, luggage racks, and plenty of hanging space.

The outdoor deck is over 300 sq ft (27 m2) with private fire pit and Adirondack chairs ~ all set to watch those golden sunsets “perched lightly on the edge.”
