That looks like a wonderfully peaceful spot on a day we wish we could conjure whenever desired. In fact, the comment applies to both of the preceding images.

Well yes, at a private lodge in Pretoria, these places tend to have that ambience that we all covet> Was there for my friends 50th.

I spy a large building. This was a grand manor house in Ireland, so naturally it was owned by an Englishman as it dates from the time when, effectively, the Irish were not allowed to own such houses.

Yes, that is our family farm which is a very nice place to go when you want to get away (as long as you can ignore the flat tire on the tractor, the gutters that need cleaning, the several thousand sprouts that have come up since the last visit, and all of the honey do projects)

Yellowstone has hotels ( but not the modern conveniences in them ) cabins and camping areas for tents, trailers and RVs

with regulations on how to use, store and cook food

this company handles all " lodging " in the National Park

https://www.yellowstonenationalparklodges.com/stay/

you usually have to book a year in advance



We have stayed in the hotels and cabins

of course, you can " lodge " outside the park and drive in

I spy tourist accommodations - Wilderness Lodge @ Disney World, from the back with "Copper Creek Falls," the flow for which originates inside the lobby, and also flows into swimming pools as it is the filtered water from those pools.


FYI: Several of the the national parks and monuments have accommodations called "lodges" or "inns" (at historical locations) that are really wonderful places to stay, designed to fit into the environment. The El Tovar right on the edge of the Grand Canyon, is one of the most famous.
