Hello, teachers.
Are the following sentences acceptable?

1.I'd like to spend my vacation at a place with nature .
2.I'd like to spend my vacation at a place in nature.
3.I'd like to spend my vacation at a place surrounded by nature.

Thank you in advance!

My EFL students have a lot of trouble with the word 'nature' too. Only your #3 is natural. For the others, I suggest, for instance:

1.I'd like to spend my vacation at a place in a natural setting .
2.I'd like to spend my vacation at a place in the wilderness / away from people.
