Would you enjoy spending a month of solitude in a beautiful natural setting? Food and shelter would be provided but you would not see another person.

I would be fine as long as I was the one to pick the beautiful natural setting.
This would be fine

This not so much!

On one of my trips to Canada I stayed alone on a fly-in fishing lake in far northern Manitoba for six days by myself and I hated to see the trip end so staying a month would be great.
I had a lake and a small cabin all to myself, the cabin was stocked with canned goods and the pilot gave me a few loaves of bread and meat before he took off, a hole dug in the ground was my refrigerator, my drinking water came straight out of the lake, no indoor plumbing, no electric or generator just old school coal oil lanterns, a two burner propane stove for cooking, a wood burning pot belly stove for heat, two 14' alum. boats with 15 hp motors (one was a spare in case of a breakdown), two drums of gas to pull boat motor fuel from, a 45-70 lever rifle and ammo was provided for protection if needed and I was also given a satellite phone for emergencies.
Every morning I'd wake up to the sound of loons on the lake, I saw moose and bears on two occasions and it seemed like eagles were everywhere.
As far as I was concerned I was in hog heaven and I'd go back and do it again for a month alone in a heartbeat.
My cabin was smaller and considerably more rustic than this but you get the idea.

Count me in.....luv my solitude and serenity being one with nature, not that its always part of my agenda but I try to fit it in whenever I can in small doses 
Done it
But not catered
Jerked meat as a main course can get old
After a spell, one changes a bit
It's not necessarily good to be alone for too long

Yes I could do it easily as long as I had the internet. I've done it many times already for a week or 2..so I'm sure I could do it for a month!! Without any contact at all..a week would be my max...

If I had a well-stocked library and a bunch of movies to watch, heck yes!
For 14 years I lived a 130 mile round trip to the nearest electricity or store, now I did have about 6 people living within a 50 sq mile circle of my cabin but basically I definitely could go for as long as I wanted without interacting with another soul.... and it was magnificent.
here is a photo of my cabin one night when the "lights" we out!
