We spent 2 blissful nights here in the Mushroom Dome. We were welcomed by Kitty and we chatted on the balcony watching the Hummingbirds for a while - which was fascinating and beautiful, especially for city dwellers like us - before being shown to the sanctuary of the dome itself! We were so excited for this particular stay on our 3 week road trip and we weren't disappointed. You are surrounded by nature and the views from bed are so soothing and beautiful. We kind of hibernated in there for the majority of our stay because it was so homely and comfortable. Speaking of comfort, the bed was insanely cosy and we had the best nights sleep anyone could ever wish for. We enjoyed lazy mornings watching a couple of the DVDs that are available with the sun beaming through the redwoods and in through the Dome ceiling. Having the kitchen facility was wonderful and we drank a LOT of complimentary tea - which is something that we had sorely missed during our first week in the states. Kitty went above and beyond in her role as a hostess and even ensured that a parcel that was being delivered to the dome for me on the day of checkout arrived safely. Her help with that was appreciated since we had to leave Aptos that day. ALSO!!!! Super host Elliott the dog was beautiful and so welcoming as well as Milo the cat who took a liking to my partner Simon! Hearing the hens clucking, the rooster crowing and the sounds of the insects and creatures in the woodland was beautiful. We didn't want to check out on our second day and only wish we had booked for longer. Thank you Kitty, Michael, Elliot, Milo, hens, rooster and goats! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
