I'm so glad I reserved the Mushroom Dome 10 months in advance. It is an unique experience worth planning ahead for. The place itself is adorable and cozy. Kitty and Michael are both friendly and kind. The additional thoughtful touches they added to the place showed that they value environmental sustainability and are dedicated to their community, which we appreciated a lot.
We had breakfast each day on the deck, spent some time exploring the small trails on the property, and made the easy drives to Santa Cruz, Capitola (a cute and tiny beach town next to Santa Cruz), and Nisene State Park (for the 6-mile Buddha loop hike), all in our 3-day, 2-night stay.
Thanks you Kitty and Michael!
