Our visit up to the Mushroom Dome was indeed, memorable. Kitty is a fantastic host and sure has some interesting stories to share. The Mushroom itself was like it was represented in the online listing, so that was nice. The grounds and surrounding structures were a little more rustic than expected, but added to the adventure of it all. My boyfriend, Chad, and I went on the recommended hike up to the grass hut and climbing tree, which Chad climbed to the top even though it was raining that morning. Because of the weather, we weren't able to grill like originally planned but no biggie. Inside the Mushroom, everything was clean and tidy. The bathroom was well-equipped and large enough for two. When there, we hung out mostly upstairs and watched a movie or two from the DVD collection (They have Sound of Music!!! Chad said no.) We also cuddled on the deck during the night and listened to all the fantastic nature and talked about life. :) The humming birds, chickens, and goats are super cool. The road up to the property is pretty steep and narrow, so be prepared for that. It only took us about 10 min to get down to Aptos to grab some chicken and groceries. Anyway, it was loads of fun and so glad we came. Ask Kitty about the Sasquatch... she knows her stuff.
