I can't say enough good things about staying at the Mushroom cabin and being Kitty and Michael's guests. The cabin is very well designed and comfortable. It has more than you think would fit in a small space because of all the thought and planning that Kitty put into it. It is not only functional but also very cute. The cabin has a very convenient kitchenette, with basic appliances, dishes, popcorn, coffee, and spices. The place also has a nice toilet and a shower with warm water. By the bed there is a nice television with a huge selection of DVD's. The ceiling and windows are also beautiful. When you're in the bed looking out the ceiling windows, you feel you are in the trees.The large porch adds lots of space because you can sit, read, and barbeque outside while admiring the beautiful stand of redwoods nearby.

We had the opportunity to chat with Kitty a few times and she is a lovely and interesting person. She and Michael are welcoming and warm, but they also give you privacy. Kitty was kind enough to show us her hummingbird feeding area and we were so amazed by the beautiful birds that filled her porch. I've never seen so many gorgeous hummingbirds flying around in one place. She also brought us fresh goat milk from their three goats and it was absolutely delicious.

If you are thinking about spending any time in Santa Cruz or Aptos I highly recommend staying here. There is a lot to do in the area, and if you want to just hang out at the cabin you won't be disappointed. We were planning on getting out and doing more in the area, but we loved the cabin so much we ended up staying in more than expected.

Book here if you can! It is in high demand and with good reason.
