What a special and unique place, it really deserves its high rating. The cabin is up in the tranquil hills on a private property, surrounded by lush green. It is the perfect getaway to recharge. Clean with everything you could need. The bed is a loft bed with a beautiful dome glass view. The shower had awesome pressure and the compost toilet was intimidating at first, but simple to use, and did not smell. It is the perfect fit for 2 people, for 3 it is doable but a squeeze.
Kitty is a wonderful host (we only saw Michael briefly.) She is helpful, warm, engaging and a great storyteller! Loved the dogs and cats on the property they are also very friendly. Her response times are lightning fast!
We only spent evenings in the dome as there was so much so see, eat and hike nearby! I recommend Nisene Park, The Buddhist Retreat Center, Capitola Beach and Aptos BBQ. It was relaxing to come home after a long hike to our cute little dome, take a hot shower and cuddle up to a dvd classic (supplied by Kitty's library.)
The hummingbirds were the most magical part of our stay, don't miss this if you are lucky to get a reservation!
