Kitty’s Mushroom House was a memorable and lovely get-away for us (me, my husband, and our small dachshund)! Nestled in the hills of Aptos, Kitty’s small community included goats, chickens, cats and dogs, and HUMMINGBIRDS! Lots of hummingbirds, literally hundreds! They were delightful to watch!
And the Mushroom House, surrounded by serene redwoods, was also a delight. It is a domed domicile, very charming and comfortable, as long as you are able to climb a ladder to sleep in the loft (or one person can sleep on the futon on the main floor).
The house is small but well designed (the story behind it is fascinating!) and the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with coffee and tea and condiments and other goodies in the fridge (plus local Martinelli’s cider!). On the deck (with twinkling lights) is a barbecue grill, as well.
Kitty is a wonderful host and went out of her way to make all three us feel especially welcome (including gifting our very aged dachshund fresh goat’s milk and healing gemstones, along with many loving pats). She is a lovely person.
It is only a relatively short drive to town (Aptos Street BBQ is wonderful as is Norma Jean’s coffee) if you can tear yourself away from Kitty’s!
