Where to begin? The Mushroom Dome is set back among the hills of Aptos, just a bit south of Santa Cruz. I highly recommend arriving for the first time during daylight, as it can be a bit of a rugged drive to the cabin. Once arrived, Kitty will be there to greet you and give you the lay of the land. Inside, the Mushroom Dome is small, but extremely well designed. Kitty does a great job of explaining all the things you need to know to get the most of your stay there. And, if she asks you if you'd like to go see the hummingbirds, go see the hummingbirds. It is a treat. The area around the Dome is wooded and extremely peaceful. I found it quite relaxing. This is one of the more iconic properties in the Air Bnb portfolio and while it can be a bit of a challenge to get to, though Kitty and Michael provided clearly worded and accurate directions, it is worth the trip.
