Congratulations. You have found the IDEAL place to stay in California.

Words will not do this incredible, magical and life -changing experience justice. The reality is even more beautiful and awe-inspiring than the pictures. Stop at Aptos and get some tri-tip from Aptos BBQ to go, grab some wine and sit out among the towering redwoods and bask in the light of your fantastic decision to stay here.

The mushroom cabin itself is comfortable, roomy, clean and cosy. You have everything you need there (with thoughtful extras provided by Kitty and Michael). Watching the hummingbirds is breathtaking.

Kitty and Michael made us feel so welcome in this amazing retreat. Kitty also recommended some fantastic things to do nearby, such as a magnificent whale-watching tour at Moss Landing.

Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer.
