I had a wonderful 3 nights stay at the Mushroom Dome. I was a solo female traveler and felt perfectly safe and at home. It's truly a unique stay and I'm so thankful for the experience. I think there's a bit of magic in the those woods around the dome. The space itself is as described and perfectly adorable and completely functional. It is not fancy, nor should it be. But it was very comfortable and super special. It's also a great location--when you're at the Dome it feels very private and is quite quiet. Yet, you are only a few miles from the town of Aptos and not far from Santa Cruz or the beach. Kitty was a wonderful host and made the experience even more special with a few engaging conversations. I enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend it to any traveler who wants a unique experience.
