My husband and I were in Aptos for a wedding, and thought the Kitty and Michael's Mushroom Dome would be an interesting place to check out.

Unique it was, and not only that, but we also got the best sleep we've had in months despite the pouring rain. The dome is perfectly cozy, comfortable, and just remote enough to feel like you're out camping in the woods, yet close enough to town to quickly get a Starbucks (or local coffee) fix if you need.

Also, if you like cycling, they have a long driveway that makes for a killer climb :)
