Dome in Aptos

LAND of Paradise Suite & Mushroom Dome Retreat

Previously known as the Mushroom Dome Cabin, we have been listing the LAND of Paradise Suite & the Mushroom Dome Retreat with airbnb since July '09 and have had the most reservations of any of their listings. There is a reason we are so popular: the cabin is near a Redwood Grove, and at night, there is hardly any sound here - maybe crickets. It is a Paradise here: a great place to unwind & restore.
