Come discover why we are rated as the number 1 listing on airbnb.com. Shaded by Oak and Madrone trees and next to a Redwood grove, enjoy the great outdoors on the large deck or by taking a hike in the woods. (We have multiple acres next to land without fences.)
(Please read all of this description before making a reservation. If you want to stay here on Presidents Day weekend, please make a reservation for Feb. 17th to the 20th.)
The cozy and clean semi-rustic cabin has a loft under a geodesic dome (the "mushroom cap") with a double bed, which is a cotton futon with 1" of latex foam and 21/2" gel memory foam on top. (It is now softer for you folks who like a soft cushiony bed.) We provide clean sheets and pillow cases: you can chose either smooth cotton sheets or cotton flannel. Plenty of blankets are also provided.
In the loft, we have a 22" LCD Screen with a DVD player (no TV) for movies. (We have some movies you can view as well.)
We also recently added an air filter which ionizes and cleans the air.
On the main floor (a Pentagon) is a couch that doubles as a narrow futon (which could sleep a third person for an extra $10.), as well as a mini kitchenette. Here you will find a double hotplate, small refrigerator, toaster oven, blender, toaster, French Coffee press, - even a mixer- and all the dishes and equipment you would need to prepare a snack or a meal. We have 2 tables where you can enjoy meals, games, etc.: 1 inside and 1 outside on the large deck that faces the redwoods. We now have new barbecue grill on the deck. We also provide Organic Coffee, teas, Oatmeal, raisins, spices, oil and vinegar and various snacks and filtered well water.
The cute bathroom has a Travertine shower, custom tiled sink and flushing toilet. We provide towels, soap, a hair blow-dryer, etc. (a word of caution: the bathroom has a low ceiling. If you are over 6' you may have to do a little ducking here and there.)
As Saturdays are very much in demand, (and we like to be free on Saturdays), we require a minimum 2 day stay on the weekends. Keep in mind that Friday and Saturday nights are $100. each. Therefore, to stay here on the weekend will cost $200. plus the $30. cleaning fee plus 10% that airbnb will charge you ($23.). So the total will be $253. To stay for 2 days mid-week costs a grand total of $220. On 3 day holidays, we require a 3 day reservation.
Although it feels very isolated here, we are less than 10 minutes to Aptos Village where you will find stores, restaurants, a theater, a health food store, Safeway, etc.
We are centrally located on the Monterey Bay: 10 minutes from the beach (Rio Del Mar and Seacliff State Beach) as well as 10,000 acre Nisene Marks State Park for miles of hiking or dirt biking in the Redwoods and along Aptos creek. We are 20 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz, 25 min. to the Beach Boardwalk, 45 minutes to Monterey and the world-famous Monterey Aquarium, 50 min. to Carmel and 1 1/2 hours to Big Sur going south and San Francisco to the North. Yup, we are located in one of the most beautiful areas of California.
If you love hummingbirds, bring your camera. Our garden is the year-round home to many Anna Hummingbirds. (We have about 60 - 80 year-round.) During the summer, we are also called home by many Rufus Hummers as well. So you have got to see our "Hummingbird Airport"!
Please, no smoking in the cabin or on the property. We used to let smokers stay here, but they stink up the cabin.
Some cell phones don't work here, but if you need to make local calls, you can use our home phone. You can get Verizon service on the swinging seat by the driveway. We do have free wifi in the cabin.

You are invited, if you feel you would be harmonious here, to come join us on our developing Permaculture farm. Pet the goats and enjoy the very fresh air. We will give you some goat milk if you would like to try it.
Tired of the heat? Since we are on the edge of the "fog belt", it can be both sunny and cool here. If you want a noisy place, you won't like it here: most of the sound here comes from the birds chirping and the breeze blowing through the trees. People do live on the land here though, so don't expect it to be totally devoid of human sounds and the occasional saw. : )
