Hiding in the treetops of Aptos, California is one of the most sought-after Airbnbs in the world. The Mushroom Dome Cabin has been on the site since 2009 and it's had the most reservations of any other Airbnb listing!
It's easy to see why this charming cabin is so popular for travelers in Santa Cruz County. Surrounded by treetops and located in an isolated area of the forest, the setting is like something out of a fantasy.
Of course, the strangeness of the cabin itself just adds to the whimsical setting. The cabin itself is really shaped like a mushroom, with a domed ceiling and all. You can tell just by looking at it that your time here is bound to be special.
The unique cabin can accommodate up to three guests. It consists of one bedroom, two beds, and one bathroom. It's definitely small, but the large windows and geodesic design work to make it feel perfectly cozy and inviting.
Outside of the dome, guests have access to a lovely deck complete with a sitting area and grill. It's the perfect spot to sit and soak up the sights and sounds of the surrounding forest.
When you're not hanging out in The Mushroom, you can spend your time exploring the gorgeous 10-acre property. Home to a hummingbird habitat and hiking trails, this is the type of spot where you can fully immerse yourself in nature's beauty.
