Tiny Mushroom Dome Cabin in Aptos

Author: Alex | Related Categories: Dome Homes, Tiny Cabins, Tiny Houses | Related Topics: , , , | View Comments

This beautiful, peaceful, rustic mushroom-shaped cabin in the Aptos in Santa Cruz, California looks like a dream.  It’s shaded by Oak and Madrone trees and right next to a Redwood grove.  The best part of all… You can rent a few nights in it for a relaxing get-away.

There is a large deck outside to enjoy the natural view plus there are multiple acres to hike around in.  The cabin’s loft is under a geodesic dome with a double sized bed.

On the main floor there’s a futon, kitchenette with hotplates, a small refrigerator, toaster, blender, and coffee machine.  There are two tables for meals and games–one inside and one on the deck outside which you can see in the pictures below.

There is a gorgeous little bathroom with shower, nice tile, sink, and regular toilet.

Less than 10 minutes away is Aptos Village where there are stores, a theater, restaurants, and grocery stores.  The beach is about ten minutes away.  San Francisco is an hour and a half away.

It’s about $85 per night with a one-time $20 cleaning fee.

    Hey Arlos,

    We all would love to check out the making of your tree house if you are able to share. Sounds like a wonderful place to live. Are you building it close to the creek?

    I would absolutely love to share the process of designing and building this. We have over 1/4 acre That is back by a creek and about 1 mile to the ocean. This was the former site of the CLaus Spreckles Polo Field. A horse barn used to set on our property and a few of the boards can still be found among the redwoods. The grove in particular that I'm considering building in is a ring of about 35 ft in diameter which means the tree that spawned these was about 35' is diameter and harvested right after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake like much of the old growth forests in northern california.
    I'll start photographing this to document the process which is going to go hand in hand with being key speaker at a green expo in Santa Cruz, Ca this sept on the future of sanitation. a subject that always has it's challenges in a tree house.

    What a great little gem to find in my own backyard!!! That reminds me i have a treehouse in the making with the same idea in mind. I've never bothered to count how many redwoods we have by the creek on our property but it sure makes a perfect place here in the redwoods and minutes to the beach in Aptos.
