Earthen home in Aptos

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 251 reviews

Adobe Casita in Aptos Mountain Retreat & Spa

Om Oasis is a beautiful and lush retreat center on several acres of a remote and peaceful 15 acre mountain top property. We host guests who wish to connect with the beauty of nature and experience peace. We are 10-15 minutes up the mountain and partially off-grid with little to no cell reception but with a great WiFi connection. There are a total of 7 guest accommodations (including this one) spread out over our developed 3 acres, making it always a very private experience and easy to distance.

We have easy access to hiking and biking trails, world-class wine-tasting, microbreweries, shops, amazing dining, and more! There is something for everyone in our area! We are surrounded by a 35 acre tree farm, so it's very private, yet close to the silicon valley! Our property has a standby generator so we are not affected by power outages.

Dome in Aptos

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 1884 reviews

Mushroom Dome Retreat & the LAND of Paradise Suite

We have a few days available left in April and quite a few in the beginning of May. We have been listing the Mushroom Dome Retreat and the LAND of Paradise Suite 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. Even when it rains!
