Masood's Lodge - Boulder Creek, California

Kazem Ghouchani

If you plan to visit Henry Cowell redwoods State Park or the Big Basin, consider staying at this magical space with its extraordinary host, the one and only Masood Khan! The room look really well maintained and the amenities are really good. The place itself is surrounded by some old redwood. You get access to the Creek and a chance to swim with the ducks! It was an ideal stay. We originally stayed one night where we had to extend to two nights because why not when YOLO. This spot is going to be my go to whenever I'm in those mountains. Thank you for hosting us!

Awesome location. Reasonable price. Rustic but overall quite nice room. The grounds are a bit trailer parkish, but rustic, and the redwoods were very beautiful! I would have given it a four star rating, MAYBE a five star rating, but my wife was REPULSED by one of the beds smelling heavily of vomit or ?!!!
I have no sense of smell, and my wife did not report it to the host, so I do not know if the host would have been responsive or what he could have done about it.
I found the place quite charming.

Spiders everywhere! I mean, literally crawling on the ground and covering the ceiling above the bed and toilet. I didn’t sleep and instead drank caffeine all night while watching my dogs like a hawk so no spiders crawled on them. I didn’t dare use the shower as the bathroom was just unclean and unapproachable. Poison oak all around the river which is a shame since it’s quite beautiful. Nice quiet lot and peaceful town, however not worth the discomfort.

Masood's Lodge is far from a lodge. More like a motel, it offered little comfort. The constant barking from a nearby dog made sleep impossible. The overall atmosphere was far from relaxing. While it might serve as a basic stopover, it's definitely not a holiday destination. We were eager to leave and find a more suitable accommodation.

Super kind, responsive ownership. Clean and cute cabins that can potentially sleep 5. Dog friendly. The river right next to it is beautiful. You can walk to a nice restaurant in under 90 seconds and to a nice grocery store and gas station in under three minutes. The cabin was very clean with nice furniture.

This isn't so much a complaint as it is a suggestion: the showers are very dark and can be a challenge for people that don't have the best vision. Perhaps a battery powered LED light installed in the shower would help

This place is absolutely disgusting.

We were greeted with being informed that the room we had booked was “the wrong one” and “they couldn’t change the picture” on the booking site and they promptly showed us to our RV.

We had no issue with this, tiny homes are something we’re looking to invest in and this seemed like a nice look into what staying in one would be like.

There are multiple cobwebs in the bathroom, we were given 2 old unfolded towels for a group of 4, and the worst part. MUSHROOMS.

I cannot stress this enough. There is a LIVING mushroom GROWING FROM THE CARPET. There were mushrooms underneath the dining areas seats. My party and I were stupid and got confused as to which couch we needed to take apart. We were greeted by a huge, healthy mushroom under the seat. It also filled the room with an odor after we put the seat back together.

It is also generally dirty with food wrappers and half eaten snack under the easily movable furniture. Everything else was manageable I guess because we’re in the redwoods, however the mushroom IN THE RV completely shook us to our core. We will be sleeping in the car.

This is more than a four, to me, pretty close to a 5. The cabin that I stayed in was facing the creek and it was clean, comfortable enough to me, others felt cold...plus it has a bidet with the toilet. Only this future would increase it to above 5. Even though the bidet does not warm the water we had a functional bidet!!!! Had to celebrate my bday and the bidet, the creek and the nice host who walked us until our cabin.
It is what one would expect of a cabin in the woods but also in walking distance to town and a bidet. It was clean and the kitchen had a microwave, air fryer, stove, oven, refrigerator...the TV was modern and plenty of space for even six people to sleep.
Rustic, I slept with the noise of the creek, had breakfast on the porch looking at the creek, surrounded by redwoods...just what I wanted! Grateful to my "kid" and son in law who know me better than anyone and brought me here. Thanks to the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains and forest and so many redwoods embracing us.

We stayed in a cabin for a week. We really enjoyed our stay! The cabin was adorable, clean, and had everything we needed (refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker). There was plenty of room for 3 adults, an 8 yr old and an infant. I loved the sound of the river right outside the door. The owner was so sweet! We will be back again!
