Masood's Lodge
For years it was known as the Merrybrook Lodge, a charming collection of cabins just off Big Basin Way near downtown Boulder Creek. Described by visitors as “rustic with beautiful views, clean and comfortable,” proprietor Masood Madani says, “We have the best river view in the area!” Following a shady footpath to the creek’s edge, ferns and maples flutter gently, framing a private natural swimming hole.
There are four rooms in the motor lodge and seven cabins, and all are cozy with knotty pine interiors throughout. The cabins have open-beam ceilings and private decks, and each has its own fireplace. Plus, there are three RVs and one tiny home available for booking. Everything is tucked away in the trees with the sound of the creek babbling nearby.
Most people come from Los Angeles or San Jose, Masood says. “They Uber over, stay for a couple of nights, walk to Scopazzi’s, and Uber back.” Most who stay, Masood says, spend their time close to their cabin enjoying the sounds of the creek. Guests call it “a relaxing mini-retreat under big trees with quiet nights that will really charge your battery.”
Making good use of time during the health crisis, Masood poured his energy into tidying up outside and installing new hardwood floors and refrigerators in each unit. He’s planted fruit-bearing trees like pomegranate and almond. The property is peaceful and Masood is a congenial host.
