Great weekend getaway!!

Had a wonderful time. The cabin was great, and the outside deck was beautiful. We enjoyed our time and wish we could have stayed longer. The nearby hiking was the best I’ve seen since North Carolina. Would love to come back again.

Quiet and Private Location

We loved the secluded feeling of the location of the cabin. It was a short few minute drive to restaurants and hiking trails. The spacious deck was a nice relaxing bonus. The cabin had an updated kitchen and everything we needed. The only negative was the inefficiency and noise of the wall heater downstairs on two chilly days. The upstairs was always much warmer even when no heaters were on anywhere. The bathroom heater was also nice to have. We would certainly stay here again and highly recommend it.

Unbelievable experience!!!

We can’t express how much we enjoyed our stay at Boulder Creek! We had our annualMarch Madness getaway and it exceeded our expectations. The beautiful cabin was so comfortable and cozy. The wildlife of birds, chipmunks, and squirrels that entertained us was heartwarming. The swing and deck provided perfect places to relax! It also felt very private. A very special place. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Retreat and Location

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary, and we were not disappointed. This lovely, warm, and welcoming cabin was everything we hoped for. The beautiful outdoor deck quickly became our favorite spot—perfect for greeting the morning, sharing quiet moments, enjoying meaningful conversations, and grilling some great BBQ.From the deck, we also enjoyed watching squirrels, chipmunks, and birds frolic around. The birds gathered at a well-stocked feeder, while the squirrels kept us entertained with their playful energy. It was peaceful, charming, and added so much to the experience.The cabin itself was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Communication from the owners was excellent, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful care they extended to us as welcomed guests.We highly recommend this special place and are already looking forward to returning!

Perfect in every way for 2 couples. Larry is the best host as well. Lots of wildlife right outside the window. One of my favorites was watching the hummingbird coming to the hummingbird feeder right outside the window as I sat on the living room couch. We will be back for sure!

Cozy, clean, and well equipped cabin; close to town but feels tucked away. Beautiful deck and garden swing where we spotted birds, squirrels & deer. The host could not have been nicer, and even helped advise & locate local vehicle assistance when our car battery died unexpectedly.

Relaxing mountain getaway

We found everything we needed for our 3-night stay in this cozy cottage. The large deck was perfect for relaxing and reading in the sun or shade, constantly serenaded by busy squirrels and birds foraging nearby. It's only a short drive to downtown Idyllwild, where we found a nice restaurant for breakfast (The Red Kettle).
