I really enjoyed my short stay. Boulder Creek, as well as all the towns along Hwy 9, are still very much like they were 40 years ago when I lived in the area. Steve's place has a nice, shady beach by the river that made an ideal spot to sit and read all afternoon. The cottage was set up nicely for visitors although I wish it wasn't quite so close to the highway. TV and WIFI worked great and the host was available without violating my privacy.
