are you into perfect luxury? don't stay here. are you into experiencing life like the locals? definitely go here. boulder creek is a "know before you go city". they have fires, landslides, power outages, comm outages, lions tigers, bears, oh my. well maybe not the last two, but definitely lions :)
we came during a crazy storm and had to evacuate. Mimsie was very kind in assisting us and offering days to stay to make up for the lost time. when the internet wasn't up to snuff, she scheduled a person to come out and crank it up (from 1mbs to 90mbs after our first week of five there).
the neighbor is a super cool artist with lots of stories. you are surrounded by redwoods and there is a secret river beach just a block down the street (south).
we'll certainly be back here.
