Amazing place for a team of hockey players to relax between games. There was plenty of space and things to do. The Sauna, lodge game room, and BBQ area were all big hits. Thanks for a. Amazing weekend!

Loved my stay at Boulder Creek. I have a small camper and they set me up with a nice spot away from the nearest neighbor. Its a scenic location that has a nice design. The grounds are safe, secure and quiet. There are clean bathrooms with hot showers. Great place which I'll return to next time I pass by...

Had a great stay in one of the cabins, Doug was an amazing host, very welcoming when we arrived and gave us plenty of great recommendations. The games room was great with ping pong , pool and mini football table, the bathrooms were brand new and everything was squeaky clean. Super handy to have a laundry to put a wash on also. The grounds were really nice with lots of trees and next to a creek. Ph...

Highly recommend
