Overall Ratings & Reviews Masood's Lodge

This is an amazing place to stay with family. The river is a super nice spot! We just loved the place and definitely will be back soon!

The shower was very scary, it was dark and the knob for the hot water was extremely hot when in use. For a three night stay, my family only showered once. There were cobwebs in the bedroom corners and the kitchen had a lot of old grease splatters on the wall.

This was a cute camping trip and everyone was so friendly. We’ve had a couple safety concerns about the lodge itself. A coded padlock was the only access inside, the code should not be easily guessed as this was. The door frame was broken allowing access to outside critters inside (we blocked it during our stay) and we assumed that a “welcome” plank was placed in a very unusual spot in the ceiling to cover up a hole of some kind. But, we had a quiet, peaceful stay. With a small walk, we found a creek with ducks swimming around. My daughter enjoyed this lodge.

Beautiful spot on the river, with access. Easy walk to downtown. The owner was very nice and available. My only "complaint" is that the shower was a little small

Room was clean. Only positive. Parking was atrocious, water pressure in sink and shower almost non existent, no hot water in sink, half of the lights did not work and you have to shower almost completely in the dark. Speaking of shower, the provided shampoo and conditioner were bottles similar to suave like they were bought at Walmart, just sitting in the bottom of the shower. Extremely unsanitary. Who knows what the previous person left in/on them. The tv had multiple remotes and was a pain in the ass to use.

We just needed the room for a night. That wasn’t enough. The room was so beautiful and we really wish we had occasion to stay longer. We will plan another visit and stay longer, absolutely.

Beautiful relaxation by the stream!

Super cute room, the location is beautiful. the owner was extremely nice and goes out of his way for guest. Bed was comfy. The coffee was excellent The top sheet had sap or something sticky. The fridge was a bit dirty.

It was so peaceful and quiet

This place is beautiful. I’ve stayed here several times and every time it’s a great experience. The owner is very kind and supported to your schedule and needs. I will definitely keep coming to this beautiful place

Relaxing cabin for us, 2 adults, one teen and a 6 yr old. We enjoyed the view of the creek, and seeing the redwoods outside. As others have mentioned, it is rustic…not luxury, and that is what we were looking for. Full kitchen, but we only used microwave to heat food. Queen bed was comfortable, though pillows were thin. I’d recommend bringing your own, as well as towels if you like your own fluffy thick ones. The first night we arrived (Fri) property wasn’t full, and we parked easily. It became full by Sat evening, and we had to be extra careful maneuvering in/out of our spot. Sewer line smell happened for about 45 min Sun morning, but went away. I figure it’s part of having cabins/RVs in a semi-rural area. Masood is very friendly, easy to checkin and checkout. Will come back.

Always a nice place to stay

Masood's Lodge is far from a lodge. More like a motel, it offered little comfort. The constant barking from a nearby dog made sleep impossible. The overall atmosphere was far from relaxing. While it might serve as a basic stopover, it's definitely not a holiday destination. We were eager to leave even though we paid and could not get a refund, and find a more suitable accommodation.

We had a great time. The cottage was clean and cozy. We had a great view of the creek from our patio. The staff was friendly and helpful.

A great, quiet place to spend two nights over July 4 with my wife and dog. We walked to restaurants for dinner. The room was clean and appliances looked new and in great condition.

This love is rustic and unique. My 82 year old mother wanted to go to a cabin in the woods and hear a stream. I wanted to go to the beach and have fun. This was the best of both worlds! She LOVED the cabin and the deck and the sound of the stream. She was like a teenager video’ing and sending to the family. We both LOVED Masood. Cannot wait to go back. It’s a beautiful and peaceful place within a 30 minute drive to the beaches and bustle of Santa Cruz. Rustic rocks!

The rooms were old style cabins. They were comfortable and pleasant.

The hotel staff was very friendly and the facilities were great, but I was very surprised that homeless people around me opened the door and tried to enter at night, and it was difficult to stay for three days in a place without a special safety lock. I think it will become a good hotel if the door locks are changed to a safer method.

Sadly the scent of cleaning agents were so pungent, yet cobwebs, dust, mold, used tissues under the bed and what appeared to be unlaundered blankets remained. Lovely location and owners but could use a deep cleaning

Masood is always friendly when we go for our stay. The rooms are very clean
