Wonderful Stay

My husband and our adult son with special needs very much enjoyed the private surroundings, very clean accommodations and extremely comfortable home. As my husband stated, "This is the best one you have found yet." Well done.

Julian Jewel!

This is a lovely property that starts with a beautiful view from the deck as you approach the entry. It was large with 4 bedrooms that easily fit our family. The wood burning fireplace was so cozy with the cool nights. The location is just out of town but so easy to drive to. It was very comfortable and clean. The owner, Dana, was very accomodating to us and very quick to respond. We had a fantastic time and would stay here again!

Nice accommodations for our trip

We didn’t spend much time at the actual property as we were in Julian for a wedding. I did very much enjoy eating breakfast outside both mornings partaking in the view and sunshine. If we get the chance to visit Julian again I would stay in this house again. It has lots of outdoor seating to be enjoyed in warm weather. It is private but with easy access to recreational activities in the area. It would be a good base camp.

Peaceful and Secluded Getaway with a Unique Layout

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The property is secluded and incredibly peaceful, making it the perfect getaway. We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights there. One thing to note for future guests is that access to two of the bedrooms is through another bedroom, which might be a consideration depending on your group’s needs. Overall, a fantastic experience!

Large secluded home with great views

Large spacious living room, a large spacious balcony for outdoor eating and great unobstructed views of the Cuyamaca mountains. You won’t see neighbors in any direction. You might catch sightings of deer and wild turkey.The first bedroom has its own bathroom. Two bedrooms and a second bathroom are accessed through a third bedroom so a bit awkward, but we adjusted quickly. It was a relaxing and pleasant getaway. Will go again!

Beautiful and Near Wedding

We had a wonderful stay during our two nights in the area for a wedding. The location was very easy to find and access, and we appreciated how clean and comfortable everything was. Although the layout required going through one of the rooms to reach two others, it worked out perfectly for us with our two kids. We also visited several other rentals where our family and friends were staying, and we truly felt that ours was the best choice. Thank you for providing such a lovely experience!

New Years weekend getaway

The property and house was perfect for our family celebrating New Years. The large kitchen and family room was great for accommodating 8 adults, 2 dogs and a 5 month old. Communication was great with the Host as well. The only thing to mention was that you have to go thru one bedroom to get to the other two bedrooms and additional bathroom. We were with family so it wasn't a problem for us. Would definitely stay again.

Such an amazing property

We were in town for my daughters wedding and stayed at this beautiful property for the 2 nights leading up to the wedding. From the moment I opened the front door the warmth and peacefulness of the home hit me. Surrounded by gorgeous scenery the house is full of huge windows and slider doors that truly make you feel like you are in the nature itself. The large living room and kitchen were so spacious and served as a wonderful gathering place for us to enjoy the time together. I would highly recommend this beautiful home to anyone visiting Julian and I know I would definitely stay here again!!
