Enjoy a romantic getaway in our secluded, cozy, Couple's Cabin. Relax in the park-like setting with wild turkeys and occasional deer. The property is secured with a gated entrance. It is located in the community of Wynola, less than a mile from local restaurants and shops, and just a few miles to the historic town of Julian. On a clear night, enjoy star gazing from our hot tub or around the fire-pit on your private patio. Julian is one of few areas where you can see the Milky Way. This is a cozy 300 sq. ft. cabin with wood siding and wood interior. Located on private property with 13 acres of meadows and trees. Although the main house about 100 ft. away, it'smore secluded than the average neighborhood home. It has a comfortable porch and private deck attached. It has an open floor plan with the kitchen, living, and dining area all in one. There is a private bedroom with an adjustable queen size bed to elevate the head and / or foot.

EXITING: When leaving the property, the exit sensor to open the gate is on the left side of the driveway, near the lamp post.

In the event of low temperatures please be prepared to not have running water until mid morning. We recommend showering before bed and setting some water aside for use in the morning.

Perfect get away

You can tell that the property owners/hosts put a lot of effort into this place. The accommodations were great! Clean and comfortable, and made sure that if you accidentally forgot anything that you didn’t have to worry about it because they provided it! The environment was peaceful and serene. Everything that we ate while staying in the area was also delicious!! There’s so much to do and see in Julian. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to going back!

Amazing Stay!

This was a great place for my partner and I. It was private, easy access and super cozy. We had a wonderful time and the owners are just amazing, well organized, and friendly. They took the time to leave a binder full of information that was very helpful. We would definitely come back. It was a great place to connect with my spouse and have very needed quality time.

A Perfect Getaway

This is the first mountain cabin we've stayed in that didn't already have mouse guests and that was such a welcome change! I truly believe you couldn't find a place that was any better appointed... the hosts provide for every possible need and the cabin is so comfortable, cozy and beautifully decorated. We were very happy and want stay again!

Peaceful Getaway

The Couple's Cabin was exactly the quiet getaway we hoped for. There were thoughtful details throughout the property and helpful communication with the owners during our stay. We promised to leave a review because the cabin was extraordinarily pleasant, our only hesitation is more people will find this gem.

Beautiful views, convenient placement

Absolutely wonderful time at the cabin. Its clise to the main property but feels very private. Many mule-deer and turkeys visited around the cabin and some fantastic bird watching from the bird feeders. We will definately visit again. Only a 15 minute drive to Julian too!

Quiet New Years Trip

My partner and I stayed for new years eve get away. It was a rainy weekend so we didn't get to enjoy all the amenities on the property but we enjoyed our stay very much. The small cabin was perfect for 2 people. We saw Dozens of wild turkey and 3 deer close up to the cabin the 1st morning. The property is beautiful and secluded. We did not want to leave, it was a perfect, quiet and cozy New Years Eve weekend and we look forward to coming back!

Nice

Although this place is fairly close to the host residence, it still feels private, and offers some seclusion, more than other options in neighborhood settings. We never saw another person during our stay. For this price range it’s great. The kitchen was adequately equipped and everything was clean. The hot tub sits between the cabin and the host residence, not ideal but still enjoyable under the stars, a nice addition for the price. The viewpoint at the top of the hill was a plus. Great for a relaxing getaway.
