Walking distance (1.5 mi) to Julian center. Very quiet and secluded w/ beautiful hammock. Full kitchen, claw foot tub, original outhouse w/ Turkey & Deer trails

A quaint, cozy, and quiet getaway

This little cabin is filled with antiques that remind you of simpler times. It is a great place to retreat from the busyness of life while still being close to Julian and nice hiking trails. Communication with the hosts was great! Check-in and check-out were seamless. The cabin was clean and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Would recommend!

A Julian Wedding Weekend

We stayed here for four nights. A good friend of ours was getting married in Julian. The main street/downtown area is really cool. It had a bunch of knick knack shops. We tried the Julian Pie Company. It was amazing. The Purple Owl has great food and delicious coffee. John was a great host. He was able to help us add a night because I had forgotten to extend our stay.

Lovely cabin in the woods!

My only regret is not being able to stay more than one night. The decor was so warm, inviting, and interesting and the beds were comfy. When we first pulled up into the driveway, we were underwhelmed but as soon as we stepped foot in the door we were taken back in time. We highly recommend and will be returning in the future!

Canin with Charm

Loved the cabin with all its 1950s charm. Great location too. A mile from main street Julian and not far from lake cuyamaca. John the owner had plenty of information on the cabin and what to do in julian and surrounding area. Would love to come back again soon. Luis

When we arrived, the cabin reminded us of the lake cabins our grandparents had and provided such great memories. It is full, and I mean full, of items related to the past. That’s why it is named “The Time Traveler's” cabin. John, the host, was very responsive to any questions I had.

Cozy cabin in the woods

Cute, cozy cabin in the woods in Julian. We (myself, husband, and teen daughter) went for a two night stay. Perfect for 3 people. Really enjoyed sitting out on the large deck, peaceful. My daughter enjoyed having her own room with a large TV and the hammock. Lots of antique knick knacks. Close to town but far enough away to enjoy nature.

Lovely Julian Getaway

John’s cabin in the woods was adorable and just what I needed for a weekend getaway! The cabin was tucked away nicely and surrounded by trees so you could hear the birds. It actually rained on my first day but I didn’t mind at all because it was so cozy. When I wanted to get out the drive into Julian was a quick 5 minutes which was nice. I would definitely recommend to stay here and don’t forget to read and sign the guest book!

Charming

We had a great time, loved the chickens next door and the trail nearby. The cabin is small, but has everything you need. The host were great and very helpful. Only note I’d make is, the mattresses are new, as noted- but, if your a sensitive sleeper, do know the box springs are pretty squeaky. Others seemed to be fine w it, as most says the beds were comfortable- just a note for those who are more picky 😊

Relax, relax, relax

This cabin is extremely charming and inviting. The beds and bedding were both excellent. The deck and grounds are everything that I expected. John, the owner, was very friendly and prompt. The property is a 5min drive to Jullian's main street. All the furniture and amenities are great. However, the main seating area is a bit cramped and the couch/chair are not something you are going to look forward to hanging out in. These could be upgraded. 4.5/5 We had a wonderful time and will book again.
