Quiet 4th of July!

We booked this location especially because it was dog friendly. We absolutely loved it and it exceeded our expectations. Paul was great and called the day we got there to make sure we didn’t have any questions and to let us know specifics. Such a quiet and relaxing area, the cabin is also very fun with all the little details. It was a pretty hot weekend, and the beds still had the winter flannel sheets, but other than that it was perfect.

Beautiful location!

This property was great for our family gathering to celebrate our father's 90th birthday. The location was perfect to easily get to the town of Julian & many hiking trails. The house was beautiful and full of fun decorations. It was more than large enough to accommodate us for family dinners inside and out. The view is awesome and the neighborhood is nice and quiet!

Exceeded Expectations

The living area and kitchen are much more spacious than they seem in the pictures. It's like a lodge with lots of comfortable seats and hanging out areas. The outside area by the jacuzzi and upstairs deck have beautiful views. The jacuzzi is great. The house managed to stay fairly cool in 90 degree weather and all the bedrooms have overhead fans and there are a couple portable fans. It's a very quiet and peaceful place, lots of birds and lovely wind chimes. The craftsmanship of the house inside and out is incredible- really something to see! We had a great time here in Julian reconnecting with family.

Looking for One-of-a-Kind?

We loved staying at this spacious and interesting cabin in Julian. So memorable in so many ways. Great valley mountain views, lovely outdoor entertaining area. We rented all 6 bedrooms. One bedroom and bath were on the main floor--great for grandma! We enjoyed Paul's eclectic collections and well-stocked kitchen. Every aspect of this experience was easy, fun, and unforgettable.

Huge, Lovely Cabin

There are a ton of great places to hang out in, in and outside of this cabin. The views of the entire valley from the back side of the property are amazing! My whole family loved the cabin and the whole weekend. There are some great hikes nearby also. We went hiking at Vulcan Mountain, and that was fun too.

Cozy Cottage

We fell in love with the Burgio Bungalow from the moment we set foot inside. The pictures are amazing but the feeling you get when you enter is breathtaking. Paul was in constant communication with us. He arrived early to get a fire going for us as well as the jacuzzi warming. Remarkable home. Our entire family did not want to leave. It was our first time visiting Julien. When most think of Julien they think of the apples, cider, etc. For us now, and forever will the The Burgio Bungalow. Thank you so much for the gift. It warmed our hearts being here. We cannot wait to make another trip out that way again in the future.

Cabin Magic!

We enjoyed another fabulous stay at this wonderful cabin! There is so much space available, but the cabin still has such a welcoming cozy vibe. It's a perfect place for games, movies, cooking, relaxing, and enjoying nature ... super close to town as well! As an added bonus, we were thrilled to see a family of dear stopping by each morning too. Thanks to our host Paul and we can’t wait to return! Be well, The Jordan Family

The perfect Julian retreat.

Our family was delighted by the magic of this cabin. It was just what we needed after a stressful year and crazy holiday. It is definitely one of the most well equipped homes I have stayed in. We made all of our meals at the cabin and never once were shorthanded of supplies. We used the Jacuzzi during a light snowfall and set by the belly stove every night. Looking forward to coming back!!

Disappointed

Spider webs everywhere. Was accused of breaking a cupboard handle after checkout via text messaged photos taken by a third party and not owner. Was excited about staying here but when it is insinuated that we are careless and break things, maybe an inventory plan or checklist of newly refurbished areas of concern should be documented. For the price we payed, it seems they try to find issues with how bad you left the home instead of thanking you for staying. Lost a customer and all federal law enforcement co workers who inquired about the cabin initially.

About the host

Hosted by Paul Burgio

Hello everyone,
I live in San Diego about one hour away from my cabin. I have so much fun remodeling my cabin/home over the past 22 years. I love to cook and entertain for my family and friends. Love soaking in the jacuzzi under the mountain stars, listening to the fireplace, playing music, nobody ever wants to leave. We have so much fun!
Many of my renters come back each year.
I look forward to meeting you,

Paul Burgio

Why they chose this property

My cabin has such a warm comfortable historic feeling to it.
Very cozy! A great getaway from the city noise with a huge great room and kitchen area to spread out in!

What makes this property unique

It is nestled in a very quiet neighborhood of Pine Hills within walking distance of the Historic 1912 Pine Hills Lodge. Almost every weekend they are hosting a wedding, live music and or Sunday brunch open to the public.
Renters love sitting on my upper back deck listening to birds reading their favorite book or enjoying their favorite drink gazing out to Volcan Mtn.
