This is a beautiful house. If you are looking for a place to restore your energy and perspective, this is the place to be. The balcony will put you at treetops, perfect for bird-watching. We are frequented by bluejays, hummingbirds, oriels, finches, and more. The balcony has bird-feeding stations for these visitors. The house is open, spacious, and up-to-date. If you can't leave your work alone, the WiFi will provide you access to the outside world. Just a few minutes away, you have access to downtown Julian with shops, restaurants, and all the activities. The restaurants in town often feature their unique apple pies. Please try them. The exact history of Sam the bison is not clear. We understand he may be a lady bison due to her small size. Sam was already living in the house when we made the house purchase. Sam was not for sale. After the prior owners moved to their new home, they learned that their new house did not have sufficient ceiling height for Sam to be comfortable. This is how George and I got Sam. We just love this cabin. This cabin is built with cedar wood planks inside and out. With the tasteful furnishing, beautiful artwork, and a balcony putting you among the trees, you will be transported to a calming place. We hope you will enjoy this house as much as we do. By the way, the sofa has three electrical recliners. You will find one on either end of the sofa. The third is located on the far side of the beverage holder. You must run your hand on the right side of the sofa seam. You can watch all the birds from this position.
