Amazing Historic Cabin Nestled In The Heart Of Julian Pets ok Quiet and secluded
A secluded and recently remodeled historic cabin to create your own memories in with 2 bedrooms and one bath on a 1/2 Acre. A/C and Heat on a mini-split with and additional amazing ceramic wood Stove.
This quiet cabin is off a county paved road for ease of access (so you wont get snowed in!) with plenty of parking. Cell phone service in area. High Speed internet. Only 1.5 miles from downtown Julian. Deer trail through property. A very special cabin which is close to hiking trails and Lake Cuyamaca. 5 star reviews on all Vacation rental sites.
This cabin feature many antiques for that rustic cabin experience. With magazines and books from 50's and even an resto-mod record player for your enjoyment. Although it is not used there is even the original outhouse still on the property! A place to get away from it all for sure. You will love the privacy and lounging on the large deck while cooking on our egg BBQ. Check our other properties on VRBO too!
Very secluded and quiet! Only 1.5 miles from Julian Visitor Area. Amazing Volcan mountain and Lake Cuyamaca nearby. Trails all around and very close to Mt Laguna Mountain. This cottage is very cozy and comfy with a hammock and a wonderful deck area. Has a nice patio table outside and inside many antiques and historical information on Julian. This is an experience and not just a cabin.
The first room next to the bathroom has a Beautiful queen size bed and the 2nd bedroom also has a queen size bed. There is a TV in the 1st room too with Netflix. Cell phone reception is good and free wifi.
We have a nest security system looking over the front. You are welcome to unplug if you like.

This cabin has historic furnishing that both young and old will enjoy. From an old time style phonograph to many antiques that decorate the cabin. A ceramic wood stove is front and center for those cozy evenings.
Swinging in the Hammock and listing to the birds and wind go through the trees is music to my ears! Private yet safe for a very memorable experience.
