A perfect spot for a four-day getaway in the mountains and exactly what we were looking for. Very peaceful and private property with beautiful views and spacious yard, hot tub, great charcoal grill and space for our two pups to play and explore. Convenient drive into town but far enough away for peaceful tranquility. Eileen and Tom are great hosts who live on the property but far enough away that you feel like the entire ranch is all yours. If you like to stream shows, bring your Firestick or Roku but DISH is available otherwise. Farmhouse is very comfortable with a great fireplace and well appointed...bring your own spices and shampoo if needed. Thank you and hope to be back again in the future.
We had a great stay at the farmhouse! We loved how spacious the home was, and the kids loved playing in the backyard and on the swing. Just a short drive from Julian and wineries, we loved exploring the community

Eileen’s farmhouse comfortably housed our party of 14. It was nice, clean and peaceful in a secluded area. Eileen was quick to respond with any inquiries we had. Check in and out were a breeze. If we were to stay in Julian I’d gladly book here again.

I rented this place for a chill girls weekend with my friends. It was spacious and had everything we needed. Loved the location and how close it was to Julian as well. The hot tub was nice aspect as well. Would come again!
This home was the perfect place for our family to gather together! Lots of beds! Beautiful views surround this comfortable home with a great family dining space, ample patio to enjoy the beauty outside & games for the kids too! We also enjoyed exploring the town of Julian together! We enjoyed our time there very much!
Appreciated so much the peaceful, quiet atmosphere with endless views. Family had a wonderful time with plenty of activities for kids. Bean bag toss and bocce ball were big hits. Nearby Volcan Mt Preserve hike was amazing.
We came up here to get away for a few days with my husband’s family. It was so wonderful! We loved sitting in the backyard. The kids had a fun time exploring!

Hi Kelley
Thank you for your review, we’re glad you enjoyed your stay with us and discovered the beauty of Julian. We look forward to seeing you again soon

We loved the cozy 1940s farmhouse. The best part about the property is the location. We loved the 55acres of solitude while still being close to Julian and wynola.
The fresh water from the well was also such a treat!

Had a great retreat here. Got a sunny winter day and was able to play a bit in the nice grass with amazing views. Cooked dinners and had a fire. Thanks for the host!
Great 2 night trip for my wife and I and 3 teenagers. Well stocked kitchen and hot tub at night was soooo good. Close to town yet felt like you were miles and miles away. Thank you Eileen.
This is our 3rd time at this wonderful home. Our group of 13 had a great time. Comfy beds, beautiful woods surrounding us. A real getaway from the city life!
Communication with Eileen was great as always.
We came up for some peace and quiet from the city and loved our stay. The home is beautiful and very large. Spacious enough for all of us to have a little retreat and the home was great for a nice gathering. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again! Thank you Eileen

About the host
Hosted by Eileen Lay
Tom and I grew up in England, we came to the US in 1983 for what we thought was going to be a 2 year work opportunity but we fell in love with San Diego and decided to make this area our home. We have lived in the US longer than we lived in England and both our kids were born and raised here. We discovered Julian in the early 90s when we lived in Escondido and Tom decided he wanted to build custom homes in the area so we moved here in 1999.
Why they chose this property
We moved into this beautiful Julian ranch property in 2003 as we wanted more open space, and the farmhouse with its old world charm and mid 20th century roots held a special place in our hearts as the original family homestead where our children could grow up. We have since built another house on the property which we now live in and we saw a unique opportunity to share this beautiful property and all that it offers with others wanting to get away from it all.
What makes this property unique
This property with its 55 acres of space is a place where you can definitely unwind and leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind , its location in the foothills of Volcan Mountain Preserve ensures you will have all the peace and quiet you desire and not be overlooked. The property has a history, there was a goldmine built into the mountain but we've not been able to discover if any gold was found here, although for safety purposes the mine workings are no longer open. However there are many natural springs and we are using these springs today so the water is the purest you'll ever taste.If you like hiking and being outdoors this property offers hours of interesting walks through meadows, forests and creeks and of course never ending views.
