Thank you, Daniel, for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed our hidden gem in Julian. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another wonderful stay!
It was so cute and perfect for the four of us. Our daughters loved the loft and we had fun playing games at the dining table. We roasted marshmallows and made s’mores, having the backyard was a huge perk. It was also so close to town, we could walk everywhere. We’d definitely stay there again.

Great property. Location as key for us. Super close to town and with all the weekend traffic that comes to Julian it was great to be able to walk into town easily. Place was clean and had all of the amenities we needed.
Clear instructions to get to home and access. Very clean, owner actively responsive. Wife and kids loved the location, walkable to Julian restaurants. Will be on our repeat list of rentals.
Property was very clean and the check in was super easy. Only downside about the property was the inside did have a strong fire smell. Other than that our stay was great would recommend!
My wife and I loved the property, not only that but how private the yard and property are, it really feels like you are out on the mountains private and only being about a block away from the main street is impressive. Not to forget my Service dog had loads of fun running around in the yard. We also loved the view the property has especially for golden hour. For the inside of the property loved the high ceilings, everything just makes you feel cozy as soon as you walk past the door. We'll definitely be back soon for another getaway. Thank you very much to the amazing hosts, we are very much grateful!-Andrew & family
Such a great location, walking distance to the main drag of Julian, but enough off of the beaten path that there weren't swarms of people, even at midday on a Saturday. The only (and I mean only) suggestion I have for improvement was the oddly sweet smoky smell that permeated through the cabin - understandable, as the fireplace seemed very old, and there was a wood fire pit outside, but it was like they tried to cover it with air freshener and it just didn't work. Not a detractor at all, we still loved our stay!
