About this property

Pheasant Hill Cabin. A cozy cabin and dog friendly.

This quaint cabin is 1.5 miles from the heart of historical Julian, CA. A private property, this is the perfect place for a couple's getaway, a nice family vacation or even just a group of friends looking to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. A fenced back yard is perfect for a dog (note: our neighbors have dogs), while the enormous front deck allows for a great hang out spot and night time star gazing. The cabin is a studio layout with a queen bed and queen sofa bed. The kitchen has everything you could need for your stay including a full size fridge.

The cabin is on its own property and is not attached or shared by any other building.

Forested neighborhood of Kentwood-In-The-Pines, in the mountains is quiet, lots of birds. (and wild turkeys!)

Winter note: please be aware that it can snow in winter and you should check the weather conditions and be prepared with chains or a 4x4. Our road usually gets cleared but not always (our neighbor has a snow plow). Locals often park at the end of the driveway in snow to make access to the street easier.

Love this cabin for the quiet neighborhood. When sitting on the elevated deck you are in the trees. The owner had made some cozy changes. We really appreciate that the cabin is dog friendly with a private backyard. My husband and I have stayed at this cabin multiple times over the years. It will continue to be our favorite weekend getaway.

Pheasant Hill Cabin is a cozy place to stay. We loved hanging out on the deck overlooking the tall trees. The neighborhood was quiet and a great place to walk our dog. We especially appreciate that it's a dog friendly accommodation since we love to bring our dog with us on vacation. We also loved the short drive into town to go out to eat. We will definitely be staying at this cabin again.

The cabin is easy to find & immaculate…a stunning property inside and out. It is well stocked with kitchen utensils, towels, blankets, shampoo, & a very well put together binder with local attractions. The deck is a serene spot surrounded by gorgeous trees and a variety of birds. The cabin interior was inviting with wood paneled walls, a comfortable bed, an extra soft sofa, & pretty Aztec decor. The heater/AC unit worked quite well. The host was kind, welcoming, & organized. Check in & out are simple. This property made for a very restful get away. I definitely recommend.

The cabin is super cute. I thought it was a one bedroom. The main bed is off to a corner of the cabin and so has no privacy. It was fine, just not what I had expected as it was listed as a one bedroom. The foldout couch mattress was very thin so my sister slept on the couch and not on the mattress. We did not have any pets with us but it would work if you hasp a dog as the back yard was fenced. There were neighborhood dogs all around who barked all the time during the daytime. They were quiet at night. Seemed like people went off to work and left their dogs out in the yards, who then barked at any car or person who went by. The yards are not large so dogs are very close.

A wonderful place of respite, with lots of thoughtful amenities. Before this trip, I didn't really know what a Dark Skies community was, but oh, how we enjoyed laying out on the balcony at night, looking at the sky and seeing countless stars, compared to the few visible from home. Close enough to town to visit it at will, and just far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet, and the voices of birds of all kinds. Our golden retriever loved the backyard, as well as hanging out with us, indoors.We loved the entire experience, and appreciated our responsive host.

Cabin in the trees

Cute cabin in the trees. Clean and well stocked. Fenced yard for a dog Nice deck for coffee in the morningI would definetly book again. There are 13 stairs up to the door. That may be a challenge for some, but there is shade for your car to park underneath.

About the host

Hosted by Larry Rios

Host profile image
We're a local San Diego couple and live between Julian and San Diego - this is our weekend/vacation home. So we use the cabin as well and just love being up in the mountains in the quiet woods!
We were going up to Julian so often that we thought we would buy a home here and make it that much easier!

Why they chose this property

It's quiet and peaceful without being isolated - it's a short trip into town so you can grab food, drink and PIE and be back home quickly. You can also walk or ride a bike!
We also have some incredible neighbors and love that people still walk the neighborhood and always wave!

What makes this property unique

The cabin was built in 1965 and still maintains some of the original fittings. The inside is all knotty pine and very open! The kitchen area is original as is the sink and the one in the bathroom.
