About this property

Cristine's Cozy Cottage in the Woods; Close to Town & Pet Friendly Fenced Yard!

Go back to a simpler time with a visit to this quaint 1940s country farmhouse, complete with a front porch that overlooks Volcan Mountain and an acre of fenced land filled with whispering pines, fragrant cedars, and majestic oak trees. Perfect for our furry friends! I'll supply the lawn chairs for the ultimate in relaxation if you supply the wine from one of our local wineries. Or, if getting out and about is more your speed, come hike in our crisp mountain air, visit an 1870s gold mine, or feast on a succulent apple pie. This tribute to my own grandmother (with many of her vintage antiques and linens) is located one mile from historic downtown Julian and is at the end of a 1/8th of a mile private gravel road. Recently redesigned, this 750 square foot bungalow is perfect for a romantic get-a-away or for a small family of four who wants to experience going back to a gentler time.

In the main house, there is a queen size bed in the larger bedroom, a full size bed in the guest bedroom, and a comfortable foldout bed in the living room. The cottage has the original oak hardwood floors, a quaint country kitchen, an outside BBQ, and Smart TV with DirectTV as well as Netflix, HULU, YouTube, Paramount Plus, Prime Video, and HBO Max. Plenty of private onsite parking. Julian is less than an hour from San Diego, so what are you waiting for?

About the host

Hosted by Cristine Hamilton

Host profile image
Julian has always had a special place in my heart...my first memories are of my mother waking me up in Orange County at 4am and piling me into our Volkswagen bug for the 2 hour drive up to Julian to catch the birds singing at sun up! She was an avid bird watcher, and we came to Julian at least once a month during the spring and summer months. When she passed, I started making trips by myself to Julian in memory of her and bought my first vacation rental in 2011. This cozy cottage is my second of three vacation rentals, and it's my favorite, and as mentioned, it is a tribute to my Mom and her mother with many of their antiques and furnishings.

Why they chose this property

The cottage is in the Whispering Pines neighborhood, which is a 5 minute drive from downtown Julian....just close enough to enjoy the town and its festivities, but far enough for the quiet and peacefulness of country living!

What makes this property unique

The cottage is on an acre of wooded land with oaks, pines and cedar trees with room to explore while basking in the majesty of a view of Volcan Mountain. In addition, there is a medicine wheel on the property with Mason jars for guests to gather nature's jewels, such as our red rocks or fall leaves, and set their intentions or prayers for the coming year.

If more room is needed for additional family members, there is a second house on the property that can be rented separately through this online site. Please contact the owner for additional information!
