About this property
Top of the Mountain Cabin on 40 acres with Amazing Views
Located high above the clouds in Oak and Pine forest, at an elevation of almost u6000 feet this beautiful cabin offers spectacular views of the mountains and forest. The cabin is located away from the main house in a very private setting with its own private road and entrance.
Find yourself surrounded by nature, wildlife and complete tranquility and privacy. Enjoy beautiful mountain views and city lights from an outside deck and have dinner under the stars.
Mt Laguna and Lake Cuyamaca is just minutes away with thousands of trails, fishing, boating, birdwatching, camping and amazing scenery.
This charming studio has a queen size bed, bathroom with bath and shower, kitchenette with Keurig coffee maker, medium size fridge, microwave, stove, toaster and blender for your use. Enjoy the large deck and morning sunrises straight from your bed.
Historic gold mining town Julian is about 15-20 min away, where you can sample Julian’s famous apple pie and ride down Main street in a horse-drawn carriage. Sunrises and sunsets are included.
***Other things to note***

*Please keep noise levels reasonable, especially in the evenings
*NO SMOKING or FIRES - I (we), our guests, agree to not smoke in the house or outside. Any kind of FIRE (fire pits, bbq, fireworks etc) is strictly prohibited outside or inside the property. You could face charges by the county, fined and lose your deposit and/or face additional charges. Breaking this important house rule will result in immediate removal from property.
*Wood stove inside the cabin can only be used with owners permission. We do not provide firewood. Only seasoned wood is allowed to burn, NO duraflame firelog or any other similar starters. No dumping of ashes outside, please leave them inside the fireplace or in specially designed tin bucket next to the fireplace.
*This is a mountain cabin surrounded by trees and nature. Very occasionally one may see ants or spiders. Please keep that in mind when booking.

*NO drones, shooting, fireworks or hunting allowed, which includes killing birds and squirrels with a pellet gun.

*In general sounds carry from further away in the mountains. Sometimes there might be some noise from one of our neighbors working on their properties ie tractors, heavy equipment etc. Unfortunately, we can't control that.

*Our property is located on forty acres and sighting of the wildlife is not unusual. Please be respectful of their habitat, and at the same time be aware of your surroundings, especially during the months of May through September.
