VIEWS
Magnificent rocky mountains tower above. State parks and hundreds of miles of forested hiking trails in a National Forest surround this cabin. Area trees are estimated to be up to 400 years old!


THE FOREST
Our small treehouse Cabin opens to the outdoors for views and direct exposure to the forest. This exposure to nature provides a wonderful inspirational relaxing effect. Japanese call it 'Shinrin-Yoku' which translates to 'forest bathing'. The idea is simple: If a person visits a natural area and walks in a relaxed way, there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved. Studies have documented reduced stress, lower blood sugar, better concentration, diminished pain, improved immunity...

Taking in this forest atmosphere has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers have established a robust body of scientific literature on health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. Many trees give off organic compounds that support “NK” (natural killer) cells that are part of our immune system's way of fighting cancer.

This unique property was a fun place to stay, with multiple areas to hang out in, all in the midst of a wooded lot. Very relaxing. The deck and the treehouse were my favorites, but the Observatory/cabana and the elevated platform were also great. The kitchen was fully equipped (there was even a melon baller!) for cooking or baking. The hot tub was nice after a morning of hiking, and I saw wild turkeys hanging around in the "neighborhood".

Relaxing feast for the eyes

When my husband and I found this home on VRBO, it looked nice and was a decent price. So we booked our stay for our anniversary. We noticed right away after booking that the owner Rick and his property supervisor Maria were great about responding quickly. As soon as we got inside, we realized what a gem we had found. And although I would love to gatekeep this rental, the owner and his rental rep and this home are just too awesome not to leave a fabulous review. This property is one acre of amazing views of Lake Cuyamuca, fabulous spots for stargazing, birdwatching, wildlife and relaxation. We had breakfast on the balcony while watching chipmunks and birds galore. The bed was comfortable and the linens were very high quality. They even provided robes for us. How awesome! This location is a quick drive to local dining but this home is fully stocked with anything you need to cook whatever meals you’d like. The restroom was nicely appointed with toiletries. The spa was perfect after a hike to nearby Green Valley Falls. We loved the view from the lookout deck at the top of the hill and the views from the porch and tree deck. Near the street level there is even a cabana with two chase loungers and a big screen tv. If you are looking for a place to relax, reconnect with nature and unwind, look no further. Thank you Rick and Maria, We can not wait to come back!

Spent a few nights at the tree house with my husband and 3 month old baby for a little vacation before going back to work. We had an amazing time! The house itself felt so homie and cozy. The deck/tree house was so cool! We spent mornings listening to the birds chirping and drinking coffee. The kitchen being fully stocked which worked great because we made breakfast in the morning. We can’t wait to come back!

Thoughtfully crafted quiet getaway with a beautiful view

This property really had it all: a beautiful view, every amenity you could think of, a clean jacuzzi, and plenty of activities for those who want to unplug for a moment. We were astounded by the fully stocked kitchen, reverse osmosis water filter, treehouse views, and clear night sky. We visited in the middle of May, and there was not a cloud in sight the entire visit (though the temperature was perfect.) All areas were very clean and the bathroom was stocked with body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.There was also a great selection of books, puzzles, and classic blurays that we were so happy to have access to, in order to stay away from the usual Netflix etc. Would highly recommend.

Lovely romantic cabin

We loved our stay. The cabin was very cozy and the surroundings were beautiful, even if we couldn't see much due to the foggy misty weather we had. It made it feel like we were in a cloud, which was cool. The jacuzzi was great and very much needed! The place is awesome but not for someone who has trouble climbing tons of stairs. Just a tip, consider whether you have the strength and stamina to make multiple trips up and down to your car carrying luggage or heavy bags. We made it, but we know now exactly how out of shape we are! Even so, we would love to come back.

Incredibly well equipped

Should you forget anything, the chances are they will have it. We brought a bunch of blue apron meals to cook in the well-appointed kitchen but forgot salt, pepper, and oil. No problem. It was all there. The property manager even left us a sweet little welcome package.We fell in love with the little knight wine holder, whom we've named Sir Apothic, after our wine bottle.It was stormy outside the entire time but that was the perfect setting for us to enjoy movies, cooking, and the wonderful hottub. Oh and we even spotted some wild turkeys. This is an amazing property and we can't wait to come back in the summer to try out the hiking.Be aware that they aren't joking about the stairs. We are both incredibly fit and still got really tired taking all of our stuff up into the cabin. It was more vertical than I think we expected. We made sure to eat all our food so we didn't have to take anything back down!The hot water is plentiful. I'm guessing they have an instant hot water heater. Having a washer and dryer was great for drying out our clothes and towels. And this is probably the easiest checkout I've done in a VRBO. They don't require you to strip beds, start laundry, start the dishes, or any of the stuff we've encountered in other places. Just get your stuff out in time for the housekeeper. We tried to leave it really tidy so she didn't have extra work, though.The one chore required, which was putting the garbage can out on Thursday night. Easy.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Rick

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
Rick Dyer is an inventor. Probably best known as the creator of the hit video game 'Dragon’s Lair'. Dyer is a licensed REALTOR® and Licensed Real Estate Agent. Rick was a twenty (25) year resident in Julian, California; and considers it a great privilege to live in such a beautiful place... I live in Julian to unwind, relieve stress and center myself. Our family fell in love with the peace and tranquility of the Mountains, the magnificent location and coziness of our house. For me, it is a magical place, and I love it as much as the first time I discovered Julian. When I travel up the mountain from San Diego, only a 60 minute drive or so, I can physically feel the layers of stress peel off. By the time I get there I am already in a renewed and relaxed state. Most noticeable is the lack of traffic and sirens, just the quiet sounds of nature. I love the four seasons, each for their own unique character. I originally thought this was a winter resort, but actually it is popular all seasons, and especially summer with Lake Cuyamaca only nine minutes away. I am located on a private lane, away from the highways, surrounded by trees and spectacular Mountain views. I enjoy relaxing on my deck taking in the Mountains, valley, the changing cloud formations in the distance and listening to birds and the wind blowing through the pine trees.

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

CHRISTMAS comes to Julian every year in an old-fashioned way-like a Norman Rockwell painting which reflects small-town American life and brings the spirit of the holidays to heart. Holiday time in Julian gets closer to that dream than most spots in Southern California where you'll feel a nip in the fresh mountain air, stroll through a quaint, festive town, and maybe catch a glimpse of snow capped mountains. The holiday season in Julian also offers an opportunity to shop at small boutiques and craft shows, From one-of-a-kind gifts, antiques and collectibles to jewelry, home décor plus, old fashioned candy and treats, Julian offers a wide variety of unique treasures to discover.

You can greet Santa a couple of times during the season, indulge in a Victorian Christmas tea, sing carols with costumed holiday carolers, sip a cup of hot chocolate or spiced cider. And you can watch the annual Living Nativity scene, cuddle under a blanket while riding down Main Street in a carriage, stay in a cozy bed & breakfast that's all decked out in holiday finery, or even stroll down a quiet country lane. You can enjoy Julian's holiday through early January.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

INTO THE WOODS - A HUNDRED YEARS AGO...

The dam at Cuyamaca Lake was completed in 1888 making it the 2nd oldest dam in California today.
Our treehouse overlooks Lake Cuyamaca. It was first purchased in 1920 by Don & Loie Gifford-Smedley. The Gifford's built their 1st cabin in 1920. It was affectionately named “Shack-De-Giff”

Over years this Cabin was upgraded multiple times. The family used a 1920 wood-burning stove to cook meals. Meal preparation was a huge part of each day. Their Children and grand children were sent outside to forage each day and find small pieces of wood in order to heat the stove’s fire-combustion chamber. The stove heated their cabin and was how they cooked their meals.

Notice the 100 year old California Redwood tree next to house. It was originally planted by the Gifford family as a seedling
After 95 years and five generations, the Giffard/Smedley family decided to sell this property.

In 2015 Rick and Jan Dyer became current owners. After careful consideration “Shack-De-Giff” was re-named, “INTO THE WOODS.”
On November 22, 2015, the 1st family to stay at our Treehouse after changing ownership was the Giffard/Smedley family (it’s prior owners). Below are comments from original family owners who stayed overnight after remodel was complete:

- Merilee: “As I sit here on the porch, I’m thankful that the sparkling lake view is never-changing… When I close my eyes and listen to the wind whistle through the trees, I’m thankful that much that we love remains. Thank you for your ethic of preservation.”
- Nico: “THANKS for keeping our cabin alive for us! There’s a lot of history here that would really be a shame to lose. We miss this place but it’s great to know it’s still here, and even better to know others are able to enjoy it!”
- Ben: “Thanks for preserving our family’s memories at this place. There’s old magic that will always be here.”
Please be our Guest and enjoy your get-away at this special place INTO THE WOODS.
