Perfect Julian Getaway House
Amazing house in the perfect location. Short walk to Eagle Mining and Downtown Julian. House is spacious and kid friendly, hot tub was perfect at night for looking at the stars. Can not recommend enough, will come back again. Thank you!
We didn’t get to stay. The power was shut off. The manager called me to let me know that we shouldn’t stay. I haven’t been refunded nor have I been able to get ahold of her to follow up. Contacted Expedia and they stated they would help but haven’t heard from them either. I’m frustrated. Seems like a beautiful home but still waiting for the compensation because I had to find another place to stay.

We loved our stay at this property. It was clean, the property manager was super responsive by text, and we had plenty of room at the property. We used the trail on the side of the property to easily walk to town. The fire pit outside was quite enjoyable.

Amazing house!
My family and I have 0 complaints about staying in this beautiful home. From the grandparents to my 1 year old son everyone had a great time. Gina was amazing and the house was immaculate and well stocked with anything you could possibly need. The weather was hot and it was perfectly cool inside when we arrived. The quick trail and walk to town was fun and easy. We can't wait to come back!!

Beautiful location and house
I loved staying here, the only thing to note is there are only two bedrooms and one bedroom has a loft. This was not super clear as it seemed like there were three bedrooms, but the loft is connected to the main bedroom so great for families with kids, but not as ideal for a group of adults. Still loved our stay, just a note for future guests!
The hot tub was amazing and loved the kitchen and living room area!

Beautiful Home
The house is beautiful and spacious. Clean and comfortable. Gorgeous views and plenty of games to keep everyone entertained. We especially enjoyed the 80s and 90s trivia. Gina was wonderful, very accomodating and great communication. The house is pretty much as listed, nice jacuzzi and fire pit, and though not listed, even has a grill. However, I was surprised to see neighbors so close. And sadly, a country critter (mouse?) did get to our bag of tortillas on the kitchen counter. Overall, though, a lovely place for a getaway.

Great Cabin
Stayed over Memorial Weekend and had a great time. Property had been updated in the last few years and had a great feel to it. The hot tub and fire pit had a nice setup and the views were spectacular. Kitchen was well laid out and functional. There are a few minor things about the property. The third bedroom is really a loft best situated for kids. Our kids loved it so not an issue for us. It was their hideaway. Our biggest complaint would be the small bathrooms. Not much space to change in when the kids are using the loft. Jeanna the property manager was very kind and helpful with questions. We would stay here again.

Great Place
Property is great with lots of fun things to do and only a 5 minute walk to town. The only negative aspect was we encounter mice in the house, especially in the kitchen area. There was evidence of the mice the first day we stayed, but we didnt see any until the last few nights. Hopefully theyll get an exterminator to take care of that issue. Other than that, I would highly recommend staying here.
