Getting Around:

🗺️ Julian’s historic charm is best experienced at an easy pace. The town’s compact layout makes much of historic downtown Julian walkable, where you can stroll past preserved 19th-century buildings, browse unique local boutiques, and stop by the famous pie shops that define the area.



▸ On Foot: Downtown Julian is ideal for walking, with shops, cafés, and historic sites close together.

▸ By Car: A personal vehicle is recommended for exploring nearby wineries, orchards, scenic drives, and hiking trails in the Cuyamaca Mountains. The surrounding roads offer beautiful mountain views and peaceful landscapes.

▸ Parking: Public parking is available throughout town. Weekends and apple-picking season can be busier, so arriving earlier in the day or visiting on weekdays offers a smoother experience.



This balance of walkability and scenic drives makes Julian a relaxing mountain escape with easy access to nature and local attractions.

My wife and I loved the property, not only that but how private the yard and property are, it really feels like you are out on the mountains private and only being about a block away from the main street is impressive. Not to forget my Service dog had loads of fun running around in the yard. We also loved the view the property has especially for golden hour. For the inside of the property loved the high ceilings, everything just makes you feel cozy as soon as you walk past the door. We'll definitely be back soon for another getaway. Thank you very much to the amazing hosts, we are very much grateful!-Andrew & family

Property was very clean and the check in was super easy. Only downside about the property was the inside did have a strong fire smell. Other than that our stay was great would recommend!

Such a great location, walking distance to the main drag of Julian, but enough off of the beaten path that there weren't swarms of people, even at midday on a Saturday. The only (and I mean only) suggestion I have for improvement was the oddly sweet smoky smell that permeated through the cabin - understandable, as the fireplace seemed very old, and there was a wood fire pit outside, but it was like they tried to cover it with air freshener and it just didn't work. Not a detractor at all, we still loved our stay!

I think a bit more adjustable lighting would have been helpful. I live to read and am an artist. I have age- related vision issues .
