The location is nice and quiet but easy to get into Julian. The cabin and property are rustic but that was as described so we were expecting that. Everything we needed was available and the owner responded very quickly when we had a question.
The place was as described. I was rustic, but that is what we like. The place was clean, and there were a ton of toys for our grand child. There was plenty of blankets and towels and tons of plates and cups and utensils. Very nice for a big family get together.

Thank you Mike- guess I missed the window to review you. Sorry. Great to host you. So glad your family had a great time
Great quiet location...
Close to bike trails. House was clean. Deck needs some work. Deer and wild turkeys out front. Nice.

Thank you Lou,
I want to clarify that the back deck where the fire pit is located is completely new. The balcony deck is going to be entirely redone, but has been delayed because of costs (I was out of work for 13 months) and contractor scheduling issues related to Covid.
We decided to stay here to celebrate my mom's 76th birthday. There were 6 of us with plenty of room for more. The place was quant, quiet and just want we needed for a long weekend. The cabin was close to Julian but far enough away that you felt the quiet that nature has to offer. Amazing sunsets and loads of turkeys to entertain us all, especially the dogs!
Melisa was a great host and made us feel very welcome. I'd definitely recommend her place and will stay here again
It was a great cabin. The owner's communication was awesome and very helpful in all my questions i had.
The nature outside was great with all the deer passing by on the property. We had everything we needed in the cabin.
The only thing i would say is seeing the cabin online was not what i thought. I thought their was an extra bedroom. Because it had different bedspreads on the room, so I thought there were two bedrooms like that instead of just one. The latch on the oven broke when we pulled it open but we did fix that and made the screw tighter.

We are sorry for any confusion. We try to be as clear as possible; we put the photos side by side and describe as "downstairs room winter bedding" and "downstairs room summer bedding." I can certainly add "SAME ROOM- summer bedding" if that helps. We also sent the actual floor plan as an attachment thru VRBO so I didn't know there was still confusion about the layout of the house because I know you had some concerns. Sorry about that.
Absolutely loved the property, home, location, and that it was pet friendly. It does need some attention , like new dining table chairs, a new coffee maker, and a good dusting, but the host is working on all of that as she made clear. Overall everything was clean and the home had everything we needed. The thermostat situation is a little weird. The host has it blocked off and you have to message her if you want AC on/ off or temperature changed, unfortunately due to other people abusing / breaking things in the past. However, She always responded very quickly and was happy to change it for us and made sure we were comfortable - but I just hadn’t encountered this before. I would absolutely stay again, and recommend this place. It is one of the easier accessible properties we’ve stayed at in this area and the views are truly gorgeous. Good location.

Yes it was pet friendly but no where in the description was a cost per pet per night rate mentioned until I was in the middle if my stay. Rooms were clean plenty of room for the 7 of us. Host was pleasant and kind.

Sorry for the inconvenience but the amount of guests and whether there are pets are on the booking page. We wouldn’t know how many guests or if you have pets. You enter how many adults, kids, pets, you have in your party and the VRBO system will charge you accordingly.
You had paid for 5 adults, I child, and no dogs. When my property manager assistant counted heads upon check-in (disclosed in our listing), she counted 8 adults (note: a full size teenager does not count as a child), and 3 dogs.
The back bedroom should have been locked as that’s only for gustes who pay for more than 8 guests, but it was left open on accident, which you used for your extra guests. I didn’t charge you for the extra adults even though that is more bedding and towels to wash, but charged a $25 fee per STAY, not per pet, for the 3 dogs as the cleaner will charge me $75 more to have to clean up dog hair.
All good though, We are closing our doors and switching to a long term rental.
The house was very cozy and prefect for our group. We have dogs and they loved the yard and we didn't have to worry as the fencing was great. The host was easy and very easy to get ahold of as we had a question for her. the group voted we would definitely go back there.
We absolutely loved staying here! The house was spacious, and the area was quite and peaceful with amazing views from the top balcony! Very comfortable beds! The owner is extremely friendly and responsive! Will definitely book again in the future!
We enjoyed our stay here. Host Melisa is very responsive and accommodating. It is an old cabin so if you are expecting ritz and glam - don’t bother booking here. If you want a nice quiet comfortable place to stay that is off the beaten path, but still close to some fun things to do - this is the place for you.
We stayed when it was hot - and the ac was fabulous.
What a great cabin. Just as described and a terrific owner. If you like nature and incredible sunsets, you will love this cabin. If you sit quietly on the deck, wild turkey, deer will walk right by. Also saw incredible California Condors floating in the sky.
Had a wedding in Julian and housed some of the bridal party here! It was absolutely perfect for the weekend. The location was super close to the venue and went with the rustic, fall vibe so wonderfully. The host was super accommodating and very quick to respond to the few questions we had along the way!
We rented this house to accommodate my parents, my adult daughters, my husband and myself. Everyone had there own space and was roomy. We were attending my sons wedding at a winery about 20 minutes away. Was a great fit for us but is a distance away from most things.

Nice place
We enjoyed our stay. The house was very comfortable. The only complaint I have is every window, door, and bathroom had way too many cobwebs with lots of little flies in them. You could tell they had been there awhile.

We absolutely have some well-fed spiders in Julian. Even with a monthly exterminator contract, and my cleaner wiping the sills and the eaves outside, it is a never ending battle. The house is literally under a bunch of trees and the doors get left open by guests. I have removed webs on the sills and a day later they are back. My cleaner comes Wednesday mornings so by Friday night when you check in there is a chance there will be cob webs in the sills with whatever was let in before and made its way to the windows. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We had a fantastic weekend. Melisa was just the best host ever in many ways. The cabin less than 10 minutes from town and the drive in/out was easy and gorgeous. Quiet place, with a ton of room and a few special treats/thoughts left behind from Melisa. Thank you and we will be back!
I wanted to surprise my girlfriend for her birthday by taking her up to Julian and then having our friends come up as well, all without her knowing. We were 4 couples total and had 3 dogs between us so that is very difficult logistically to find a place that would accommodate both. Melissa had the perfect place with a very spacious 4 bed cabin and an amazing location in the woods outside of Julian. Melissa was extremely responsive, the cabin was exactly what she described and even went to far as to have a birthday cake waiting for my girlfriend when we arrived. The dogs loved the space to run around, we loved the quiet and nature of the woods. It was an incredible stay and Melissa is an incredible host!

Thanks Tobi- so glad we helped you make her birthday special. Come back anytime
Love the view and air. It is on top of mountain and a very quiet place to stay. House is ok a little Old but clean and nice, a little cracker here and there. Overall we love it.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Yes, the house is old. It was built in 1979 and has not been fully remodeled. I do disclose that in the listing. We like to think the age gives it character, like the owner.
Thanks for staying!
Our group enjoyed our stay tremendously. Outstanding view right out the main windows!
The cabin was well equipped and we had everything we needed. We could tell that the owner had put a lot of thought into making guests’ experience magical.
Definitely read the owner’s description before booking. It is very detailed and also accurate. The house has its quirks and you need to read closely and be able to follow directions for the best experience, so keep that in mind before you decide. It worked well for us.
The owner was very available whenever we had a question or needed to find something. It snowed the weekend we went, which was a last minute flip of the script. But I feel like she communicated with us so well that we were able to switch gears and prepare for the snow (buy chains, pack in duraflames, pack differently and take a different route, etc) due to her messages. In fact, she stood by and stayed in contact as we checked in to make sure we made it safely inside with the snow, which made all the difference.
In summary, a great stay in a beautiful location. I cannot overstate the view out of the living room wall of windows! And the touches of hospitality all around were evidence that we were wished a wonderful time. (Go yourself see what I mean!)
