We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cabin home. The perfect place to stay if you’re looking to stay near Lake Cuyamaca. The home is spacious and perfectly setup for a family of 6 to spread and feel comfortable. We found the home clean and well maintained. The home has clearly been meticulously decorated, staying true to a rustic cabin feel yet still offering all the amenities of a modern home. During our stay we saw flocks of wild geese and deer in the meadows and endless stars at night. Would definitely come back!

Great spot to relax

We’ve stayed here multiple times and always have a great time. It’s clean, comfortable and has lots to do for all ages. If you are looking for a spot to get away near Julian, we’d highly recommend the hideaway.

What an absolutely perfect place to stay. My wife and I needed a quick getaway from the city and found this gem. Easy to get to. Plenty of parking onsite. Lots of privacy from the other nearby houses. Incredible views of Lake Cuyamaca and the surrounding mountains and hillsides. Pitch black nights with amazing views of the night sky and Milky Way galaxy. The cabin (I hate calling it a cabin as it's really a beautiful home) is fully equipped and furnished with everything you could want or need. Fully equipped kitchen with all appliances (including a trash compactor!), dishes, silverware, utensils, etc. The bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable and perfect for a family with kids. The game room was a lot of fun even for us adults. The weather was quite warm when we went but the central air kept the entire house very comfortable and ceiling fans throughout were great. The decor is so well done - really gives a warm, homey, cabin feel but you have all the creature comforts you could ever want including wifi, streaming devices, surround sound system (entire house), etc. Two full bathrooms with a fantastic walk-in shower in the master were both excellent. The views of the lake though from the outside deck, dining room, living room, both main bedrooms - plus all the other amenities will keep us coming back again when we're looking for a staycation. Lastly, the hosts were very friendly and helpful with their timely communications and were a joy to do business with.

Everything was clean and the location was great. The view from the main room was unreal, with the lake and mountains right there. It was a little different having to put our own sheets on the beds, but I understand their reasoning. It ensures that the sheets are clean because they were folded up on the bed and you put them on yourself. The game room was great! My kids spent hours down there whenever we were not out exploring. The owners left detailed notes/signs and explanations throughout the house, so It was easy to know what to do and what not to do, or why something was a certain way. It was a great experience, and we hope to come stay there again in the future.

Hi Thomas! We are happy you had a wonderful visit and you took the opportunity for a walk down to the lake. There are some great hiking trails, and a fun geocache for people who are into that. Thank you for the great review and it sounds like you make some fantastic family memories both inside and outside!

Family of 7, grandparents celebrating Valentines and Birthday. Lori was great, answered each and every questions with grace and thoroughness. House is very well stocked with everything needed for a great time. Playroom downstairs has adult and kiddos toys. Kitchen also, even necessities - sugar, coffee, hot choc, S&P. Just bring clothing and food; everything is too hand. I did bring my kettle and teabags as I cannot survive without! View is marvelous. We will definitely return.

Spectacular lake retreat

We celebrated my 60th birthday at this lovely and spacious home with a gorgeous view of Lake Cuyamaca. We enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen and hiking on the many nearby trails. Instructions were ample and easy to follow. I hope to return in the future.
