Really nice property. It’s on 7 acres but it’s not walkable land. Gorgeous views! Could use a good cleaning for cobwebs and mouse droppings. The beds are comfortable. The host was very easy to work with.

Comfortable & Fun Stay

The place was great! We loved the comfortable bed, the wood stove, the game room, and the wonderful jacuzzi. The hosts were also very responsive to communications, kind, and accommodating. We ended up not getting to sit out on the deck due to the weather, but we hope to come back another time!

Mary, David and their family were the ideal guests. They left our home in perfect condition, clean and tidy. Communication with them was great. We can't wait to see them again on their next visit. They are welcome here at any time. Any host fortunate enough to book them will be very happy with their visit.

Hilltop retreat

A great getaway! We experienced both a snow covered wonderland and then clear blue skies with amazing views. David and Lisa are attentive, communicative and overall wonderful hosts. We will be returning to this beautiful and secluded hilltop home.

We had a wonderful stay in Julian over 4th of July. We wanted a quiet 4th of July for our dog. The property has wonderful views and had everything we needed. They even left snacks and water for us to enjoy during our stay.

Great view of the Milky Way at night from the house (and the hot tub)—the stars were amazing . Dirt road for the last 1/3 mile is challenging but manageable. Felt very private.

Wonderful, Relaxing Stay

The views from this home are amazing. Stargazing at night is a delight from the deck. We enjoyed our family Thanksgiving in this beautiful home. Dave and Lisa were fantastic with communicating with us before our trip. This home was truly cozy and relaxing, a serene setting. There were many special touches, including the crisp, fresh apples that greeted us when we arrived. Thank you to our lovely hosts!

The house was a great pick for our little retreat. We had three adults and a newborn and it was a perfect size for us all to gather and still have our own space. We didn't get to use the game room, but it would be prefect for families with older kids. The house is on top of the hill with stunning views from both decks. It was a very short drive (less than 5 minutes) to downtown Julian but with the hot tub and games, you don't even need to leave. We'll very likely be back when my kiddo is a bit older and can really enjoy all the amenities. The hosts were great and made sure we had a wonderful stay.
