    Everything! Just Everything! The place the privacy the whole home the comfort. Wow Just wow! There are times in your life that you are just so busy and all you need was a quick get away from the busy urban life. You come here and you are treated to peace, comfort and calmness. Will definitely book more nights when we get the time to do so. Thank you!

    The driveway is narrow and you have to curve upward. I am fortunate my Civic can fit. Be sure to read the instructions.

    A nice quaint house in the mountains. It had everything I needed. You can take a stroll and there's a pathway that leads to the trail.

    We should have purchased groceries before arriving in Julian, as the two little markets were quite limited.

    Quaint, quiet location that allowed us to explore both the mountains and the desert!

    We are not new to these properties…didn’t need constant communication from host and/or booking. Alexa didn’t seem to go in this property. I would get rid of that.

    You'll have to climb some stairs to get to the home. Nothing crazy, but if you are travelling with anyone who has trouble walking this may present an issue. Also the bathroom is located in one of the bedrooms, so of you're travelling with friends they'll have to walk through the room to get there.

    This is such cute home. Perfect for a family or a couple. Kitchen has everything you need to cook with lots of cool vintage appliances. Great outdoor patio! We enjoyed swinging in the hammock and being in a quite neighborhood surronded by nature. Oh and the clawfoot tub was excellent!

    Everything was wonderful! A real time piece for sure! It has been taken care of such that it captures the era it was built with the comforts of modern day. The wood stove worked great for the cold nights. It does have heat/AC but we really enjoyed the warmth of a fire. The history of the cabin and the family who owns it is well documented; just look around and you’ll see it! The owners are so pleasant and accommodating. Note that if you have a bad back, you may want to bring a foam topper for the beds. this is not a complaint. They are comfy for a back that is healthy, but it’s a little “springy” for one that is not. I can’t wait to return!

    We had a few issues (didn't meet the hosts) - we were not given the code to enter before arriving, I had to call for it; couldn't find any soap, liquid or otherwise, for the shower; ice cube trays were frozen shut with frost; would have like a bottle or two of water just until we could get to a store.

    Extremely inflexible about check in/out times and cancelation. Even when stay was accidentally booked two months out, they would not cancel or refund.

    Very well stocked cabin, quiet. Very close to downtown.

    The mattresses were a little too firm for my bad back.

    The location was nice and quiet. It was dark at night, but we loved the stars!! We also enjoyed the memorabilia and antiques. It was nice to have a log to read and write in. The bio about the family and property was great to read too! It made it feel more homey.
