Although just a one night stay, the cabin was perfect for a quick getaway. Cozy, clean, spacious and decorated with a wonderful collection of antiques and just about everything you need to make the stay comfortable inside out. The AC/mini split system provided the warmth we needed as the temperatures dropped after sunset, as did the propane fire pit outside. My wife and I agreed that we need to come back soon and stay for a longer period.

This is the cutest little cottage nestled in the woods. We loved the antique and rustic feel. It feels like you're getting a hug when you're in the home. The best was leavingn the screened windows open to hear the frogs and other nature sounds as you fall asleep. We could have used an extra night to sink into the comfyness.A criticism I have is yes, it's clean, however, the kitchen needs reorganizing. The cupboards are a mess inside. It's 2025 and the coffee they provide expired in 2023. The creamers were way beyond their expiration date as well. Every drawer and cupboard are packed with old and random utensils, pans, etc. It's all mixed together and doesn't look very appealing to use.This is a nice place. If a kitchen clean-out is done, this place would be fabulous.

What a cute, comfy cabin! My friend and I really enjoyed our stay here and thought the location was perfect for exploring the Julian area. The 1950s decor and books detailing the local history were fun. The host was very helpful with any questions we had (especially getting the wifi rebooted!) Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We enjoyed our stay! We liked sitting on the deck and watching the birds and enjoying the pleasant weather in the morning and evening. We were happy the air conditioner was on when we arrived as the weather was quite warm in the afternoon. We had difficulty finding the house because the sign is not easily seen. When we re-read the instructions, we then found the house. The parking is up a steep driveway so after the first go round we chose to park on the street. The bathroom is off one of the bedrooms, so it is inconvenient to use for the person staying in the other bedroom. The deck could have some of the boards nailed down better. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in amongst the pine trees!

We loved our little getaway to this special Cabin in Julian Ca. Everything was clean, cared for and very on point with the 50s cabin theme. John was attentive, helpful and easy to reach. He let us adjust the reservation last min and we loved reading about his personal family history and reason for buying the cabin. It was secluded, private but very close to everything in town. Just what we were looking for, we will definitely be back!

Lovely cabin for quiet evenings

We stayed for one night on our way from LA to San Diego, in the hopes of seeing some stars. The place felt like the lakeside cabins I used to visit in the summers growing up - no frills, but tons of charm. A place meant for taking things easy and slowing down. It was a little small for our party of 4, but that was largely due to my toddler (18 months) being frustrated by the lack of space to run around. The children loved the vintage tinker toys and dominoes, and the hammock.Once the sun finally set, we got what we came for - an inky sky sprinkled with stars. Unfortunately, our daughter was so tired she doesn't remember, so I guess we will just have to come back again!

I was at fault. I should have told John that my husband was a little handicapped. Lugging all the equipment up and down the stairs was a challenge but I did it. The cabin was wonderful and very comfortable to be in. If and when my husband gets along better, we would not mind staying there again. Thank you

Great little get away spot

Owners have done a great job at making this cool little funky cabin an enjoyable place to get away. It was clean and comfortable. Great water pressure, claw foot tub, decent AC, patio deck with a bbq and fire pit. We had access to a washer/ dryer as well. Plenty of clean linens and new mattresses (although the main bedrooms bed was a little soft for my liking) I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again..money well spent.
