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.

Very nice stay

This little house is adorable! All of the decor are antiques or vintage. The surroundings are very relaxing. Definitely not accessible for someone who may be older or have trouble getting around. It was quite the chore getting our belongings inside, but other than that, it was very nice. Perfect distance from downtown Julian.

A quaint, cozy, and quiet getaway

This little cabin is filled with antiques that remind you of simpler times. It is a great place to retreat from the busyness of life while still being close to Julian and nice hiking trails. Communication with the hosts was great! Check-in and check-out were seamless. The cabin was clean and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Would recommend!

A Julian Wedding Weekend

We stayed here for four nights. A good friend of ours was getting married in Julian. The main street/downtown area is really cool. It had a bunch of knick knack shops. We tried the Julian Pie Company. It was amazing. The Purple Owl has great food and delicious coffee. John was a great host. He was able to help us add a night because I had forgotten to extend our stay.

When we arrived, the cabin reminded us of the lake cabins our grandparents had and provided such great memories. It is full, and I mean full, of items related to the past. That’s why it is named “The Time Traveler's” cabin. John, the host, was very responsive to any questions I had.

Cozy cabin in the woods

Cute, cozy cabin in the woods in Julian. We (myself, husband, and teen daughter) went for a two night stay. Perfect for 3 people. Really enjoyed sitting out on the large deck, peaceful. My daughter enjoyed having her own room with a large TV and the hammock. Lots of antique knick knacks. Close to town but far enough away to enjoy nature.

John’s cabin in the woods was adorable and just what I needed for a weekend getaway! The cabin was tucked away nicely and surrounded by trees so you could hear the birds. It actually rained on my first day but I didn’t mind at all because it was so cozy. When I wanted to get out the drive into Julian was a quick 5 minutes which was nice. I would definitely recommend to stay here and don’t forget to read and sign the guest book!

Relax, relax, relax

This cabin is extremely charming and inviting. The beds and bedding were both excellent. The deck and grounds are everything that I expected. John, the owner, was very friendly and prompt. The property is a 5min drive to Jullian's main street. All the furniture and amenities are great. However, the main seating area is a bit cramped and the couch/chair are not something you are going to look forward to hanging out in. These could be upgraded. 4.5/5 We had a wonderful time and will book again.
