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.

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!

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.

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!
