Blanc Cottage was delightful. I had some issues with the lock box/accessing the key, but Steve was very helpful & patient over FaceTime. Nothing to say but positives all the way around, from location, to decor, to comfy sleeping arrangements, well-stocked/organized kitchen, and easy access to shops/restaurants.My only suggestion would be to possibly install grab bars next to the toilets and in the master bath shower. as well as a railing on the 3 steps up to the front porch. My 88 year old mom was with me for our stay, and she had some struggles with those areas.

If you want a magical early victorian experience this is it!!I felt like an early settler with the charm of this sweet cottage, but with all the convenance of modern living.the neighborhood is quiet and the home extremely clean and comfortable. really enjoyed our stay.Here are some thoings you may need to know:1. No coffee maker, only kuerig machine so bring pods2. No closets or wardrobe (we were attending my daughter's wedding so we had suits and dresses). I was able to remove a few cups from the china cupboard and hung a few items on the hooks)

Charming Historical Home in great location

This home is filled with Julian Charm. Very quiet and outstanding location to walk the town. The A/C was great. Loved the big claw bathtub, however although charming there are a lot of fragile items in the home. Great TV's. We are in our 70's and the shower was confining, and we had to be careful as there was not a lot of elbow room and or grab bar.

Great stay in Julian

Stay was wonderful! It was like spending the weekend in a dollhouse. Height warning for the bathrooms, if you are taller. The room with the attached bath is tight quarters and the only one with a shower. The other bathroom is spacious. Ultimately, it did not effect how we felt about the stay for the short weekend.

Historic property full of charm

We absolutely loved every part of our stay at the Julian cottage. The cottage has been lovingly restored and has every luxury needed without sacrificing its' historic charm. It is only one street away from downtown, so the location is conveniently within walking distance from all of the shops and restaurants. Not only would we recommend a stay at this cottage, we will be planning a return stay.

A lovely home with vintage charm

This home was a delight for me and my mother. We visited Julian for her 86th birthday. It is updated and comfortable yet the historic charm flowed through the home. The guest book gave plenty of ideas where to visit in this quaint little town. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our return visit.

Fantastic stay in Julian

In Julian for a wedding and what a great find this place was. A block from town, so an easy walk when our other friends had to drive in from where they were staying. Decorated immaculately and stocked with everything you could need. Waters in the fridge and snacks on the counter. Easy to use Keurig with pods included for the coffee lovers. Very nice outside sitting area in the back that we took advantage of. Don’t hesitate to book here for your next stay in this charming town!!!

A Quiet,Cozy Home wherein the character of its origin ( circa 1905) has been preserved.

All amenities/ offerings are thoughtfully presented throughout…. Goodies, “in-case-you-forget “supplements , reading material, area guides for, “what-to-do. “. Very clean and inviting. I enjoy the quietness for inspiration and renewal as well as a daily stroll thru town and some venturing to area attractions. Steve is an EXCELLENT Jost.

Coziness overload

Very cute cottage. Enjoyed the step back in time with antique furniture everywhere including the very cozy bathrooms. The only thing we did not like was the Murphy bed, cute but not very comfortable. But it was manageable. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck at night and look at the beautiful starlit sky. Another great feature was the location with just a few steps from Main Street. We would definitely recommend staying at this location. The host Steve was very kind and pleasant. Rating at 10 out of 10.
