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.

What a gem!

We stayed for christmas and had a great time! We brought out kids (4 & 7) and they thought this place was awesome. We had everything we needed there for cooking, etc. Main Street Julian was only a short walk down the street too. I would absolutely recommend staying, we plan on coming again. It's worth the price.
