Property Description
Escape to the picturesque town of Julian and experience the tranquillity of our secluded mountain retreat at Lake Cuyamaca. Nestled in the heart of nature, this vacation rental offers a perfect blend of charm and modern comfort. Our home exudes a top-of-the-mountain ambience with warm wood interiors, a large fireplace, and comfortable furnishings. Whether enjoying a cup of hot cocoa by the fire or stargazing on the deck, the cabin provides a welcoming and intimate atmosphere. Enjoy the Jacuzzi spa while watching the birds or stars! The views from the spa are remarkable, too! Wake up to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, valleys & ocean. The property's elevated location offers a stunning panorama that changes with the seasons, from fall foliage to amazing sunsets. Only a short drive from the historic town of Julian, you have easy access to its charming shops & delicious apple pies. Yet, you'll feel a world away in your private mountain retreat. Explore nearby hiking trails, visit Lake Cuyamaca for fishing or boating, and discover the area's natural wonders.

Beautiful views The house was beautiful and welcoming. The instructions on how to get there were detailed which made it easier to get to the house. Going up the mountain to get to the house was a little scary for me but, after the first time, it wasnt so bad. You get used to the road and know what to expect. The house was fully stocked and labeled which was much appreciated. We didnt have to rummage through everything to find certain items. They had coffeee available which was a plus. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Amazing house for vacation 10/10! The house has such a beautiful view to the lake and the mountains. Everything is so clean. The hosts John and Sarah are so welcoming and so friendly, checking in on us a lot and making sure we have everything we need.

Quiet quiet quiet Yes the views were spectacular but listening to the quiet was glorious!Host couldn’t have been nicer so our stay always felt like he had our back any time we might need him which fortunately the need didn’t arise.

Much needed getaway My family needed a getaway from the hustle and bustle of our everyday routine and this home provided just what we needed. It’s such a cozy welcoming home in a gorgeous place. The layout of the home is perfect for a large family or group of friends. The views are beautiful and the stargazing is amazing!! The hosts are wonderful. They were communicative and friendly. We will definitely be back.

Landscape Artist of the Year We watch a show called Landscape Artist of the Year and even though the landscapes painted are mostly in England, we think this property's views would qualify to be portrayed! Absolutely beautiful views! And the star gazing was awesome! The response and attentiveness of the host, John, was exceptional! Thanks John!

50th bday weekend My friends and our adult daughters thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in the mountains to celebrate my 50th bday (10 ppl the first night, 13 the second). The views were spectacular, the beds were comfy, the fireplace was cozy, the kitchen was well-stocked with pot, pans, utensils, etc. We made the short drive to the Cushi-Pi (Stonewall Peak) trail and it was a great hike to the top. The instructions for checki-in/check-out and driving directions were clear, questions to the owner were answered quickly, and all communication was friendly. We definitely want to come back.
