100% of recent Hipcampers say the sites felt private.
Built in the 50’s it is sitting on 2 parcels and is over ½ acre in size. We also have 2 other cabins for rent in Julian for larger groups. The outhouse that you see was used when it was first built and now is for storage. The original owner built the house himself and it was originally on piers alone with no other foundation! There is a folder in the bedroom closet of the house over the years. The decorations were here when we bought it so we kept them to preserve the house’s uniqueness. We treasure this house which is nestled amongst the trees and has so many beautiful birds that visit. Many turkeys love to stop by too! If you hear the deep cooing from the monster doves (who are very shy) you can try to spot one. They are amazing. We really hope you love it as much as we do.

The bungalow was perfect for a short weekend with the family and our dogs. It was more spacious than I expected and had everything we needed from kitchen items to board games. We loved taking walks around the house during the day, seeing the deer, turkey, birds, and squirrels come to the watering hole in the backyard, and watching movies in the ‘theatre room’ at night. The town was also just a short 7 min drive away which was really convenient. The hosts John and Leslie were amazing as well - they gave us detailed check in notes, were extremely responsive, and even left us one of Julian’s famous apple pies as a welcome gift! We loved our stay and hope to come back, maybe next time in the winter!

Quiet, Cozy and Lovely Cabin
Stayed here for one night with my wife and young daughter for one night. Absolutely loved it. The decor is beautiful, it's quaint but with 2 bedrooms has plenty of space. The patio is large and we dined there for all our meals. Location is great, there are neighbors, but it's quiet and great for star gazing. I highly recommend this place and I would love to stay here again.

Great location close to heart of J
Great location - close to heart of Julian so you can pick up pie on the way there. Really liked that we were just off the beaten path at the end of a road. Had a hot weekend with AC to keep us cool. We appreciated the large deck and did bring charcoal for their BBQ. Nice shower and old style tub. Again really liked the fact this place has the great cabin feel with such a quick drive to The Main Street of Julian
