What stood out with staying here was how peaceful it was. It’s an adorable place and we felt at home and very relaxed. I wanted to set up a chair and sit by the pond but unfortunately, due to the cold/windy weather, that did not happen. Next time. It is walking distance to Main St. in Julian. Also, anytime we asked a question it was answered within minutes! Highly recommend this place!

Serene, quiet space with more than enough room for two people. The location relative to downtown Julian is perfect during the busy season, as you can avoid majority of the traffic that occurs near Julian Orchard Ranch and still access downtown Julian within minutes. Would absolutely stay here again.

Great place to relax. Near town, quiet and peaceful with everything you need. Little things like the vinyl record player and telescope made it even better! Stairs are a little steep and the well water has a bit of an odor, but nothing that would keep us from planning to return to this great place.

The spot was perfect for us! It was a great size and so close to main street - which is where we spent most of our time. We were able to go back and forth for any reason with ease, and even beat crowds in the mornings. The place was very clean and very private! We especially loved the telescope!

We enjoyed a long weekend at this charming and cozy A-frame. The kitchenette had everything we needed to make breakfast. We especially enjoyed eating on the small patio overlooking the pond and listening to the vinyl collection. Julian's Main Street was a 3 min drive away and Nickel Beer Brewery was a short walk across the street. The host was helpful and responsive. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Fantastic Secluded location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jason’s rental. The location was great everything was about 10min away or less. We could even walk to places if you wanted to. There was a cool back area where we would walk each morning. And a cool brewery right across the street called Nickel Beer. The stars are unreal at night even from the patio . We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you Jason!
