Perfect mini getaway
We visited for my son’s birthday and we wish we would’ve stayed longer. Dave was very attentive and responded to my messages in a timely manner. Dave and Lisa had a birthday card ready for my son, such a nice gesture, it was the perfect touch. The toilet seats are heated and my 5 year kept saying “my favorite toilet”, lol. Looking forward to visiting again.

Christmas getaway
We spent Christmas at the property. Sunsets and sunrises were beautiful. We saw deer almost every morning. The kitchen, dining and living room areas were comfortable for the six of us. Our granddaughter loved the drawing table in the game room. The foosball and darts were a nice touch as well. We really enjoyed the proximity to Julian yet being in a quiet peaceful setting.

Wonderful, Relaxing Stay
The views from this home are amazing. Stargazing at night is a delight from the deck. We enjoyed our family Thanksgiving in this beautiful home. Dave and Lisa were fantastic with communicating with us before our trip. This home was truly cozy and relaxing, a serene setting. There were many special touches, including the crisp, fresh apples that greeted us when we arrived. Thank you to our lovely hosts!

Fall weekend in Julian
The property is off a paved road and actually on a one lane dirt road. It is not a long distance that you are driving on an unpaved road, but as we were driving up, a large truck pulling a trailer came up, and we head to drive in reverse on a one lane dirt road which was slightly unnerving. It didn't bother my husband who was driving but it would have upset and scared me to have to do that. The house is secluded and on a hill, so great view! It has been going through a remodel, so the landscaping is not done. It just seems rustic and it was totally safe walking around the grounds. The AC worked great, all the comforts of home, gaming system for the kids, nice deck to enjoy.
