Perfect Mountain Home! 3 BR, spacious & clean with ping pong, foosball & games!

Note: Update as of 2024...we have changed one LARGE bedroom to two normal rooms making a THREE bedroom + separate bunk bed room. Our place is close to parks for hiking and biking, restaurants and dining, gold mining, the Historic Julian town and beer and wine tasting. Lake Cuyamaca is a short drive away where you can rent a paddle boat or test your fishing skills. You’ll love our cabin because for a mountain home, it has a refreshing amount of space for all to spread out and relax without feeling crowded. It has the perfect mix of vintage charm with modern amenities and the game room entertains kids and adults alike.

PERFECT MOUNTAIN GETAWAY! This is the home you picture when you decide to spend time away in the country. It is located in the beautiful wooded neighborhood of Pine Hills about 4 miles from the historic town of Julian at an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet. Various fruit trees decorate the property adding to the characteristics of the retreat.

Once you enter, you find a delightful mix of the old west and country chic. There are THREE large bedrooms and two full bathrooms plus a half bathroom. The master bedroom with an en suite bathroom has a king sized bed and an attached bunk room with a pocket door for privacy. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and attached large bathroom. The final bedroom has charming twin beds, perfect for kids or those who enjoy their own sleeping space. There is also a pull out queen couch in the family room.

The open well lit living room draws you in to a comfortable and rich area with couches and chairs circling the propane fireplace. The dining room just calls out for the family to pull up a chair and sit together over a home cooked country meal. The open floor plan allows guests to dabble in the kitchen while visiting with others in the living room and dining area. There are even counter stools, ready for you to pull up and sit for a while. The kitchen is a delightful step back in time, while boasting all new appliances. The sink is an amazing old washtub and the cabinets mix a touch of old and new. The appliances include a large refrigerator, a dishwasher and an oven/stove.

If you want a little time off to yourself, you can tear yourself away to the lovely sitting room with more chairs and a couch where you can curl up with your favorite book, work on puzzles, or watch a movie on the television (note: there is no cable tv). Although this already is enough for any fabulous getaway, throw in the huge game room in the back of the home. There is a full sized ping pong table, foosball, cornhole & plenty of sitting room and comfortable furniture for bringing the entire group together for real family time. Everyone can sit and watch the ping pong game, visit with each other, curl up in a chair or on a couch, and just enjoy. The home also has a large pass through window directly from the kitchen, so while everyone visits, snacks, treats and tasty delights can be passed through to all the guests.

And once the sun sets, there is nothing like the Julian sky at night. Without the distracting glow of the lights in the city, the sky is blanketed with so many stars that feel as if they are close enough to reach out and touch. Deer wander around the property, as do wild turkeys and a host of other wildlife. As guests, you will simply melt into the surroundings and find all your stress and worry floats away. A calm and quiet found no where else surrounds you and you will never want to leave the mountain.

Guest access

For stays longer than one week, we will provide access to the laundry room for a fee. Additional cleaning fee may apply for long stays as well.

Second time, looking forward to our third!
We stayed at this location in July 2021 and were delighted to be back in January 2024. The point of contact was helpful as we had questions throughout our stay. We had more than enough comfortable quilts and blankets for our very chilly stay, and the heater worked wonderfully! We enjoyed the tree swing and the game room again, along with the ease of traveling into town. Thank you again for our amazing stay!

Lovely place, but a little stingy with amenities (for the price)
My star rating is positive overall-responsive host, lovely and unique property, clean... However, the fact that the propane fireplace (not only a heating source, but promoted as ambiance in the advertisement) only worked for about two hours of our 3 night stay. The response was that "it might be out of propane...we have a deliver scheduled." For the cost, I expected the propane to be full! There was one roll of paper towels, few bath towels, no boxes of Kleenex, one sponge, few dish towels, little dishwashing liquid, almost no cleaning supplies...we had to have someone bring the items from home, which was not only a hassle, but annoying. The game room is great for visiting kiddos. Unfortunately, it needed some updates to its board games and ping pong table, balls, and paddles. It is a beautiful location just far enough from town to feel like you are a long way from home. This review is not meant to deter folks from this property, but more as feedback to the owner and manager.

Just a Jump from Julian
While most of the family was disappointed that we were not staying at the beach. They were shocked when i told them itvwas only a two bedroom. Reluctantly our trip began and i was very much looking forward to it. Once the door was opened simple entry with code no fuss turn the key and shocker there was so much room for the nine of us to spread out the first thing my youngest said was mom they need better pictures to market this place it is so nice it has a very neat set up and 3 bathrooms 🚻 😀 comes with all things needed to cook plates, cups , pots, everything be sure to read the description of all that is included. We left 108 ° heat in the desert to a warm but nice retreat. The host has books, magazines, and a large gameroom with lots of room for hanging out. Ping pong 🏓 and board games for all ages. The grandkids were pleasently surprized to see they had toys in there bunk room just off one of the bedrooms. Julian is a jump away 4 miles and there we had pie and sandwiches and shopped the local market. Enjoyed walking around. That evening we took a long stroll around the friendly neighborhood and relaxed inside and out. Directions of what is expected from guests are very easy to follow. No issues with reaching host as host responds to your questions promptly very nice stay. Thank you to host Joanna

Awesome Experience Inside and Out
The property had plenty of parking, great outdoor spaces to enjoy and an amazing game room to hangout in! The only challenge was to keep the kitchen sink working properly as there is no disposal and the water didn’t drain very well. All in all a great weekend, close to lots of awesome outdoor activities and plenty to do right on site.

Very nice place!
We were pleased to see that the house looked even nicer in person than in the photos! It's very spacious, with several bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a nice-sized kitchen, dining area, living room, large game room, and very comfortable TV room. The wifi Internet service worked great- there's good coverage throughout the house and it's definitely fast enough to stream TV & movies. We also had good cell phone reception (T-Mobile). The kitchen was well-stocked with cookware and utensils, and all the appliances you'd expect: Fridge, oven/stove, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, and a large sink. The weather was cold when we stayed (mid-November), but the central heat kept the house nice and warm. The home is in a nice and quiet mountain community, and we saw more turkeys and deer than people! We had a wonderful time at Jonna's home and would definitely stay again in the future. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing stay.

Quiet and fun home close to wildlife
Good: ping pong table, quiet bed rooms, stocked pantry, fruit trees around, close to lake cuyamaca, Eagle mining company (gold), saw deers, turkeys, ton of turkey vultures, great sunset near by. Bad: bed room pictures for the same room with different bedding make it look like more than one. Wish the play room has Enough light to play Ping pong. With play room has AC. Wish washer and dryer are available for guests. Please remove those pictures to avoid confusion.

Perfect Multi-Family Location
My husband and I rented this house for 2 of our kids and their families. The layout of the house was fun for the kids and easy for the adults with the play room right off the kitchen. The window in the kitchen allowed the adults to watch and manage the kids playing while preparing meals or even just hanging out. Also, the ability to put the little kids to bed early in separate parts of the house while allowing the bigger kids and adults to watch tv without disturbing them was key. We will be renting again when we have another family get together.

I’m so incredibly grateful for this rental
This cozy cabin is tucked away in a beautiful friendly Neighborhood. It came with a well stocked kitchen and was very clean. It was 95 degrees outside so the AC was a relief for myself and girls when we got back from our adventures. Thank you so much! The bunk beds are not comfortable enough for adults but for kids it should be fine. Also the bunks seemed a bit wobbly. There are 2 e-bikes that my co Girl Scout leader and I took a spin on. Very fun!!! The black e-bike has squeaky breaks that need a check but it didn’t damper the fun. :-). The owner is very attentive and easy to communicate with. I would love to visit again this winter with my family.

We had a great stay. The home is nicely decorated and had plenty of amenities. We enjoyed access to the electric bikes. For the size of the home I expected access to a washer and dryer which would have very helpful with children. I do not recall whether it was excluded in the listing. The owner refunded our pet deposit when we notified her we were not bringing our pet. We appreciated that.

This house was the perfect location for hanging out while away from home for a family wedding. Rooms were larger than expected, furniture was comfortable, things were well marked such as which light switches worked which lights, and the location was wonderfully quiet with an unexpected treat of wild turkeys wandering around. Would definitely go back if in the area again.

We want to come back!!!
This location was AMAZING! We weren’t completely sure what the furniture layout was based on the photos but once we arrived, we were so pleased. It was spacious and, aside from the rec room, extremely efficient with temperature control so we were all comfortable even though it was hot July-season outside. The rec room even cooled down and was the perfect temperature in the evening. We were able to communicate with the owner who was so helpful and let us early check-in (our groceries were thankful). The beds in this house were so comfy! It was less than a 10 minute drive into town - easy for us to fetch some much needed pies! We sat outside at night and admired the beautiful stars, and were greeted by turkeys and deer roaming nearby in the mornings. The neighbor was extremely kind as we cleaned and figured out the trash situation - Julian was so accommodating to us! We did this trip as a one-time thing but there’s already a strong desire to make it an annual adventure, and it wouldn’t be the same without our amazing location :)

We have a large family and I was a little nervous about the size, but this place is plenty spacious! From the moment you pull into the driveway, it is very inviting. The layout is open and it feels like home. The game room was a big hit and the kitchen area is fantastic. As you might expect, there is not much close by, and that was just what we needed. Great mountain getaway and Jonna was very accommodating. Highly recommended 👍

Awesome place to relax and have fun
The whole family has commented that this place has been one of the ones they liked the most, mainly because of the game room where both children and adults enjoyed, all areas of the place are comfortable especially the bar that is in the kitchen to enjoy of a good talk while cooking, a very good idea was to connect a window with the game room so we could see the boys having fun. The beds in the rooms are very comfortable, there is plenty of space for everyone and the place was super clean when we arrived, Jonna was very kind to us, and there was no need to call her, because everything was immaculately fine, and I just spoke to her to give her the Thanks for everything. I definitely recommend this spacious place. I almost forgot to mention that the decoration is very original, a mix of modern and old we hope to return soon Alexander Kennedy

Warm & Roomy
The directions and information given by the host was thorough and helpful. The house was clean and everything was in working order. You could tell they took pride in the home. There were little instructions everywhere so you were able to use everything easily. The house is only about 12 minutes to Julian and 30 minutes to Lake Cuyamaca, so very convenient! There is plenty of space, lots of comfortable living areas, and fun family entertainment. We got pizza from Julian the first night and ate in. Afterwards we were able to stay up and play ping pong, cornhole, and board games- all provided. Most rooms had tv’s with DVD players. We enjoyed some old school movies as well. Tried some fishing at Lake Cuyamaca on Monday, with little luck! But we enjoyed our evening with a steak dinner in the fully stocked kitchen. Tuesday it rained most of the day, but in between the rain we took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood and saw turkeys and entire families of deer. We got a pie in Julian before cozying up for scary movies. The heater works great! The beds are all comfortable. Plenty of linens. We had everything we needed. Getting in and checking out was easy as the instructions are clear and concise. We left a note in the cute little guest book, which had notes from guests since 2017! Nice place! Great area! We really enjoyed the much needed family time away from the hustle and bustle! Thank you!!

Snowy stay
This place was definitely spacious enough for our family which we appreciated. It was clean and looked well taken care off. We went in the winter and it happened to snow so it was super cold. The back bathroom was freezing cold so we used the front one for our entire stay. The back bedroom doesn’t heat as well as the other rooms but it was okay. Also, just know that sometimes the heat blows out cold air in extremely cold temperatures as stated in the book at the property. It’s fine if you want to stay in front of the fireplace to keep warm but that wasn’t for us. Overall, we had a good time and would highly consider returning in the warmer months to better utilize the game room and do some exploring.
