The kitchen could have been stocked better. One item would be a set of mixing bowls. There wasn't a bowl even close to big enough to toss a salad. smaller sized bowls would have been very useful as well. The oven mitts need to be replaced.

We had a very nice stay here. We were 6 adults and there was plenty of beds, rooms and space for all of us. My favorite place was the huge balcony. Spent lots of time out there reading and being with family.

Add clearly marked outdoor trash can/area; add screen door for front deck; clean cobwebs especially in bedrooms; include clearer instructions on running dishwasher before leaving; add skinny coffee table in living/TV area (we used our cooler for a table); add directions to use TV and directions for upstairs shower (switching from tub to shower head); add nightlight for main floor bathroom; fix broken screens so windows can be opened.

Location was best feature being located in nice peaceful neighborhood enclosed w/beautiful tall trees but close to all the main attractions; house was clean and spacious with different areas to lounge and relax; outside deck off main floor for coffe/tea or evening cocktails; number of rooms/sleeping areas; kitchen amenities and appliances (was able to use all the appliances successfully); access to extra entertainment items ie, games, TV, puzzles, etc.

A deep clean and some cosmetic touch ups would have made the property more presentable.

The kitchen and bathrooms were lovely and the house had all the amenities promised and needed.

The kitchen wasn’t well stocked and some of the games didn’t work like the fusball table

Loved how peaceful it was and that there were many activities to keep one busy in the house and in the area

Problems with the door locks. Steps need to be better marked, no lighting in the evening so you cant tell where the last stair on each landing is. Need to get rid of the musty smell. She shoulfd try Damp rid for the basement. Host was helpful with key problem but it took time out of our evening. I would go back.

Cozy. Family oriented.

We ran out of coffee after the first morning. Pans do not have proper lids. The cold water faucet in the shower does not work properly. The billiard room is too small to play pool efficiently. The same is true for the ping-pong table.

We came for fishing and watching desert flowers. The location for both these activities is super. All the beds are comfortable.

Missing lights on driveway 7. There was no centralized heater in the house or in the bedrooms. That weekend at night was in the 30 degrees.

The location

That we couldn't stay longer.

The cabin is beautiful, it's got an almost fantasy feel like you're in a mystical cottage/cabin. It's got a balcony that is so peaceful and has a lovely view.

There are not 2 private rooms here. One is a cold, moldy basement that leaks from the ceiling when the upstairs toilet is flushed. Water got everywhere, including the luggage we brought. Soaked through, all of our spare clothes were wet. We had that mattress moved upstairs to the office portion of the loft (the host was very good about having that moved while we were away). The upstairs is a loft, and it’s very cozy — but it is not private. If a couple stays there, everyone downstairs would hear then. A foldable room divider doesn’t cut it. The pull-out mattress in the bunkbed room is not in a good place. We moved it to the reading room with the couch. The couch bed had a note on it explaining that it was broken (though this was no disclosed; I’m very glad the guest who wanted to claim that bed was unable to go with us last minute).

Good location. Lots of space. Good price. Lots of heaters and a nice wood-burning stove. We brought our own wood, but there is some outside in the shed too. Plenty of beds. 7 of us fit here. Very accommodating. We didn’t play any games, we just wanted a comfortable place to stay. This worked.

Amazing place with good amenities and comfortable space. The house is very close to downtown Julian (2-3 miles apart) and it is very easy to commute to other spots such as Lake Cuyamaca. We will certainly come back.

It was cold, the pool table difficult to use due to location, bottom bedroom was freezing, their was tricks on how to use the showers, bedding was old, old bathroom bar soaps were set out, expired teas were left out and one reading room smelled. The bricks leading to front door is potential liability.

The location was close to town in Julian.

Very good amount of space for a good sized party as well as close to a little town and lake cuymaca which helps percent you entertained

Stayed in August 2023

It smelled like smoke, super super dusty and dirty. Rotten cracked eggs in the fridge. Live wires next to light switches. Place was honestly filthy. We ended up cutting our trip short by a day to just go home it was that bad.

Location is convenient to Julian

just a little concerned abou that one area in the right corner where my dog could have figured out how to get out!!

loved the porch and backyard for my dog. couch and bed were very comfortable. wasn’t worried about my dog messing anything up. I am a casual person too!

The only thing we didn't like very much was the last floor because it was real cold and the doors that led outside were hard to close.

The were many activities inside the home the whole family could enjoy, including a variety of games and books aside from the normal TV watching. Besides the entertainment the home was also well equipped with everything you might need, like in the kitchen and bed rooms. This place is also pet friendly which worked great for us because we were able to bring our older dog who hasn't had a vacation in a long time. If only you could see how happy she was.
