Award-Winning AFrame Chalet |Cedar HotTub + Views

RachelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My family and I had such a wonderful time staying here during memorable day weekend. There was something for all of us to do. We fished at lake every day, a big plus for my husband as it was just a few short minutes away from the front door, to the quality time we had inside the house playing pool, to the top tier coffee machine that allowed me cozy mornings on the patio listening to the birds with my husband, to the smores we made outside at the fire pit while gazing at the stars. The house is so beautiful and inviting, curated with such an eye for detail and warmth. We truly cannot thank you enough for sharing your home with us and we cannot wait to visit again soon one day.

Unique Mountain Gem: Sauna ~ Hot Tub ~ Scenic View

MalikRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Neil and Bonnie's retreat cottage was truly an amazing experience! From the moment we made the reservation to the time we left we felt well taken care of . Word can't describe the true beauty of this place it is a must see and stay! Very peaceful and relaxing experience. Just a 2 mile drive and you're in downtown Julian, where we had a good hearty breakfast at the Julian Cafe and Bakery. Volcan Retreat is everything stated the the description but more. Clean, quiet, and private a perfect place for a romantic getaway but also a place for the family. We will definitely be staying here again this I believe is even more beautiful in the snow.

Peaceful Cabin/Mnt. Views/King Bed/5 min. to town

JamieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a beautiful cabin and stay in Julian. The home has everything you need with clear information and local recommendations. We had a warmer weekend and although no central air, the open windows and plenty of fans cooled everything down, especially at night. My in laws loved the home and used the TV, we didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to have everyone one would need! We did have coffee every morning and enjoyed the view. We would stay here again if we ever come back to Julian.

Casa Blanca

Michelle ElaineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay at "Casa Blanca"! Marina was a great host. The view from the deck/living room and Master was just beautiful with a wonderful breeze! Everything was just as listed, high speed internet, clean and appliances in excellent working order. Lots of very hot water too! Very private and peaceful and we felt very relaxed and at home. Master bed was comfortable and the home is very close to the lake, tackle shop, boat launch and the Lake's local restaurant, as well as, a short drive into town where "Mom's Apple Pie" was a must along with a little "touristy" shopping! We were lucky to have encountered a gaggle of wild turkey visiting the front driveway into the upper hill while we were here too. Thank you Marina!

Your guide to Julian

All About Julian

Located in the Cuyamaca Mountains northeast of San Diego, the small town of Julian was established during the Gold Rush by two Civil War veterans hoping to strike it rich in this lush valley. Before long the gold dried up and they were left with fertile soil, perfect for farming. Today, Julian is well-known for its delicious apples and mouth-watering apple pie, and the area is a popular day-trip destination for San Diegans, who come to visit the apple orchards.

Julian is home to just over 1,500 people, and features a main street lined with locally-owned businesses and art galleries in low-slung buildings from the late 1800s. The town is also located just off of the famous Pacific Crest Trail and is a gateway for the stunning Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Nearby areas provide ample opportunities for hiking, biking, and horseback riding.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Julian

With mild weather year-round, there is no bad time to book a vacation home or cabin in Julian. Summers are the hottest time of the year, but the days are long, giving you plenty of time for outdoor activities like hiking and horseback riding. One of the highlights in summer is Julian’s Fourth of July Parade, which involves a flyover of military training planes, live performances from various marching bands, and a selection of vendors for shopping and eating. During the spring and fall, the temperatures drop a bit and the town comes alive with special events including Gold Rush Days in April, the Julian Grape Stomping Festa in September, and many fall harvest celebrations. While the winters can get a bit chilly, this is the quietest time of the year, when it can feel like you have the hiking trails all to yourself.
