Perched on top of a granite boulder outcropping sits this idyllic cottage for your magical retreat in Julian. Originally constructed as a tourmaline miner's cabin in 1930, the Cottage on the Rock was completely rebuilt from top-to-bottom in 2020 for the modern Californian. Rustic touches remain, but once you check-in you’ll quickly discover you’re “not exactly roughing it.”

The Cottage on the Rock is situated less than 1/2 mile from Downtown Julian and there is a simple walking path to/from town. The home is at a high point compared to other homes in the little neighborhood. Every square foot of the property contains either specific amenities, boulders or trees. The driveway parks 3 cars off-street easily. If your pet will be joining you, please let us know in advance. Thanks so much!
