Vacation for Grandma
We wanted to take my grandmother out of town for a week, and she had a great time. The house was beautiful and well maintained. At night it did get down into the 30's and we really only used the pellet stove downstairs to heat the whole house. My brother was in shock with how much the kitchen came equipped with! And the communication with our body was above and beyond what i expected. It was a wonderful retreat, and we would gladly do it again.

Wow! Beautiful property.
This home was beautiful! It was just me & my husband for 2 days, so we didn't use it to its full potential, but would love to go back with extended family. The place was absolutely spotlessly clean. Beautifully decorated, and the location can't be beat. Walking distance to town in just a couple minutes but the walk back is uphill...not bad, just reminded us we are out of shape. Definitely on our list of places to go back when our adult kids come to visit.

OK House. Great Proximity to Town
This property needs some work. Doors all need repairs. Hard to close and get stuck. One of the bedrooms upstairs doesn't have a door so noisy if anyone is up doing anything. Quick walk to town. Nice front porch. Well equipped in the kitchen. I don't think I would stay there again.

Went up to Julian to watch the Perseid Comet shower. 3 couples of old friends got together and had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. It had everything we needed and more. Communication with the owner was great. Couldn’t be happier and we would love to stay there again.

We had a great stay
The house was super nice and Priscilla was easy to contact and communicate with. My only complaint was that the bedrooms were pretty warm, even with the air on. But it was on some of the hottest days in summer, so whatever. Oh, and BTW, there is no hot tub even though the listing says there is. All in all, though, it's worth staying here again.

Great Location in Julian
This home is located within walking distance to the center of Julian. There are lots of hiking trails to explore. Our family included grandkids from 13 —> 21 yrs. No one was bored. We were surprised by the multiple large gathering places inside and outside this home. The home was clean and the kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils. The owner provided detailed descriptions for the house and was easy to contact if we had a question. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy this home and Julian.

Very nice, spacious property. Tree over the driveway drops yellow, dusty pods all over the vehicles. Might be a seasonal occurrence. Everything else was great! Not a disability or elderly guest friendly house. Clean venue, hostess was very responsive and the beds were comfortable.

Clean, comfortable, and cool place to stay during unusually hot summer day
The place is as advertised. Comfortable beds - lots of towels for everyone. We utilized washer and dryer - that was convenient. We were worried that the a/c unit would not be sufficient for a super hot weekend - but it was - and there are ceiling fans in all of the rooms. We had an amazing pie from Julian Pie Company. Quecho is a quick walk down the street and had delicious burritos too. Very nice place to stay while in town for a wedding.

10 yr reunion for small cohort
We were a small group of 6 who stayed at the heart of Julian, celebrating our 10 yr reunion as graduate students. The house and location were perfect for us. Located centrally, literally in the heart of the town, easy access to shops and cafes. We cooked at the house, enjoying the home-feeling of all being together again. The beds were comfortable and we shared all rooms very easily. The host was easy to contact and was accessible throughout our stay for anything that came up. All we have as feedback is to align the check out time posted in the house with the time posted in the messages, and we recommend the 11am check out time (sent in message by host) rather than the 10am (posted on sign in house). It’s a big house that supports a lot of ppl, and we had to strip the beds, put clothes in laundry rooms, and other specific tasks which took extra time. Nonetheless, we would happily stay again and appreciate the host working with us to be able to rent the home and celebrate the lives and friendships in our group. It was special.

Quick get away
Went to Julian for a couple nights with two other families. House was in a great location, walking distance to downtown. Only complaint was the fireplace did not work downstairs (we were notified they couldn’t fix it in time) so the downstairs living room was freezing. The bedroom was adequately heated by the bathroom space heater. Otherwise, it was a great time.
