Charming and Cozy
We enjoyed a long weekend at this charming and cozy A-frame. The kitchenette had everything we needed to make breakfast. We especially enjoyed eating on the small patio overlooking the pond and listening to the vinyl collection. Julian's Main Street was a 3 min drive away and Nickel Beer Brewery was a short walk across the street. The host was helpful and responsive. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Great location
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic VRBO property, and I can't recommend it enough! The host made sure everything was perfect. The house was well maintained, clean, and exactly as described in the listing. The furnishings and thoughtful touches throughout that made it feel like a true home away from home.The location was ideal and had a peaceful view of the pond. Close to all the attractions I wanted to visit. While the town was within walkable distance and bikes on the property for us to use, it was snowy conditions and too cold to walk so we drove instead.The kitchen was fully equipped and the outdoor picnic table was a wonderful bonus, perfect for our meal in the sun facing the pond. Communication with the host was seamless; Jason was responsive, friendly, and offered great local recommendations. We enjoyed walking across to the Nickel Beer Co. which had amazing beer, ciders, family friendly and very friendly people and staff.There were E-vehicle chargers at the local library and 2 free Tesla chargers at the Orchard Inn (free before 5 pm). We walked the town and ate at Julian Cafe while our car was charging.Overall, this stay exceeded all my expectations, and I would absolutely return in the future. Highly recommend this VRBO property to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-located getaway!

Fantastic Secluded location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Jason’s rental. The location was great everything was about 10min away or less. We could even walk to places if you wanted to. There was a cool back area where we would walk each morning. And a cool brewery right across the street called Nickel Beer. The stars are unreal at night even from the patio . We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you Jason!

Great little place for my wife and I to get away and relax. Had everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Close to downtown. Clean. Cute. Quiet. We enjoyed spinning some records on the record player. Blast from the past with all the old vinyl. Liked the coffee set up. Will definitely try to go back.

Julian Retreat
We spent 3 nights here in order to hang out in Julian/Cuyamaca for a while. The unit was as advertised and was comfortable and convenient for our purposes. Being across the road from Nickel Beer Company didn't hurt either. We wanted to be able to go into Julian during the week without the crowds and just hang out. This was perfect for that. While it is possible to walk into Julian from the unit, there really isn't a sidewalk along the highway so we chose to drive. Jason, the owner, was responsive to text messages and gave us all the information we needed up front. The only thing I would say to anyone considering staying here is to be prepared for going up and down the stairs. If you're over a certain age or have small kids, this might be a challenge as there is no other way to access the unit. All in all, a good stay and would recommend.

Perfect Stay
This was a great little space for our stay. It's deceiving in size, it feels much bigger inside than what it appears from the outside. All check in instructions were very clear, along with the directions to the location. Jason, the owner communicates very clearly and it is so appreciated. We had absolutely no issues. We went went for Christmas and our kids had a blast, they are already asking about coming again. The location is very convenient. It's at the eastern side of Julian's Main Street, so you are very close to all of the tourist portions with out being totally in the mix of people/traffic.

Everything was great and cozy. The only issue was where we had to park, around the back area. We arrived towards the night time, and due to it being pitch black, need to be careful not driving in a bug dip, which needs to be covered. Luckily we saw it in time to use other pathway.

Hard to find yet Jason Kardos texted us through that. He was very patient with us even though he was in an airplane. Also did not realize how steep the back steps were as well as the wooden handrails. We are 69 & 72 so it was a bit of a problem. Did not realize on the photos it was like that. We had to get used to the A frame lower ceilings as we bumped our heads a few times. The inside was perfect though &a cute design.

Cute A Frame Cabin
Cabin is within walking distance to downtown Julian if you are reasonably fit. Jason was responsive and accomodating to our requeat for early checkin however there was a delay with housekeeping getting the appartment ready, but still worked out. The place was clean and comfortable. One of our party slept on the futon and it would have been nice to have linens provided. The coffee station was very well presented and varied. Only complaint is the door keypad needs work or replaced.
