VIEWS
Magnificent rocky mountains tower above. State parks and hundreds of miles of forested hiking trails in a National Forest surround this cabin. Area trees are estimated to be up to 400 years old!
THE FOREST
Our small treehouse Cabin opens to the outdoors for views and direct exposure to the forest. This exposure to nature provides a wonderful inspirational relaxing effect. Japanese call it 'Shinrin-Yoku' which translates to 'forest bathing'. The idea is simple: If a person visits a natural area and walks in a relaxed way, there are calming, rejuvenating and restorative benefits to be achieved. Studies have documented reduced stress, lower blood sugar, better concentration, diminished pain, improved immunity...
Taking in this forest atmosphere has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers have established a robust body of scientific literature on health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest. Many trees give off organic compounds that support “NK” (natural killer) cells that are part of our immune system's way of fighting cancer.

- "Loved the treehouse. Took my husband here to celebrate our anniversary and to view the meteor shower. Turned out to be the perfect location for both! The treehouse was relaxing. We had coffee on the deck nestled into the trees with a great view of the lake while listening to birds and squirrels, took a trip into town to visit the wolf conservation center followed by dinner, returned for a sunset jacuzzi followed by watching the meter shower in the dark sky from the lounge chairs from the “observatory” area.

You can also feel good about your retreat knowing that 100% of the energy used during your stay will be powered by the sun using our solar water and solar electric systems.
We also own a three-bedroom house across the street, "The Wildflower." As our family has grown we use the two houses together so there's space for everyone; you could, too.
The spacious kitchen, outfitted with new stainless steel appliances and plenty of cooking tools, lets you enjoy meal preparations without missing out on any of what's going on. The generously-sized island makes both a great work area and a good place to hang out. The kitchen includes a microwave, two full-size ovens and plenty of gadgets for your culinary adventures.
Curl up on the loft couch or downstairs in front of the fire for a restful getaway. Get a group together to play board games or put together puzzle from our collection. Gather in our front room to watch a favorite movie on our 47' flat screen t.v. with Blu-Ray/DVD player. Spend a morning reading in the teak swing hanging in the oak tree just outside the kitchen window.
The two similar bedrooms feature queen beds, with luxurious and cozy linens (and the same goes for the pull-out sofas downstairs). The cabin is perfect for a family get-away, and includes a pack-and-play crib for the little ones.
Modern rustic tile in the bathrooms and showers compliments reclaimed antique vanities. The downstairs bath includes a spacious shower; the upstairs bath has a shower/tub.
A generously-sized balcony/deck spans the back of the house, accessed through two french doors. Teak patio furniture lets you enjoy this extra outdoor living space--perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, and stargazing at night.
The house features stunning custom work, including a rustic and elegant railing made from oak trees that grew on our property; solar water heating continues our commitment to eco-friendly choices.

Please part in the pullout in front of the house ensuring that there is plenty of room for our neighbors to get by.
We also own and rent a three-bedroom house across the street,"The Wildflower." As our family has grown, we are grateful to have been able to add this cabin that was lovingly built by friends of our grandparents. When we're able, we use the two houses together so there's space for everyone; you could, too.
- "This was our first visit to Julian and to this beautiful home. There was plenty of space for our family of five and we truly felt at home in this lovely getaway. The home is well stocked with everything you could possibly need to prepare dinners, play games or just relax. We did a lot of all three!! My favorite part of the home is the large back deck that has an incredible view. And of course, the tall ceilings and windows which gives the place a very open, light and spacious feel. The deck is perfect to enjoy a morning cup of coffee and is shaded in the evening for dinners on the family size table. There is also a gas grill with provided propane for a BBQ. We loved being able to stargaze at night. There is one neighbor to the west (right side when looking out) that leaves their back porch light on all night which causes some light pollution, but there is still plenty of darkness to see hundreds of stars. The location is perfect, just two miles from town. Just far enough away to feel isolated, but close enough to make quick trips for dining out, shopping, or to pick up groceries. We were all very sad to leave, but I promised we’d return to make more family memories. You can definitely feel the love in the home and we are looking forward to returning again soon. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us! The Cope Family"

- "Cute, cozy cabin in the woods in Julian. We (myself, husband, and teen daughter) went for a two night stay. Perfect for 3 people. Really enjoyed sitting out on the large deck, peaceful. My daughter enjoyed having her own room with a large TV and the hammock. Lots of antique knick knacks. Close to town but far enough away to enjoy nature." - "Loved the cabin with all its 1950s charm. Great location too. A mile from main street Julian and not far from lake cuyamaca. John the owner had plenty of information on the cabin and what to do in julian and surrounding area. Would love to come back again soon. Luis"

- "I had a wonderful mom-cation in this clean, charming, and quiet cabin. Thank you so much!" - "Amazing views! Loved our stay. Small space is used very well. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the view and stargazing at night. The curvy road up to the cabin can be tricky. Just go slow. No AC but it stayed cool at night. The first night we heard some critter noises throughout the night which is to be expected up in the mountains. Second night we turned on the fan for some white noise and it was all good! Overall it was a lovely stay!"
