Big Birthday Family Celebration Weekend
The Julian Farmhouse was the perfect setting for our three-generation family celebration for grandma's big birthday. The house is large, quiet, secluded, and peaceful, yet quite close to Julian. The pool table was a hit, always in use during waking hours. We enjoyed using the spa several times. We took advantage of the surrounding hiking trails, went out at night to be awe-inspired by the stars, and could even see the Milky Way. We had great family chats on the back deck, cooked a few meals in the the spacious kitchen, and enjoyed the fireplace. The beds were comfy, and the fresh spring water was a treat.

Private quiet spacious getaway.
Overall, the experience was very nice. The beds were awesome. The water from the faucets were very drinkable. We love the property. Communication with the owner was excellent. A big minus was we could not access Netflix or any type of movies. There was no information left to do that if that was available. Had we known we would've brought up CDs or videos. The bulb in my nightstand lamp was burned out Upstairs.

Wonderful weekend mountain getaway
We loved this house so much we rented it again. The house was very accommodating for our needs. We needed a house that had a bedroom on the same floor as the kitchen and living area. This house is very comfortable for a large family. We had 8 in our group, with the fire place, pool table and large dining table, this allowed for plenty of entertaining. We really enjoyed our stay.

Could have been better
House was clean but old and run down (peeling paint, old drawers and doors hard to open). Looks as though owners are in process of remodeling. No central heat or air although space heaters were provided and there were wall heaters in the bathrooms (be careful with kids, my five year-old burned himself when he got too close). Picture in listing was mid-leading: the pretty green lawn was just mud (probably due to all the rain). I didn’t receive any instructions from owners until I messaged the night before we were supposed to check in. We had an unpleasant issue with owners where they had scheduled workmen to come the day we left and they were unwilling to reschedule. Because of this we were woken up at 7:30 am with a truck and workmen on the property and then lost power shortly after; the owners provided a small generator so we had running water. After arguing with the owner we were refunded a small amount money. I will not be returning or renting from this couple again and would not reccomend to others.

Loved our End of January Stay at the Farmhouse!
Eileen and Tom were amazing hosts and we loved our stay at their wonderful home in Julian. The reviews and postings were all as stated~Great! We were a group of 12 celebrated our daughter's birthday with our close friends and their awesome grandkids, 4years and 8months. Everyone loved eating together in the dining room, playing pool, enjoying the view from every window. Also cuddling by the cozy fire was also amazing! We went into town and gave gold panning a whirl and returned to seeing deers right outside our kitchen window. Everyone loved hiking and my daughter and I enjoyed a mother and daughter jacuzii together the night before we left. We will be back, and hopefully for snow next time! Thank You Eileen and Tom!

Lovely Cabin
We had a very lovely stay in this cozy cabin! Our kids had a blast, they loved playing pool and curling up on the couches to watch a movie. We loved that there were lots of beds in each room, our kids loved each having their own bed! We got to see lots of deer while eating breakfast, that was a wonderful sight to see! The owner was super helpful with any questions we had and always answered the phone or texted us back right away! Would love to stay here again!

B's Family Vacation
The living room layout provided space for all ages to spread out. The weather was cold; temperatures were in the 50's during the day and very windy . Individual heating for each bedroom was great. The bedding kept us warm, the hot water for showers was plentiful. A few negatives include the huge marble coffee table that merited careful watching over the 2 and 1 year old kiddos so they didn't bang their heads. We would suggest an inside blind or outside awning over the dining room window as the sun beat in until after 1:00. There weren't instructions for the oven, we eventually figured it out. Instructions would have been helpful. Please replace batteries in the remote controls for the TV as they didn't work. Overall, the surrounding area and views were incredible. Our family had a wonderful time. We thought that the terrific views were diminished by the old wire fences and other construction. Our family spent most of the time inside, because of the weather. I'm not sure we would rent in the summer or spring. Thank you for making your property available to us.

About the host

Hosted by Eileen Lay

Host profile image
Tom and I grew up in England, we came to the US in 1983 for what we thought was going to be a 2 year work opportunity but we fell in love with San Diego and decided to make this area our home. We have lived in the US longer than we lived in England and both our kids were born and raised here. We discovered Julian in the early 90s when we lived in Escondido and Tom decided he wanted to build custom homes in the area so we moved here in 1999.

Why they chose this property

We moved into this beautiful Julian ranch property in 2003 as we wanted more open space, and the farmhouse with its old world charm and mid 20th century roots held a special place in our hearts as the original family homestead where our children could grow up.
We have since built another house on the property which we now live in and we saw a unique opportunity to share this beautiful property and all that it offers with others wanting to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

This property with its 55 acres of space is a place where you can definitely unwind and leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind , its location in the foothills of Volcan Mountain Preserve ensures you will have all the peace and quiet you desire and not be overlooked.
The property has a history, there was a goldmine built into the mountain but we've not been able to discover if any gold was found here, although for safety purposes the mine workings are no longer open.
However there are many natural springs and we are using these springs today so the water is the purest you'll ever taste.If you like hiking and being outdoors this property offers hours of interesting walks through meadows, forests and creeks and of course never ending views.
