5 TV's Views!!!!
You'll be marveled with this 5br/3ba Tudor home located minutes from downtown Julian, walking distance to Nichol Brewing Company ( a local favorite) and 3 miles from Julian tasting wineries. Views galore of the town from the decks and upper bedroom, and you can access the Old Banner grade hike from the house.

As you walk in the front door, you're greeting with a grand hallway/mudroom with iron chandelier, a large buffet and and entry that leads into the Great Room.. 26 foot beamed ceilings, dormers , and huge chandeliers adds a dramatic effect but comfortable setting.

The main floor has a kitchen, dining, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and deck. The kitchen has a gas stove, lots of cupboards and counter space and is supplied with everything you'll need to cook your favorite meals and then some. The dining consists of a large table with scattered pillows that doubles as the perfect place to relax while watching the chef cook. It faces a bookcase with TV and overlooks the living area with massive 8 ft chandelier and wood burning stove. Next to the dining area is the sunny upper deck with bar stools and table overlooking views of Julian and oak trees.

Down the hall is 1/2 bath, full bathroom, 2 King bedrooms with 1 that has a shower, and is connected to the 1/2 bath. The beds and linens are hotel quality with 4 pillows on each bed and plisse. All bedrooms have windows, ceiling fans and gets plenty of fresh air. The whole floor overlooks the living area with views of the outdoors. The living area comes with games, more books, large overstuffed sectional, another TV and wonderful wood burning stove with 2 windows that look out to the sunny deck with views of the surrounding trees. The deck has dining table and propane BBQ.

Got kids??? They will love the media room with 60 inch TV. All the TVS have Roku, YoutubeTv, Netflix, Amazon Prime and all you'll need is your codes to access unlimited entertainment. Wi-fi in ATT Uverse and all TV's are connected. Here there is a bunk bed , a trundle bed with 2 twins beds, and a dbl size futon couch/bed.
Sleep, watch, play games etc... its separate from the living areas so adults can have adult time anytime.

Off the hallway by front door there is another section of the house that you can access either in the hallway or with the separate entrance outside. Here you'll find 2 more bedrooms... 1 large room with gas fireplace, AC, TV, VIEWS!! high beamed ceilings and 2 queen beds. Lots a room and another great place for kids to hang out away from the adults.
Next to this room is the Master bedroom with King bed that is attached to a large bathroom with 2 sinks and a large bathtub. The perfect antidote after a long day hiking or exploring Julian. There are 3 AC units in the house to keep it cool.
There is a large garage for your use, along with a big fenced shaded dog yard that is perfect for your pets. The grassy front yard is a great place to play bocce ball, have a small event, or just sit at the table away from it all.

There are plenty of areas in the house to spread out with privacy and separation between rooms.

This is a true Country Home, that will add to all the memories of your Julian vacation.

Privacy in a beautiful neighborhood
We loved the house and the property. So much indoor and outdoor gathering space. The house was very well appointed. The beds were comfortable. Beautiful views. Trees and vegetation made for lots of privacy. A very quick drive to downtown Julian. We brought our kids and their friends, and everyone had a space of their own.

Perfect Family Get Away
My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming home and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with a warm welcome and a seamless check-in and check-out process. The host was incredibly responsive and provided detailed information about the local area. The property itself was clean and thoughtfully decorated, creating a cozy and inviting cabin like atmosphere. The amenities were top-notch, from the fully equipped kitchen to the multiple comfortable beds with good quality linens. One of the highlights of my stay was the stunning view from the balcony's, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The location was ideal, nestled in a quiet mountainous neighborhood yet conveniently close to town. Overall, my experience exceeded all expectations. The attention to detail and the host's dedication to ensuring a comfortable stay made this Vrbo a standout choice. I will definitely be returning on my next visit and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and hassle-free stay. Thank you Sandy for your quick responses.

Great Place for a group to stay
This is a beautiful property! My husband and I used it for the weekend of our daughter's wedding and we housed 4 other couples-- family and those who are our chosen family. It's spacious, yet cozy, and we all had a wonderful time. The only issue for some was that we couldn't get the internet to work, but it was a minor issue and felt good to be unplugged for a bit. The property owner is so easy to work with and you can tell she takes pride in her property. A word to the wise: the driveway is very steep. We would definitely stay here again!

The House
It was a very lovely home. Just a few comments. The bedroom downstairs was very cold. The bedrooms upstairs which is 2 bedrooms with a common bathroom there is NO division between the 2 rooms and no privacy. Not good for 2 different families staying there. Needs a division or partian.

A lot of space
There were plenty of beds, the layout was odd. To get to a master bedroom and bath you have to walk thru another bedroom and what is considered the 3rd bathroom is technically accurate, but a small closet that was converted into a shower. Overall, the house is big enough, plenty of plates and such for everyone, but the pictures online are better than reality which makes for a bit of a let down in real life. There is a huge table in the kitchen that is perfect for meals and games for at least 10 - huge plus.

Family trip
Our family really enjoyed this house. It was clean and had a lot of room for everyone to sleep, eat, and relax. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook as well as plenty of toiletries, towels, trash bags, etc. It is very close to town, Nickle Brewery, and a playground for kids. We went on walks around the neighborhood and saw wild turkeys, pigs, picked apples, and enjoyed the beautiful trees. The only downside was that 2 rooms (the bunk room and double bed room) had no window coverings so the kids woke up when the sun came up or as soon as the woodpeckers started pecking the house. But overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stay here again.

The Wedding
Our son and his fiance were married at Milagro , a 25 min drive from this comfortable and roomy hill side country home. All the amenities we needed and more were easy to access. It was very nice to have a dining table large enough for us to gather around. Everyone had a comfy bed with additional areas to relax. Let it be known that the driveway is surprisingly steep.There are stairs from the street, also stairs from the garage into the house, stairs going to the bedrooms over the garage, and stairs to the media/bunk bed room from the living area. If stairs aren't an issue, there is no issue. You do need to pass thru the bedroom with the two queen size beds to get to the largest bedroom with large bathroom over the garage. We were staying with family, so we worked this out. This home was enjoyed and we would stay here again. Thank you to our hostess Sandy!

Comfy and Cozy
Our Daughter was getting married in Julian, at Sacred Mountain, so we needed a place that was big enough for us and all of our family members that flew in from many places and this place was Perfect! We were very relaxed and comfortable here. Plenty of beds and bathooms and we were all very comfortable! The house was clean, cozy, and relaxing! The views were a bonus and the neighbohood is very peaceful. We all loved this place and we really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Getaway
The cabin was lovely with all the necessities that you need and more! I really loved the location as it was very quiet and we met some neighbors that were very lovely and friendly! We had an absolutely great time at the cabin. We stayed for 5 nights and we enjoyed every minute we spent in the cabin. Everything was perfect and really comfortable. Also you can tell that the owners of the cabin really take pride in what they do and they didn't miss any detail on the cabin to make it look and feel like home! Really impressed with our stay. Will definitely come back and recommend it to other people as well! Thank you for this great experience!

Amazing Stay!
I can't say enough how I didn't want to go home! Why do vacations have to end!? Sitting by the fire, enjoying the views was great. I loved all the decorations and unique design of the house was picturesque. Beds are super comfy, big deal for a bad back person. Walking distance to so much - The Village, brewery, hiking trails. Perfect for us. We got snowed in and they were able to accommodate us for the extra day, so thank you big time for that. Sandy was was great at check in, going through the house, making sure we had everything we needed . Will be back when we can. Loved your incredible cabin. Thanks for an amazing 11 year anniversary!

10 of us stayed at Sandy's place and we loved it. Plenty of room in the house, the beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed and the location was perfect. There are lots of area to relax and the layout gave us quiet areas to zoom. We walked from the house to the Banner trail, and 1 day we walked to town. The house was clean, and we enjoyed the views from the deck. We will definitely stay here again.

Great place to relax.
This was a great place for us to hold our business retreat. It allowed for a more inclusive and intimate setting where we had plenty of space to stretch out and support the participants as they designed their next steps to make an impact in the world. Everyone slept well, there was plenty of hot water and towels, and the views were beautiful.
