Great stay in Julian

Roger was a great host, his property has an amazing view and was well stocked with supplies. Only detail I would suggest for the host would be a shower curtain around the bathtub in the guest bath with maybe an extended arm to have both bathrooms to have showers in it. Otherwise, it was a great location and stay

Amazing Julian sunsets

We couldn’t wait to see the views from this beautiful property and we were not disappointed. Nothing better than coming home and seeing the expanse of fields, trees and grazing cows. Enjoyed the sunsets by the fire table or from the dining table while playing games. Very comfortable beds and well appointed kitchen. Hope we can return someday.

Beautiful sunsets and starry nights

The view from the deck is amazing. We enjoyed sunsets and starry nights. The house feels private and secluded like a cabin in the country. It's close to Julian and Wynola, two areas we love to visit for pie, food and unique shops.

So clean with breathtaking views

Such a wonderful and comfortable stay. The place has all the cooking things you'll need and the most amazing deck, we even saw the Milky Way! We were so impressed at how impeccably clean the place was and the lovely furniture layout. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Location for Families

The location was just close enough outside the city for convenience, but up at a hill top with a gorgeous, quiet view! Fully stocked and well laid out for our family of 5. Lots of entertainment with the TV options, board games, and basement games. We enjoyed the back patio the most!

Quiet spot close to town

The house feels secluded and quiet yet is only a couple of minutes drive to Julian shops and restaurants. The views from the balcony, on a clear day, are lovely. Regrettably, we didn't see any of those until our day of departure as heavy rain and strong winds persisted for most of our stay, forcing our party to spend more time indoors than we'd hoped. This meant more focus on the property, than expected and while it is spacious and comfortable, some of the fixtures and fittings have seen years of service without renewal. For instance, the heating and cooling system is a tad loud when in use and the en-suite shower offered up little more than a trickle of lukewarm water at any given time. The host, Roger, is very responsive and helped, when asked, with a specific request that improved our visit.

Beautiful Views and Comfortable Accommodations

This was our first time visiting Julian where we came for a family wedding. We chose this home 100% based on the photos and reviews as the area was totally unfamiliar to us. Happy to say that the house was very comfortable and clean, and Roger was very easy to communicate with and very friendly. The drive to the house is through very narrow, winding streets and it’s located at the end of the street, so very private with no houses nearby.

A must stay!

This property is amazing. Great privacy, excellent location, with breathtaking views. We got 4 inches of snow the first night and saw deer and wild turkey while walking around the property. The house is clean, well furnished, and well stocked with cookware for a home cooked meal. Great communication with the owner, and be sure to read the black binder on the table by the front door. Lots of great info in there on the history of Julian. This is a must stay and we will be coming back for sure.

Snowy Weekend Retreat

Roger was great to work with and we loved this property! The location is great, very close to town and also close to several hiking trails. The house is cozy and comfortable, and the view is amazing. It's also nice that the property is very private with a lot of outdoor space. Our dog absolutely loved it! The only tricky part was the snow on the very long and steep driveway. Heavy snow is not that common in this area so it's likely not going to be a factor for many people. But if it does happen to snow, I would definitely come prepared with chains etc. The driveway is steep and can get slippery with ice and snow. That aside, we really loved the house and would most certainly stay here again. A fantastic place to get away and relax!

Perfect Wedding Weekend

I had my wedding in Julian, and after a cancellation of another property, we found Julian Sky. The property was beautiful. It was amazing to see the stars at night and wake up to coffee on the patio. My husband and I played ping pong in the basement and napped on the couch. The location was PERFECT for all the various events of the weekend. Though the house is smaller than our home, it felt so much bigger with the views of the valley below. We have already talked about returning (maybe this time with our dog). The hosts were communicative and easy to work with. The house was clean and well maintained, plus there were thoughtful extras sprinkled around the house that were much appreciated (such as q-tips and hair ties in the bathrooms).

Unbelievable View House

You have to see the view from this beautiful house to believe it. The drive up to the house is pretty exciting and will be well rewarded. It has a great floor plan, and is very clean, with a well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. I was very impressed that the solar power is a net generator to the grid. I'm so glad we came 2 days early for our nephew's wedding so that we would have time to enjoy this lovely home and the cute town of Julian. Thanks for inviting our dog!

Why they chose this property

Built in 2007 “Julian Sky” is a cozy farmhouse style home with wood burning stove and open format living, dining, and kitchen area. We have a full deck balcony off the main home with stunning 180 degree southerly views of the Julian area and Pine Hills. Spectacular sunrise and sunsets with amazing stargazing as well!

Inside the home you’ll notice vaulted ceilings with beautiful Russian elm wood flooring and custom tile throughout. We have 3 bedrooms with comfy new mattresses (one King and two Queens) and 2 bathrooms including a free standing bathtub with shower handle (not standing shower) in the guest bathroom and walk-in shower in the master bath. A tandem garage (2 cars) with attached basement area and games available including Foosball and Ping Pong. Fully equipped kitchen with bar island and dining table for 6. A comfortable living area that includes new Smart TV with Netflix, Disney + and Yamaha BT and Alexa activated sound system and fast WiFi available throughout.

The 2.5 acre property has a long private driveway lined with several mature Coastal Live oak trees. Great areas to run around and explore. The home is literally built into the mountain allowing for the incredible location and views. It is not uncommon to see wildlife including birds of prey, fox, and deer.

The long 200 foot driveway is mostly concrete and is steep going down and then up to the house. May be slick when snow or ice is present. If snow is on the driveway, must have all wheel drive or chains. Snow shovel and rock salt may be available in the shed.
