Perfect Spot!
The spot was perfect for us! It was a great size and so close to main street - which is where we spent most of our time. We were able to go back and forth for any reason with ease, and even beat crowds in the mornings. The place was very clean and very private! We especially loved the telescope! Highly recommend this stay!

stairs & low ceilings
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.

Minutes from main street, easy drive to Wynola. Property stayed cool and was well insulated and air conditioning was available for the hotter months but we didn't need it. Nice little field behind the place for the doggos and a brewery across the street.

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.

Great little getaway cabin
Spent last weekend at this cabin. It was very very nice. We had a great time. Weather was a little warm, but it was still good. Julian is a fun little town to visit with some Great shopping. Would highly recommend staying here. We will most likely stay again. Hopefully next time the pod will be a little bit more full. The nighttime sky was fantastic.

Very cozy A frame not far from Julian town center and convenient to Nickel Beer co. Jason is very responsive when contacted. Bed was comfortable and the open windows let a beautiful crosswind for night sleeping. Home is well stocked with all you need for a short stay. Loved that it was pet friendly.

Perfect place to stay
My mom and I stayed here for the weekend and it was great! I felt like we were the perfect distance from the busy area of Julian but close enough to enjoy all of it. Having a brewery right across the street was a fun option as well. We had everything we needed during our stay and Jason made our checkin/out flexible and easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy, upscale rustic cabin vibe
Jason was such a gracious host from start to finish. He was so laid back and didn’t have any crazy demands or lists of things to do, it was all so easy and user friendly. Check in was super easy and we just used a key pad and combo to enter at our check in time. Upon arrival and in person, the cabin was such a pleasant surprise and the photos online truly don’t do the place justice. It’s so unique and has so many personal touches and comes equipped with everything you could ever need from a telescope to kitchen utensils and salon quality products in the shower. The cabin was exceptionally clean, the bed was very comfortable and I liked that I was able to log into my Hulu account on the tv there too. The decorations are so cool too and really gives it that old school western vibe. You can really tell that so much thought and love was put into the cabin. It even has a soft water filtration system which is nice too. We brought our dog who throughly enjoyed the surrounding areas and taking walks around the pond on the property. There are also endless areas to walk and hike around that area which was perfect for us. The cabin is a very short walk into the town too, which is so convenient! We are already wanting to go back and can’t wait to plan our next trip to the cabin! We 10/10 recommend, it was just perfect and such a special and fun trip for us!

Dirty, Ants Invasion, Super Loud Air Conditioning Unit
Negative- 1. The cleaning crew did not do their job properly, specifically the bathtub, it wasn't cleaned at all, hair everywhere, I found Ajax and washed it before we could take showers. 2. Right after we checked in, we saw colonies of ants inside the house, near the entrance. I have pictures of them, hundreds.... We immediately notified the owner. He sent someone to spray Raid and put out ant traps, not what was expected from our vacation. 3. The air conditioning unit in the bedroom was absolutely super loud, we couldn't sleep, even with our 33db noise reducing ear plugs... it was very hot inside, 92f. we waited till 3:30am, turned it off then went to bed. When complained to the owner, he said it's not loud. My family was not able to have much sleep the 2 nights we stayed there.

Apple & Gold Mine Town A-Frame - me and my husband chose this property because of its proximity to the San Diego 100 mile ultra run with its start/finish at Lake Cuyamaca Recreation and Park District, Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and the heart of Julian, CA. The property, with its rural setting exceeded our expectations - spacious with all the comforts of home.

This place is amazing!!! Low-stress communication with the host, easy keyless entry. It is a cozy home, but yet with enough room to relax and spread out. The view of the pond right behind the house was very pleasant and a nice bonus to the area. By day, there is birdsong of all kinds, and by night, a symphony of frogs chirping will lull you to sleep! They got progressively louder from twilight until well past midnight. Hilarious and enchanting! Really quaint, magical, property. NO other rooms or loud businesses around so the solitude and double-paned windows were heavenly. Everything you could possibly think of was available - games, cards, fully stocked kitchenwares, coffee and tea service, binoculars, batteries, high-model telescope, bicycles, cold packs, extra comforters and pillows, a fun vintage replica radio/phonograph, etc. Even cooler is the small tavern, Nickel Beer, tacross the street! We met the guy that makes the beer, Ray, and the manager, Shawn! Friendly helpful guys. The list of craft beers was impressive. The few suggestions I have are easily manageable - need to clear away grassy area that covers up the address box. It was not lighted so we got a little lost turning onto the wrong dirt road. I will definitely be back. The slightly higher price is worth the beauty, charm, and serenity the house and location have to offer.
