Cute, comfy, and quiet

This was my 2nd stay at the Storybook Cottage. It's far enough from Julian to be quiet, but close enough for quick trips to town. The cottage is well supplied with amenities, even fresh eggs and muffins. The cottage is cute and comfortable, I highly recommend it.

Pretty, cozy and comfy

Such a cute place, and in a pretty country setting. The cottage was supplied with everything you might need, including a variety of breakfast items, plus snacks and a few drinks. It is a short drive to Julian, but far enough away that the setting was quiet and serene. I felt so peaceful there. I hope to go back soon.

Perfect Birthday

Stayed in this cottage over the weekend to celebrate my birthday. The location was close to restaurants, shops, and wine tasting rooms. This is a cute and cozy cottage. The farm animals on the grounds added so much character to this listing. The cottage was well stocked with snacks, water, and delicious breakfast foods, including fresh eggs. Yummy! I would definitely recommend this listing to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Thank you Angela!

Cozy Cabin

Uniquely decorated, my week-long stay was pleasant and quiet. Clean. The onsite owners were very friendly and kind. Large, comfy bed. Comes with a stove and wood, but the wall heater was fine for those chilly mountain mornings! Note to people 6' and over, most of the unit has a vaulted ceiling, but some of the space is lost in the bathroom and tiny door off the kitchen. Well stocked with games, videos, kitchen utensils, and books. Very quant!

Cozy Cottage near Pine Hills, Julian

This cottage has everything one needs for a lovely get-away - full kitchen, bath, king bed, wood fireplace. It is even cuter than it looks in the pictures. There is a little door off the kitchen that goes to a small private patio with a table and chairs on the west side. We went out there to look at stars after dark. For walks, although it is beautiful country, the main road has no sidewalk and is fairly busy. Otherwise, the location was very good for all the places we wanted to visit.
