Julian Farmhouse/Fenced 2 acres with spa, right outside Julian. Pet Friendly!

Welcome to the Julian Farmhouse—a peaceful retreat nestled in two fully fenced acres in the San Diego mountains. This two-story, three-bedroom farmhouse is the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Inside, you’ll find a spacious family room anchored by a cozy wood burning fireplace, a welcoming dining room for shared meals, and a farmhouse-style kitchen that makes cooking a joy.

Step outside and you’ll discover that the property is just as inviting as the home itself. You can enjoy a glass of wine or hot cup of coffee knowing your dogs will love the freedom to safely run, play, and explore the wide-open grounds, and your family and children can enjoy classic outdoor fun with a tire swing and a game of horseshoes under the open sky.

Step into the attached garage and you’ll quickly realize this is so much more than just a place to park the car—it’s a cozy retreat designed for fun, relaxation, and togetherness. Tucked inside, you’ll find a luxurious infrared dry sauna, perfect for unwinding after a day of adventure. Just a few steps away, a pool table invites a friendly game, while a dartboard and a giant Connect Four set promise plenty of laughs and competition for all ages.

What makes this space truly special is its seamless connection to the outdoors. The wide garage door rolls open to let in the fresh mountain air, so you can enjoy the scenery while staying sheltered and comfortable—even on a rainy day or during a gentle snowfall. Whether it’s gathering for a spirited game night, savoring the warmth of the sauna, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings, this garage transforms into a charming hub of relaxation and entertainment no matter the season.

If you are looking for even more room to relax, welcome to The Roost!
The Roost is a charming converted barn designed for comfort and fun. Inside, you’ll find ample cozy seating gathered around a warm, wood-burning potbelly stove. Enjoy a game of shuffleboard or poker, browse the library, or pick from a large collection of movies for a relaxing night in. The space is filled with antiques and quirky treasures, offering fun things to discover around every corner, making every visit a delight.

We’re just five minutes from downtown Julian, but you’ll feel a world away. Surrounded by open skies, rolling hills, and the quiet of nature, it’s the perfect basecamp for stargazing, sipping wine, or warming up by the firepit after a day of adventure.

The Julian Farmhouse is a timeless retreat where family, friends, and furry ones can relax, recharge, and make lasting memories together.

We stayed here during the summer and liked it so much we wanted to come back in the winter/spring. It was just as wonderful! We loved the fireplace and we were able to use it since it had just snowed and was chilly outside.

Second time staying here and would happily do it again!

This was our second stay here for a small reunion of family and friends. Just as magnificent as our first stay, if not better. The place is so well appointed and home-y because they have thought of everything. Family style meals with a well appointed kitchen are a breeze. The hot tub, sauna, pool table, shuffleboard, and lovely grounds keep everyone happy and individually satisfied. We found it difficult to leave for our daily outings because the experience of being there day and night is so pleasant. Many, many thanks. See you next time.

Everything about our stay was wonderful! The house is beautiful, comfortable, and well stocked! The property is equally beautiful, and as much as we enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the birds, our dogs enjoyed it even more. The converted garage and barn set this property apart from all others! We can't wait to go back

Relaxing & fun farmhouse!

This farmhouse in Julian was as-advertised. Very cozy and comfortable inside, with lots of games both in the house and the out-building, and a well-appointed kitchen. If you have dogs, the property is great for them to run around. Owners were friendly and prompt in communication.

Perfect family getaway

We are a family of 4 adults and we brought our dog. It was perfect! The house is charming and well stocked and met all our needs. Our dog LOVED the huge yard and we had perfect weather. The house is an easy 5 minute drive to town but we rarely left the house as we cooked and enjoyed the fire We did puzzles, watched movies and played games. The Roost game room was so cool! We didn’t spend too much time there but probably would have if we stayed longer.
