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.

It was a great place for my visit to Anzo Borego State Park. Quick drive down the hill for all my activities. The town of Julian is perfect for a couple day stay. The entire space seems recently renovated and the host was very responsive. Will definitely stay again!

Nice little home base for a Julian area trip
I stayed here for a weekend of activity in the Borrego Springs / Shelter Valley area. The loft was nice and clean with all the furnishings you would need (though I used little of them). I really only used it as a place to sleep. Sadley, I have to ding it one star as the heater was not capable with keeping up with the 40 degree temperatures of the weekend. The inside never got much above 60 despite the heater being set to 68. Fortunately, the bedding is significant enough to keep you warm while sleeping, but it did make for some chilly mornings while getting ready.

Quaint, comfortable, clean and perfectly situated cabin a few minute drive from the city center. The cabin was well stocked with kitchen equipment, a barbecue and board games to play with the family. The view of the small lake from the patio was an added advantage. We would highly recommend staying here.
