"Great place. I will certainly stay there again. The only issue was the hot water in the shower. It was only slightly warm, so I essentially had to take cold showers. Not a big deal in the summer heat, but hot water should be hot."

PREMIUM TREE HOUSE 1.14-Acres Hot Tub Panoramic Lake Forest Mountain View

10/10 Excellent
"The 'tree house' did not disappoint. All the amenities we expected and more. I think we got to see one of the world's largest pinecones ... those trees were amazing. Be aware that there are about 90 steps up to the house from the parking area, but once you are in, it's just wonderful. All the amenities of home but the feel of a cozy cabin. We didn't take advantage of the hot tub, but the porch and deck were so very enjoyable in the mornings and nights. It was also a very easy drive in to Julian and the surrounding area. We saw sooooo many stars and golden eagles. We can't imagine finding a better experience at the price."
