About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Custom Built by the Littlehale Family

Enjoy our spacious, beautifully-crafted open cabin with stunning views across our valley through two-story windows: an instant feeling of retreat! You can also feel good about your retreat knowing that 100% of the energy used during your stay will be powered by the sun using our solar water and solar electric systems.
We also own a three-bedroom house across the street, "The Wildflower." As our family has grown we use the two houses together so there's space for everyone; you could, too.

The spacious kitchen, outfitted with new stainless steel appliances and plenty of cooking tools, lets you enjoy meal preparations without missing out on any of what's going on. The generously-sized island makes both a great work area and a good place to hang out. The kitchen includes a microwave, two full-size ovens and plenty of gadgets for your culinary adventures.

Curl up on the loft couch or downstairs in front of the fire for a restful getaway. Get a group together to play board games or put together a puzzle from our collection. Gather in our front room to watch a favorite movie on our 47' flat screen t.v. with Blu-Ray/DVD player. Spend a morning reading in the teak swing hanging in the oak tree just outside the kitchen window.

The two similar bedrooms feature queen beds, with luxurious and cozy linens (and the same goes for the pull-out sofas downstairs). The cabin is perfect for a family get-away, and includes a pack-and-play crib for the little ones.

Modern rustic tile in the bathrooms and showers compliments reclaimed antique vanities. The downstairs bath includes a spacious shower; the upstairs bath has a shower/tub.

A generously-sized balcony/deck spans the back of the house, accessed through two french doors. Teak patio furniture lets you enjoy this extra outdoor living space--perfect for morning coffee, outdoor dining, and stargazing at night.

The house features stunning custom work, including a rustic and elegant railing made from oak trees that grew on our property; solar water heating continues our commitment to eco-friendly choices. Whether you enjoy being outside hiking and exploring Julian or just want to stay indoors for a weekend of rest and relaxation, this house offers an experience of mountain retreat as soon as you walk inside!

Our home is located about 2 miles south of Julian's town center, and about 5 miles north of Lake Cuyamaca. On a beautiful hillside, it is a gorgeous vantage point for watching the seasons in Julian and has easy access to town and to outdoor adventures. We apologize this home is not pet-friendly.

Please park in the pullout in front of the house ensuring that there is plenty of room for our neighbors to get by.

We also own and rent a three-bedroom house across the street, "The Wildflower." As our family has grown, we are grateful to have been able to add this cabin that was lovingly built by friends of our grandparents. When we're able, we use the two houses together so there's space for everyone; you could, too.

The property could use some TLC. The property was unkept on the outside and needs some updated bedding and bathroom towels. One of the walls looked like someone smeared something on the wall that was never cleaned. It was near our wedding in Julian which was nice and had a nice view out the back windows. The property would be nice with some updated emenities.

Our family of five had a wonderful stay. We also got to explore Julian. Perfect place to relax and recuperate from our busy lives. We loved hanging out in the living room with cathedral ceilings which looked over the trees in the valley below.

It's a beautiful home, very comfortable. A relaxing place to stay on a rainy day in the mountains. We only took a star off because we had some issues with electricity in the kitchen and bathrooms, though they were addressed immediately.
