This is a lovely property with comfortable beds and everything you need for a great vacation. Right in town for walking to restaurants, shopping, or the mine. Had a great time!
This home was beautiful! It was just me & my husband for 2 days, so we didn't use it to its full potential, but would love to go back with extended family.
The place was absolutely spotlessly clean. Beautifully decorated, and the location can't be beat. Walking distance to town in just a couple minutes but the walk back is uphill...not bad, just reminded us we are out of shape.
Definitely on our list of places to go back when our adult kids come to visit.
House is nice and very close to town. Description online was very accurate. Enjoyed our time in the mountains. Hurricane which is once in a lifetime for this area was no problem. House was safe and neighbors and community were very nice and helpful.
Clean, comfortable, and cool place to stay during unusually hot summer day
The place is as advertised. Comfortable beds - lots of towels for everyone. We utilized washer and dryer - that was convenient. We were worried that the a/c unit would not be sufficient for a super hot weekend - but it was - and there are ceiling fans in all of the rooms. We had an amazing pie from Julian Pie Company. Quecho is a quick walk down the street and had delicious burritos too. Very nice place to stay while in town for a wedding.
Very nice, spacious property. Tree over the driveway drops yellow, dusty pods all over the vehicles. Might be a seasonal occurrence. Everything else was great! Not a disability or elderly guest friendly house. Clean venue, hostess was very responsive and the beds were comfortable.
This home is located within walking distance to the center of Julian. There are lots of hiking trails to explore.
Our family included grandkids from 13 —> 21 yrs. No one was bored.
We were surprised by the multiple large gathering places inside and outside this home.
The home was clean and the kitchen is well-stocked with cooking utensils.
The owner provided detailed descriptions for the house and was easy to contact if we had a question.
Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to enjoy this home and Julian.
We stayed here for two nights with another family in April for spring break. Julian was such a wonderful, quaint town and we were so grateful for this home as home base. We walked into town 3x to eat Julian pie, Julian BBQ, wine taste and get gifts for the kids. Priscilla's place was perfect for our party of 8. She was very detail oriented with the check in process and the guidelines of the home. At first I was overwhelmed by the instructions but then totally understood the rationale behind the details! The house was perfectly equipped with great blankets, heaters in each room, towels, pillows and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment as we cooked breakfast and dinner at home. We appreciated the porch the most, at it was clean and perfect for sitting to watch the sunset and have coffee in the morning. Thank you Priscilla! Thank you Julian! We had a wonderful time and the kids had a blast!
We had such an amazing time. Everyone had plenty of space and we loved being able to walk to town. Home felt cozy and everyone said how comfortable the beds were.
We went to Julian for a family wedding. Great house, walking distance to Main Street and all the shops. Clean house, very comfortable to stay, outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee. Had a great time.
The property is as depicted in the photos. It was very nice and clean, with an amazing outdoor area for entertaining guests. The hosts charged us a 250 fee for hosting a dinner party, for which they provided 4 round tables and 32 chairs for our use.
