Beautiful house!

Went up to Julian to watch the Perseid Comet shower. 3 couples of old friends got together and had a wonderful time at this beautiful house. It had everything we needed and more. Communication with the owner was great. Couldn’t be happier and we would love to stay there again.

Wow! Beautiful property.

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.

Great family stay

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!

Vacation for Grandma

We wanted to take my grandmother out of town for a week, and she had a great time. The house was beautiful and well maintained. At night it did get down into the 30's and we really only used the pellet stove downstairs to heat the whole house. My brother was in shock with how much the kitchen came equipped with! And the communication with our body was above and beyond what i expected. It was a wonderful retreat, and we would gladly do it again.

We had a great stay

The house was super nice and Priscilla was easy to contact and communicate with. My only complaint was that the bedrooms were pretty warm, even with the air on. But it was on some of the hottest days in summer, so whatever. Oh, and BTW, there is no hot tub even though the listing says there is. All in all, though, it's worth staying here again.
