About this property

Pet/Family Treehouse style cabin in woods

FAMILY CHILLING/ RELAXING VIBES NOT PARTYING VIBES
NO PET FEE for first 3 dogs, please no cats
We went back to a flat rate for up to 8 people in 6 beds. The back downstairs room will be available after 9 guests.
Balcony deck is in the process of being rebuilt. It is best to stick to the back deck/ fire pit area.

Our single family home was built in 1979, just 4 miles from historic downtown Julian. Nestled in majestic oaks, our house sits just off the main road in a secluded hillside with views to the mountains. City lights can be seen from both the downstairs porch and upstairs living room. This is a family-friendly, dog-friendly cabin. It’s perfect for people who want to chill and not worry if someone puts their feet up on the coffee table. The house is fully prepared for people traveling as a family or a group, and with dogs. The kitchen is stocked with all the cooking essentials except the actual food although there is a good amount of condiments in the fridge and dry food in the pantry . We have plastic dinnerware for kids. Some spices are stocked in the cabinets. Dog bowls, treats, and other supplies in pantry. There is a dedicated kids' room with age-appropriate toys, a train table, farmers market stand with play food, kid-sized table and chairs, dollhouse, and a TV monitor with Apple TV and DVD player. I’m in the process of replacing the floors, the flooring at the stair landing is uneven bc I have the flooring under the carpet. UNTIL WE REPLACE THE BALCONY DECK please do not use. I’ve moved the furniture to the back deck where the fire pit and BBQ are
THE AREA- This place IS truly a beautiful and magical spot where wildlife is attracted to our front door. That said, I do want to point out that THIS IS AN OLDER CABIN IN THE WOODS AND BUILT INTO A HILL AND UNDER A CANOPY OF TREES, there will be acorns, leaves, etc that fall onto the deck.

Quiet, rustic stay near Julian!
We decided to stay here to celebrate my mom's 76th birthday. There were 6 of us with plenty of room for more. The place was quant, quiet and just want we needed for a long weekend. The cabin was close to Julian but far enough away that you felt the quiet that nature has to offer. Amazing sunsets and loads of turkeys to entertain us all, especially the dogs! Melisa was a great host and made us feel very welcome. I'd definitely recommend her place and will stay here again

The very special family Christmas
The house was very cozy and prefect for our group. We have dogs and they loved the yard and we didn't have to worry as the fencing was great. The host was easy and very easy to get ahold of as we had a question for her. the group voted we would definitely go back there.

Great weekend
The place was as described. I was rustic, but that is what we like. The place was clean, and there were a ton of toys for our grand child. There was plenty of blankets and towels and tons of plates and cups and utensils. Very nice for a big family get together.

About the host

Hosted by Melisa Sanchez

Host profile image
I purchased this home in 2003 and a month later the Cedar Fires came roaring through our woods. Most of those trees have been cut down which now creates a view to the mountain vista.
I work in the film industry in Los Angeles and love coming up to the cabin to relax and be part of the nature while having all the comforts of a home.

Why they chose this property

I grew up in San Diego and we would take day-trips to Julian as kids. I remember getting fresh baked bread from Dudley's and placing it between my brother and I. We'd make a hole in one side of the bread like mice and eat the inside leaving the crust.
We had family living in Julian so when this property became available we seized it. We find the experience being there like no other.....

What makes this property unique

We love this property! My boys have a great time swinging on the rope swings for hours, chasing turkeys, or spotting deer. Even though most of the toys at the cabin were theirs, they seem to have a new-found interest in them when we are there. They have all sorts of adventures on the property within the fence. We even rented a small Quad and rode on the trails Thanksgiving. We have many upgrades in the works but as always our focus will be kid/pet friendly with long-term wear and tear in mind.

We hope your family enjoys our second home as much as we do!
