Hiking weekend
Cabin is in a great location. Beautiful views, close to trailheads and the lake. Great weather and great hikes over three days. Very enjoyable. Cabin also clean and well maintained. Sitting on the porch in the evenings was terrific.

About the host

Hosted by Herve Le Calvez

Host profile image
My name is Herve. I'm a scientist turned entrepreneur in the San Diego biotech community. I have been living in San Diego for 25 years bringing my children in Cuyamaca when they were still babies. As young adults, they love coming to Julian and surrounding parks. I'm an outdoor addict that loves hiking and mountain biking all these trails around here and in the Anza-Borrego desert down below. I am originally from Paris in France, always loved rural and mountain setting.

Why they chose this property

I bought this property to get something more comfortable than camping. It's a perfect gateway place 1 h drive from San Diego. It was first built in 1925 and transformed into a modern cabin later.

What makes this property unique

Waking up in the morning and looking at that view put a smile on your face right away. You can sit on the porch and watch deer and turkeys coming out right by the cabin early in the morning or at dusk. Weather is unique here, at 4500ft it's very cold in winter with strong winds (>60 mph) and 1 ft snow fall during a winter storm. Blizzard can have you stuck here for the day, even in May!
