Cristine's Cozy Cottage in the Woods - Close to Town and Pet Friendly!

About this cottage rental

Nestled in Julian, this charming cottage for £106 per night is a great option for your next break. Go back to a simpler time with a visit to this quaint 1940s country farmhouse, complete with a front porch that overlooks Volcan Mountain and a 1/2 acre garden filled with whispering pines, fragrant cedars, and majestic oak trees. I'll supply the lawn chairs for the ultimate in relaxation if you supply the wine from one of our local wineries. Or, if getting out and about is more your speed, come hike in our crisp mountain air, visit an 1870s gold mine, or feast on a succulent apple pie. This tribute to my own grandmother (with many of her vintage antiques and linens) is located one mile from historic downtown Julian and is at the end of a 1/8th of a mile private gravel road. Recently redesigned, this 750 square foot bungalow is perfect for a romantic get-a-away or for a small family of four who wants to experience going back to a gentler time. In the main house, there is a queen size bed in the larger bedroom, a full size bed in the guest bedroom, and a comfortable foldout bed in the living room. The cottage has the original oak hardwood floors, a quaint country kitchen, an outside BBQ, and Smart TV with DirectTV as well as Netflix, HULU, YouTube, Discovery Plus, Paramount Plus, Prime Video, and HBO Max. Plenty of private onsite parking. Julian is less than an hour from San Diego, so what are you waiting for?

The cottage was so cute and cozy. The theme is apples, apples, apples! Decorations were adorable! Chris left us snacks and goodies upon our arrival and she was in constant contact with me about trails and things to do. Very thoughtful and accommodating.

The cabin was in great condition with all amenities working properly. I'm addition, Chris provided some many coffee and tea options, as well as many food/snack items. The location of the cabin is peaceful and with great mountain views from the from porch.

The place is even homier than you could imagine. From the moment we drove up, we were in love. Walking through the door felt like going back in time to my grandmas house. It’s was so quiet and had everything you could ask for and then some. We even got a dog for the few days we were there (a neighbors dog but he walked with us all over the neighborhood). The hosts were very communicative and helpful and even gave us ideas of what to do. It was perfect for what we wanted, a little family getaway. We’ll definitely be coming back.

The cottage is decorated meticulously with attention to detail the cute little cottage reminds me of my grandparents house with the back porch. The coffee and tea amenities were fabulous we really enjoyed having that available. We were there with our dogs and they enjoyed the cottage along with the outdoor area. I'd love to sitting on the front porch and feeding the Scrub Jays. It's a quiet relaxed atmosphere. Wi-Fi and television are available for late night entertainment. It's close to Julian but far enough away that you didn't have to deal with all the tourists in traffic. Definitely will stay again. I can't thank Christina enough for the attention she gave us and helpful hints to enjoy our stay.

We enjoyed our weekend at this well appointed and adorably decorated little house. Quiet neighborhood yet close to town and lots of great hiking trails. It was nice to spend a weekend away, yet so close to home. We'll definitely be back.

Just what we were looking for. A place to drink coffee on the porch, A place for the kiddos to run around, a place for our family to relax for the weekend. Our trips to Julian are never long enough and this was no exception. Chris was such an amazing host...every detail from check in to check out made us feel so welcomed and special! The cabin is cozy, but plenty of space for the 4 of us to hang out, cook dinner, sleep etc. The bathroom is tiny, we were giggling about that...but it's just a bathroom, use it and go back outside! The porch was my absolute favorite place to be. My girls loved being able to play among the trees and collect nature treasures. We can't wait to come back! Thank you so much!!

Perfect location for exploring Julian and surrounding areas. Home is cozy for a couple or small family and the kitchen is stocked to accomodate home cooked meals. The snacks and teas provided were a nice touch, as is the apple theme throughout the house. Wonderful weekend getaway with all the amenities of home. :)

When we walked in it smelled like apple cinnamon, very pleasant! Super clean! So many things were provided, all we really needed to bring was a change of clothing and a toothbrush! Owner was also pleasant and easy to get a hold of. Not far from town.

Absolutely an amazing stay. The property is beautiful and and close to town but secluded at the same time. My wife and I love this property and cottage and can't wait to return for another stay. The communication with the owners was as excellent. They told us everything we needed to know. Can't wait to go back.

We had a great stay at Cristine's Cozy Cottage. It is a very nostalgic venue but is well maintained. The Apple theme is very well done. There was only two of us, but could easily accommodate four. The kitchen has enough room, but the attached pantry is *very* roomy - you can store your stuff like coolers and backpacks and still walk around in it. The back yard is pretty large with plants and trees - great for outside relaxing. We had excellent Spring weather and didn't need any heating or cooling, but there is a heater and air conditioning. We couldn't have been happier with the accommodations.

We had a wonderful time staying in Julian at Cris’ cabin! We had ample room for just the two of us, plus our (very large) dog. The cabin so pretty, like something out of a magazine! And Cris keeps the cabin well stocked with lots of food and snacks! She was super helpful in terms of suggestions for places to go and activities to do with our dog. We would definitely love to stay at Cris’ cabin if we ever stay in Julian again!

We had such a nice time. The cottage is very cute and cozy. Everything was clean and our stay was very comfortable. We loved the vintage decor too. The property owner was very responsive and had great recommendations for restaurants and activities, and the property manager answered texts promptly while we were staying there. It's about a 3-5 minute drive to town, but well out of the way of tourist traffic. It was dog friendly, so we brought our dog too. He had a great time. I would definitely stay here again. All around a great experience.

The cabin was cozy and perfect for our small family. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had a quiet Thanksgiving holiday. It was very windy though when we were there. Communication with the owners and property manager were excellent. Everyone was very responsive and helpful. This is one of the few properties we would love to return in the future.

My family and I had the pleasure of staying up here for the summer. Cris was great to work with and always took care of everything that was needed. The property was well maintained and we had everything we needed in the cottage. My kids loved it. They are 3 and 6 so sleeping in one room was no issue. We did some star gazing sitting out on the back hill extremely peaceful and relaxing. And when you are lucky enough to catch a cool summer night the front porch is a great spot to enjoy some fresh air. I would definitely recommend this place.

First, Cristine was LOVELY to deal with on phone, creating a good feeling from the start. She was also very helpful in that i am allergic to perfumed cleaning products so did my bedding and towels in fragrance free and the house, too. The property was clean and well maintained. The setting is in a very quiet side of Julian, and little neighborhood of what seem like some vacation homes some folk who live there, but it was very very quiet. The three dogs that live accross the way are friendly and dont bark. My dog loved them. Fast friends. The kitchen was excellent with everything you need. The bed was great. I also have the curse of a bad back, and i slept like a baby in the room with the firm mattress. Overall a wonderful peaceful vacation surrounded by trees. Thank you Cristine!

Cristine, When I saw your listing and pictures I thought that this would be the perfect place to take my wife that recently had cancer surgery. Turns out I was right. She loved it. She liked the setting, the cottage, the decorations and the fact that she could sleep extremely well because of the quiet. I knew she would like sitting on the front porch and she spent much time there listening to the wind in the trees. We also picked a great time of the year to go. The weather was perfect for us and Julian was an old friend that made us thankful that we remembered her. The kind offer that you extended to us is much appreciated and will be utilized often. Respectfully, Jack Klemstein

My husband and I spent our 41st anniversary at the cottage and it was amazing! It was like stepping back in time. The cottage was very quiet and peaceful. It really provided a healing environment for me after just going through cancer surgery and treatment. It is clean and cozy. The owner was thoughtful and made sure to provide everything that we needed. I loved waking up to a warm fire in the wood stove that my husband had made to take the chill off and I loved rocking on the front porch while I drank hot tea. We enjoyed walking around town, shopping and eating at the diners as well as cooking at the cottage. If you enjoy stepping back in time then is the place for you. We're already planning to go back as soon as we can!
