Welcome to Oak Perch Cottage, a peaceful woodland hideaway in Julian, California. Set among oaks and garden greenery, our two-story cottage invites you to slow down, listen to birdsong, and enjoy the wildlife that shares this mountain setting.

Start your morning with coffee on the deck, watch for birds moving through the branches, or bring your binoculars for a quiet afternoon outdoors. Inside, warm wood interiors, a cozy fireplace, and thoughtful family comforts make it easy to settle in.

The cottage comfortably accommodates four adults in two queen beds, with additional child-sized sleeping options for little ones.

Birdwatching at Oak Perch

Using Merlin Bird ID, we’ve identified 11 bird species on the property: Acorn Woodpecker, Oak Titmouse, Steller’s Jay, Bushtit, California Towhee, Spotted Towhee, Dark-eyed Junco, White-crowned Sparrow, House Finch, Red-tailed Hawk, and Red-shouldered Hawk.

Look among the oak branches, along the garden edges, and overhead. Bring your binoculars and try Merlin Bird ID to help explore the birds you see and hear. Whether you’re an experienced birder or simply enjoy a peaceful morning outdoors, there’s pleasure in taking time to notice.

Bird activity varies with season, weather, and time of day; sightings are not guaranteed.
