About this house rental
Looking for your escape? Have fun playing in the game-room, taking in the incredible unobstructed views, and watching the wildlife venture by! We have WIFI internet, so you can stay connected during your get-away.
This beautiful, fully stocked home has an amazing view of Lake Cuyamaca and is a short drive to the historic gold mining town of Julian. The house features two queen beds and 4 twin beds. A large kitchen and dining area is ideal for cooking and gathering together with direct access to the redwood deck which stretches the front length of the house, great for enjoying the unobstructed views. Both the master bedroom and the loft have views of the lake. A fireplace is found in the family room, along with a HDTV, Roku media streamer in "guest mode" (you use your own streaming accounts), Blu-Ray/DVD player, and surround-sound audio system with bluetooth receiver. We have over-the-air HDTV and wireless internet, but not cable/dish. In the basement you will find the game room, where everyone wants to spend their time shooting pool, playing air hockey, foosball, a vintage Super Nintendo gaming system, or many of the table games. Younger kids will love setting up giant Brio train sets or using their imagination as they build fantasy worlds with the buckets of toys available to them.
A washer and dryer are also located in the basement.
The kitchen is fully stocked with all standard utensils, cookware, and appliances. Linens are also provided for your use.
We have central air and heating, but all times of the year offer something unique. Fall and winter are the most popular for the local San Diegans to visit the mountains due to the fall colors and 'Apple Days' in Julian, and the snow and cold weather that can come with winter. Spring can be beautiful as the hills turn deeply green and flowers are in abundance, and summer offers warm evenings that are easily spent on the deck marveling at all the stars which you just can't see from urban areas.
Please be aware that the cabin is on septic and the septic system cannot handle volume of use beyond the listed occupancy. We cannot accept requests for parties, wedding receptions, or any other gatherings of people for this reason.
There is also no refuse collection and the county closed the nearby dump - most residents carry their trash out with them when they go "down the hill". We are not a hotel, it can be days between guest departure and when housekeeping cleans. Trash left behind invites insects and bad smells if indoors, animals tear it apart if left outdoors. Thus, trash needs to be taken with you when you leave, which is not uncommon for cabin rentals. We have a powered trash compactor and provide bags, it does an amazing job of minimizing the size of your trash!

Relaxing cabin with scenic lake view, game room, and many nearby hiking options. We stayed in spring, with a family group of kids, parents, and grandparents. Multiple entertainment options make this a great place for family groups. The cabin is far enough away from the main road that it is very peaceful. Birds were plentiful, with sightings of turkey vultures, woodpeckers, and scrub jays visible from the large windows of the living room or deck. It’s great for birdwatching, and the option to sit inside or outside is nice.The game room and the collection of board games is great for unwinding. We got unlucky with a broken air hocky table during our stay. Fortunately, there were plenty of other gaming options. We stayed Monday through Friday, so the owners were not available to drive out to make a repair, but they were very responsive by text.For those that prefer home-cooked meals, the kitchen is well-furnished with appliances, cookware, and dishware. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to cook family meals. In addition to bringing food, plan on bringing your own Ziploc bags, napkins, coffee filters or k-cups, etc. The general store at Lake Cuyamaca is not consistently stocked, and the store shelves were over half empty when we went looking for more coffee filters to supplement the few that the housekeeper had set out in the coffee/tea nook. Also, the air can be very dry in the mountains, so plan on sealing your coffee / k-cups well to keep them fresh.

Everything was clean and the location was great. The view from the main room was unreal, with the lake and mountains right there. It was a little different having to put our own sheets on the beds, but I understand their reasoning. It ensures that the sheets are clean because they were folded up on the bed and you put them on yourself. The game room was great! My kids spent hours down there whenever we were not out exploring. The owners left detailed notes/signs and explanations throughout the house, so It was easy to know what to do and what not to do, or why something was a certain way. It was a great experience, and we hope to come stay there again in the future.

Family of 7, grandparents celebrating Valentines and Birthday. Lori was great, answered each and every questions with grace and thoroughness. House is very well stocked with everything needed for a great time. Playroom downstairs has adult and kiddos toys. Kitchen also, even necessities - sugar, coffee, hot choc, S&P. Just bring clothing and food; everything is too hand. I did bring my kettle and teabags as I cannot survive without! View is marvelous. We will definitely return.
