Spacious For Our Large Family

We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday. We enjoyed the amount of dinning seating and the amount of bedrooms that made our stay comfortable. The cleanliness, clutter and lack of organization of the home and the areas that surrounded the usable out door space was disappointing and didn’t reflect the photos. It did not feel like a vacation rental, it felt like I was in someone’s personal space. No effort was made to sweep or clean the decks or entrance of the home. Considering how much we paid, we felt this would have been an obvious welcoming touch. The host was very communicative and friendly. They provided wood for our very cold weekend since the central heating was not permitted.

Family Wedding

My daughter was getting married in Julian and venue was close by, location was great!! Check in seamless! The towels that were available had a mildewing smell to them, in one of the pullouts in the bedroom there were underwear shoved on the side so not sure if it had been cleaned so was not used by us, in one of the closet’s empty beer cans were stuffed in blankets so did not use, it was perceived as uncleaned, for what we payed for. The kitchen is comfortable and could accommodate us all.

Summer Stay

Overall we had a good stay. The weather was brutal and without air conditioning it made it uncomfortable at times. We enjoyed the afternoons and being able to go into town. The property is nice, just needs a little TLC.

Great areas to hang, beautiful part of CA

Overall we had a wonderful stay! The house has wonderful common areas and the porch is amazing. Some of the “beds” aren’t listed exactly as described on the listing. Some of the beds weren’t exactly what I’d describe as beds. But there’s so many rooms and couches it all worked out. The host was extremely responsive and helpful.
