This place is so beautiful and the mountain views unparalleled! I enjoyed eating meals on the back porch looking at the mountains, watching sunsets from the hot tub and reading on the swing! Thanks for letting me stay, and I’ll be back if I return to the area!

Perfect mountain getaway close to town

The property and views were absolutely beautiful and the location was perfect! Very close to town, but far enough away from the crowds and traffic. The home was cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for our party of 6.

Julian Backcountry Getaway

This mountain top country farmhouse is as wonderful as it sounds. The house is bright and spacious with wonderful views of the countryside. It is surrounded by acres of nature to gaze upon and explore. It is conveniently located close to Julian, Wynola and William Heise County Park. Great vacation spot!

Exquisite Hill Top Retreat

Everyone in our family loved this property (we had a 3 and 5 year old, 19 year old, my husband and my mom in our group). It is very secluded and beautiful, and the home is spacious, perfect for families. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi, and the king bed was comfortable. Those sunset views from the property are very special. I wish we can make this an annual family vacation, i would definitely stay here again.

This house and property are wonderful! Everything described in the property description was exactly as represented. The home is well appointed, has everything I think any guest would want or need. The skylights and the large windows (especially in the master suite) are just gorgeous! I would love to spend a week there - and hopefully can do so!

Great location, comfortable home

This VRBO was great for my niece and I and her two young children (2 and 4 years old). There was a good variety of sleeping options, a big open living room, and a nice sun room. The grounds were perfect for the kids. Lots of areas to explore and we saw turkeys, deer, and even heard owls at night. We were close enough to Julian to a trip into town for dinner and also close enough to Wm Heise park for a visit to the playground and nature trail. The owners were responsive in their communications. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The outside could have used a little clean-up but it is spring and everything is growing quickly so probably hard to keep up. Overall a wonderful stay for our family.

Wedding in Julien

We (my husband, 2 siblings and my mother) were in Julien for a family wedding at a nearby venue. The house was very comfortable and the owners added grab bars in the master shower and water closet for my 90 year old mother which was very helpful. It was lovely setting and the house was very comfortable and homey.

Norma S.

This is a nice home, however it could use a good cleaning and the outdoor area had broken pots, dead branches in walkways, broken furniture, dead plants and a bbq that barely worked. The lights outside come on during daylight hours and turn off when it's dark and would be useful. I don't know who is supposed to be maintaining this property but it was such a disappointment.

Beautiful property with everything you need and more!

The pictures don't tell half of how beautiful this place is. Its super spacious, kitchen has every gadget you will need, two really big bathrooms, and really spacious and beautiful rooms. The house surroundings are super private and there is so much outdoor space to walk, to have family picnics and to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We've stayed at several houses in Julian and this is by far the best one we've stayed in. Also, Dave and Nancee are very gracious hosts and were very attentive throughout our stay. We will definitely return.

Wedding Weekend

Perfect place for our group attending a wedding nearby. The property is quiet and secluded, but still close to town. Access via codes made check-in a breeze. The views are incredible and photos do not do it justice. The house was extremely comfortable and we all wished we could have stayed longer. It comfortably slept 6 adults and was well stocked with everything we needed; linens, towels, kitchen supplies, TP/paper goods, firewood, etc. The hot tub was a huge bonus, especially during the late season snow storm that rolled through one day. I highly recommend staying here for any trip to Julian.

Great place-just bring eye covers if you are not an early riser!

We LOVED this place. Great everything, jacuzzi, beautiful kitchen. The only caveat is this-the master bedroom has wrap around windows and sky lights and by 6:00 a.m. it is BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT.!!!! I read the reviews and brought up an eye sleeping mask and it worked great. I also think the master would benefit if there was a T.V. In there. Otherwise-will stay again!!!! Outdoor jacuzzi was awesone!!!

Julian Visit

Nice place. Comfy beds. Peaceful surroundings and felt safe. Loved all the natural light in every room! My only suggestion would be the option of curtain/blinds in windows for places like the bathroom and bedroom so one can choose to close them for feeling of privacy especially at night. Other than that, the place was perfect and we’d love to come back. We may just have to have back up plan for covering at very least bathroom windows.

Tranquil

Came with the family to experience our new telescope. The house has a clear view of the sky. When we were here in December we knew we would be back. I need a king size bed so this was ideal. Nothing lacking. Enjoyed the sounds of doves, donkey, cows, rooster, owl, rustling leaves., etc. TV offerings were useful for streaming. ALL GOOD HERE.
