About this property

A Secluded Cabin on an Acre of Woods-Julian Mountain Haven

Mountain Haven offers a romantic ambiance for couples and is a secure setting for wholesome family fun. It provides a secluded quiet setting in a forest that is not "right next to another house." You are on an acre of land that borders the park.

As you sit on the beautiful deck, with your morning coffee, surrounded by trees and a view of the ridge top, deer, blue jays, and turkeys will welcome you. Afterward, you may want to walk on the numerous trails in the nature park, which is conveniently next-door.

The house has a spacious living room, with open beam ceilings, leading out to the upper deck.

The cozy fireplace in the living room is the perfect place to snuggle on chilly nights. Amenities include 55" cable TV, blue-tooth connectivity for your personal devices, and an array of DVDs for all ages.

You’ll find a fully-stocked kitchen, including a microwave, refrigerator, oven, utensils, plates and pots and pans, that will serve all your cooking needs, from a romantic meal for two or a family gathering. Besides a new Keurig, there is also a traditional coffee pot. For your enjoyment, complimentary pods are provided.

Both of the bedrooms have newer queen beds with quality sheets. Also, there is a queen blow-up bed and a foldout one-person sofa in the living room. There are two bathrooms; one contains a shower.

Besides the upper deck, there is also a bottom deck with a large picnic table.

Peaceful and perfect.
This was our second stay at Mountain Haven for the Thanksgiving holiday. There were 4 adults and a 4 year old who stayed at the house.The home is very clean and spacious and nicely decorated. Huge living room with a fireplace. Nice kitchen equipped with just about everything you would need, even spices. The property is very large and has many seating areas scattered around. Besides an upper deck, there are 3 different patios on 2 levels. We bundled up and enjoyed the quiet in the crip mountain air. Deer walked through the yard twice that we caught sight of. I never get tired of see them. It was within walking distance to family, so it was the perfect choice for our family to be together.

Thank you again Teresa for letting us spend the weekend at Mountain Haven. We felt right at home, and absolutely loved being surrounded by so many trees! And your place is so close to wonderful hiking trails. We are already talking about a return visit!

Another relaxing weekend
This was our second stay at Mountain Haven. Once again, we were welcomed with ease, thrilled with the cabin and felt the relaxation and rejuvenation in the Julian area. Teresa is a wonderful host and has high standards and service as a host. We plan on being back soon as the lift to our spirits from this magical place is a gift. Thank you for another lovely weekend at your place Teresa!

We've stayed at Teresa's home several times now - and again enjoyed our stay immensely. We stayed over the New Year holiday weekend, and could not have found a better place to ring in the new year. We look forward to our next stay! : )
