You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A Beautiful And Serene Lake View House

Escape the big city and step into this tranquil retreat. This quiet, relaxing home is surrounded by tall oaks with a view of Lake Cuyamaca. A short walk will have you at the edge of the lake, free to enjoy hiking, fishing, and boat rentals. Just an eight mile drive will have you in historic downtown Julian and its famous apple pie!

This extremely spacious 1900 Square feet home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms (each with a shower and bath tub). The master bedroom and bath take up the entire second floor, with a giant window that faces the lake. The other two private bedrooms are on the first floor along with an additional bathroom. There is a large playroom that is perfect for children, and features a futon for added sleeping capacity. The large open combination living room, dining room, and kitchen feature a wood burning stove that lends cozy heat and ambiance. Newly remodeled kitchen as of November 2023. You'll also love the spacious deck equipped with a propane grill for easy cooking, and nestled among a row of pine and oak trees.

Wildlife is common on the property, with the most frequent visitors being a multitude of colorful birds, squirrels, dear, and even wild turkeys. Bird feeders on the property encourage frequent visits from the local feathered friends.

Bring your warm clothes in the winter months and be ready for a walk through peaceful snow cover trails around the lake.

The home is equipped with WiFi as well as a tv/dvd with streaming capabilities. We apologize this is not a pet friendly home.

Hiking and Apple Pie

We had a relaxing and fun stay in this home. It's conveniently located to Julian, where we had great BBQ and apple pies, and to many sections of the PCT for hiking. The hike had everything we needed and more 😊.

Lake Cuyamaca Getaway

The house was amazing. Great for families with kids. Had everything you could need.

The house was very impressive. Bigger than expected.. I recommend it highly. Really only one issue. The upstairs never really got warm. We didn’t get very lucky with the weather. But still had a great time.

Break by the Lake

We had a fantastic time at this cozy little cabin. Our group of six adults had enough room to sleep, play and relax. The balcony was not in service but this place was so great it didn’t impact our stay. Many of loved that there was carpet instead of all hardwood. Great location with soft beds which were a great comfort after a day of boating on the lake. Minor complaint was not enough towels and no dish towels to be found or hard to find. Overall, highly recommend and we will be back. Thank you so much!

What a great place! I don't think the pictures do it justice. The house is very spacious! Our family had such a great time. About 10 minutes to Julian. Very close/easy walk to Lake Cuyamaca, views from the dining room and bedroom. Everything was very easy...reservations, confirmations, instructions on how to get in, etc. We didn't need it, but there is a nice playroom for kids, games and DVD's. We just picked this place blindly, based on needs and reviews and we were very impressed and would recommend and return to this rental.

Great cabin!

The house is very big, the kitchen dining and living room area makes it perfect to hangout with the family. The deck is nice too and there are plenty of toys and a swing that were great to entertain our kids. Thank you Barbara!

Great if you don’t mind being off the grid

We had a wonderful stay, however an important note, there is no WIFI on the property and the TV only takes DVDs, so come prepared to be off the grid and enjoy the quiet. Overall the beds and bathrooms were very clean and well kept. The kitchen had a few dirty dishes in the cabinets and a portion of the fridge froze one section of our the food we brought. The other disappointing item was we tried to get in for an early check-in, Zora said to simply call that morning and she would let us know but when we left her a voicemail and text she did not return our messages. Other than that we had a great time. We would return if WIFI was installed.

Great location. We'ld gladly return.

Our family loved the size of the house, nice open space. Location near the lake was great. Parking was not the most conducive for a regular car but we managed.

Ahhhh..... so peaceful!

We stayed in this home in February 2017. Even though the weather was rainy it didn't dampen our spirits thanks to this amazing home! We enjoyed the beautiful lake view and hiking around the area. It was so nice to stop our hectic lives and soak in the warm fire as we made a puzzle and played cards. The home was much larger than expected and we loved the open feeling it gave us. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We will definitely be back!
