What a find! Reese's place was so well organized, spic and span clean and a great location. You are entering a new home with every luxury comfort at your fingertips. A perfectly decorated home, that is well stocked and ready for you to enjoy. Being pet friendly, the gym and the Tesla charger were an added benefit. If you are looking for the best stay in Julian, you have found the right spot. As a high maintenance, very picky individual, I would gladly give this place 10 stars.

Award-Winning AFrame Chalet |Cedar HotTub + Views

RachelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

My family and I had such a wonderful time staying here during memorable day weekend. There was something for all of us to do. We fished at lake every day, a big plus for my husband as it was just a few short minutes away from the front door, to the quality time we had inside the house playing pool, to the top tier coffee machine that allowed me cozy mornings on the patio listening to the birds with my husband, to the smores we made outside at the fire pit while gazing at the stars. The house is so beautiful and inviting, curated with such an eye for detail and warmth. We truly cannot thank you enough for sharing your home with us and we cannot wait to visit again soon one day.

Unique Mountain Gem: Sauna ~ Hot Tub ~ Scenic View

MalikRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Neil and Bonnie's retreat cottage was truly an amazing experience! From the moment we made the reservation to the time we left we felt well taken care of . Word can't describe the true beauty of this place it is a must see and stay! Very peaceful and relaxing experience. Just a 2 mile drive and you're in downtown Julian, where we had a good hearty breakfast at the Julian Cafe and Bakery. Volcan Retreat is everything stated the the description but more. Clean, quiet, and private a perfect place for a romantic getaway but also a place for the family. We will definitely be staying here again this I believe is even more beautiful in the snow.

Peaceful Cabin/Mnt. Views/King Bed/5 min. to town

JamieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a beautiful cabin and stay in Julian. The home has everything you need with clear information and local recommendations. We had a warmer weekend and although no central air, the open windows and plenty of fans cooled everything down, especially at night. My in laws loved the home and used the TV, we didn’t cook but the kitchen seemed to have everyone one would need! We did have coffee every morning and enjoyed the view. We would stay here again if we ever come back to Julian.

Casa Blanca

Michelle ElaineRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We really enjoyed our stay at "Casa Blanca"! Marina was a great host. The view from the deck/living room and Master was just beautiful with a wonderful breeze! Everything was just as listed, high speed internet, clean and appliances in excellent working order. Lots of very hot water too! Very private and peaceful and we felt very relaxed and at home. Master bed was comfortable and the home is very close to the lake, tackle shop, boat launch and the Lake's local restaurant, as well as, a short drive into town where "Mom's Apple Pie" was a must along with a little "touristy" shopping! We were lucky to have encountered a gaggle of wild turkey visiting the front driveway into the upper hill while we were here too. Thank you Marina!
