When we arrived, the cabin reminded us of the lake cabins our grandparents had and provided such great memories. It is full, and I mean full, of items related to the past. That’s why it is named “The Time Traveler's” cabin. John, the host, was very responsive to any questions I had.

Cozy cabin in the woods
Cute, cozy cabin in the woods in Julian. We (myself, husband, and teen daughter) went for a two night stay. Perfect for 3 people. Really enjoyed sitting out on the large deck, peaceful. My daughter enjoyed having her own room with a large TV and the hammock. Lots of antique knick knacks. Close to town but far enough away to enjoy nature.

Canin with Charm
Loved the cabin with all its 1950s charm. Great location too. A mile from main street Julian and not far from lake cuyamaca. John the owner had plenty of information on the cabin and what to do in julian and surrounding area. Would love to come back again soon. Luis

This little cabin definitely takes you back in time! My husband completely fell in love with it and we really enjoyed our time! John was a great host & very kind. We will definitely be going back because it feels like home away from home. Thank you John & Family!😊

Lovely Julian Getaway
John’s cabin in the woods was adorable and just what I needed for a weekend getaway! The cabin was tucked away nicely and surrounded by trees so you could hear the birds. It actually rained on my first day but I didn’t mind at all because it was so cozy. When I wanted to get out the drive into Julian was a quick 5 minutes which was nice. I would definitely recommend to stay here and don’t forget to read and sign the guest book!
