"A Living Canvas" A home with views you will not forget!

Escape to the picturesque town of Julian and experience the tranquillity of our secluded mountain retreat at Lake Cuyamaca. Nestled in the heart of nature, this vacation rental offers a perfect blend of charm and modern comfort.

Our home exudes a top-of-the-mountain ambience with warm wood interiors, a large fireplace, and comfortable furnishings. Whether enjoying a cup of hot cocoa by the fire or stargazing on the deck, the cabin provides a welcoming and intimate atmosphere.

Enjoy the Jacuzzi spa while watching the birds or stars! The views from the spa are remarkable, too!

Wake up to breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, valleys & ocean. The property's elevated location offers a stunning panorama that changes with the seasons, from fall foliage to amazing sunsets.

Only a short drive from the historic town of Julian, you have easy access to its charming shops & delicious apple pies. Yet, you'll feel a world away in your private mountain retreat.

Explore nearby hiking trails, visit Lake Cuyamaca for fishing or boating, and discover the area's natural wonders.

Please note for larger groups, we charge per guest, so please enter the correct number of guests when you book. There is a charge to add more guests after booking. The pet fee is per pet per stay. Only Dogs allowed.
