Great little get away spot

Owners have done a great job at making this cool little funky cabin an enjoyable place to get away. It was clean and comfortable. Great water pressure, claw foot tub, decent AC, patio deck with a bbq and fire pit. We had access to a washer/ dryer as well. Plenty of clean linens and new mattresses (although the main bedrooms bed was a little soft for my liking) I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again..money well spent.

Very nice stay

This little house is adorable! All of the decor are antiques or vintage. The surroundings are very relaxing. Definitely not accessible for someone who may be older or have trouble getting around. It was quite the chore getting our belongings inside, but other than that, it was very nice. Perfect distance from downtown Julian.

Weekend Getaway

I had a wonderful, quiet stay. The cabin was very comfortable and true to the listing. I felt welcomed and relaxed and throughly enjoy my time at the cabin. I am looking forward to returning for another getaway and bringing my family with me.

Sweet little time capsule!

Very quaint! Beds are comfortable, hot water quick!! Very interesting decor! The fun entertainment of listening to vintage vinyl was nice! Bring some CDs or vinyl ( or buy some at the antique stores nearby) the town of Julian has lots of great food and shops! Our Host was very helpful! Enjoyed our stay!!

Quaint and clean cabin

Really enjoyed our stay, particularly in this pandemic season. The cabin was clean and well-organized and our host, John, really kept in touch with us. We liked it so much we will be returning in January!

A quaint, cozy, and quiet getaway

This little cabin is filled with antiques that remind you of simpler times. It is a great place to retreat from the busyness of life while still being close to Julian and nice hiking trails. Communication with the hosts was great! Check-in and check-out were seamless. The cabin was clean and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Would recommend!

Beautiful Getaway! Warm, fuzzy Nostalgia!

Just wonderful! Cute little cabin which provided much needed rest and relaxation. Peaceful, quiet and quick drive to town. Legit ice box and antiques reminded me of my grandmother like a warm hug. Thank you for sharing your special place with us!

Lovely cabin in the woods!

My only regret is not being able to stay more than one night. The decor was so warm, inviting, and interesting and the beds were comfy. When we first pulled up into the driveway, we were underwhelmed but as soon as we stepped foot in the door we were taken back in time. We highly recommend and will be returning in the future!

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

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.

A Julian Wedding Weekend

We stayed here for four nights. A good friend of ours was getting married in Julian. The main street/downtown area is really cool. It had a bunch of knick knack shops. We tried the Julian Pie Company. It was amazing. The Purple Owl has great food and delicious coffee. John was a great host. He was able to help us add a night because I had forgotten to extend our stay.

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!

Exactly as advertised

Owner was extremely communicative, reached out several times during our stay to make sure we were OK and to offer local recommendations. Cabin is exactly like the pics: very clean, quaint and cozy. Great experience would definitely rent again.

Relax, relax, relax

This cabin is extremely charming and inviting. The beds and bedding were both excellent. The deck and grounds are everything that I expected. John, the owner, was very friendly and prompt. The property is a 5min drive to Jullian's main street. All the furniture and amenities are great. However, the main seating area is a bit cramped and the couch/chair are not something you are going to look forward to hanging out in. These could be upgraded. 4.5/5 We had a wonderful time and will book again.

Relaxing stay

What a relaxing stay at this vintage cabin. It’s small but cozy. The beds are comfortable and warm. The best was having coffee on the patio deck in the morning! It’s a short drive to town and nice hiking spots. Great stay!
