Spacious For Our Large Family
We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday. We enjoyed the amount of dinning seating and the amount of bedrooms that made our stay comfortable. The cleanliness, clutter and lack of organization of the home and the areas that surrounded the usable out door space was disappointing and didn’t reflect the photos. It did not feel like a vacation rental, it felt like I was in someone’s personal space. No effort was made to sweep or clean the decks or entrance of the home. Considering how much we paid, we felt this would have been an obvious welcoming touch. The host was very communicative and friendly. They provided wood for our very cold weekend since the central heating was not permitted.

Family Wedding
My daughter was getting married in Julian and venue was close by, location was great!! Check in seamless! The towels that were available had a mildewing smell to them, in one of the pullouts in the bedroom there were underwear shoved on the side so not sure if it had been cleaned so was not used by us, in one of the closet’s empty beer cans were stuffed in blankets so did not use, it was perceived as uncleaned, for what we payed for. The kitchen is comfortable and could accommodate us all.

Overall we had a good stay. The weather was brutal and without air conditioning it made it uncomfortable at times. We enjoyed the afternoons and being able to go into town. The property is nice, just needs a little TLC.

Great areas to hang, beautiful part of CA
Overall we had a wonderful stay! The house has wonderful common areas and the porch is amazing. Some of the “beds” aren’t listed exactly as described on the listing. Some of the beds weren’t exactly what I’d describe as beds. But there’s so many rooms and couches it all worked out. The host was extremely responsive and helpful.

The ranch home getaway of our dreams! We stayed here and hosted out of town family and friends for our wedding, and it was just so lovely.

Nice Place & Big, Good location
We were 18 guests including kids. Property is quite big and you have plenty of rooms to roam around. Kids did enjoy with livestock, outdoor games. This place is pretty nice if you have big group, you can do BBQ, play outdoor games, take a trail within property and star gazing However, some modifications are required in the property such as fixing centralized A/C, dishwasher and lock in bathrooms. There were no locks in the bathroom which was little inconvenient. Otherwise, I would love to stay again in the winter :)

Wonderful family reunion location
Our family had a fantastic time at this beautiful luxury mountain farm location in Julian. The host was wonderful and responsive, and the large home and abundant seating and eating areas made meals and activities together so much fun. We did happen to be there during a heat wave and with no central air and air conditioning room units in only 3 bedrooms made it hot at times (all bedrooms had fans), but the idyllic setting, huge, sprawling home and farm animals to delight the children made it all worthwhile. The ovens were a bit temperamental and need to be fixed, but the kitchen facilities and extra cooking tools were fantastic. The refrigerator and kitchen really are professional and HUGE and we were able to stock the kitchen with food for our large group for our entire stay without needing to go to the grocery store for extra runs. Our family has magical memories from our stay that we'll always treasure. Thank you Krys for making it possible for an incredible family reunion!

Unique getaway location
Excellent property in a great location with some unexpected surprises. Well maintained and the amenities were as advertised. The property was bigger than I was anticipating and felt very secluded and peaceful but was still close enough to Julian for easy access. Made for a great boys weekend

Wonderful place to stay for a big family
The house is very pretty and spacious. We love the kitchen and dining area. There were five bedrooms each one with their own bathroom. There was also a rest room available near the kitchen. It is great to have two big living areas where the family can gather and bond together. We enjoyed our brief two night stay there. I wish we had time to stay longer to fully enjoy our stay. We were there for a family wedding. It was a very convenient place to stay since Pine Hill Lodge which was the wedding venue is only 4 miles away. The rest of the wedding party stayed 15 minutes to 30 minutes farther away from the wedding venue. If we ever plan a family reunion in the future, we will consider to stay here again , if available.

Wonderful farm life experience with the kids!
We had three families stay (6 adults and 4 young children) at Krys' Ranch House and it was everything we hoped for and more. The kids were absolutely mesmerized by all the animals: feeding the chickens, grabbing eggs every morning, watching the pigs and goats roam. It was great fun. The house is warm and cozy, providing the perfect respite for a friend getaway. The house is less than 10 minutes from downtown Julian where we enjoyed the Eagle Mine, breweries, great food and lots of pie. Thank you, Kris, for giving us a place to make memories for our kids that they'll never forget!

Great Rental
We had a really lovely holiday weekend staying at this house. It’s such a spacious and comfortable house. We were 3 families and each had their own space to call their own. We loved feeding the pigs and goats and collecting eggs in the morning. Some of the stuff in the kitchen (dishes, silverware, glasses, etc.) wasn’t very clean, but nothing we couldn’t wipe down quickly. We also loved the very clean BBQ area and it’s just a few minutes drive to get to downtown Julian. The other thing that we’ll remember forever — we turned off all the lights in the house at night and went out on the porch and just marveled at the incredible night sky. Beautiful stay and beautiful house.
