Great stay in Julian

Stay was wonderful! It was like spending the weekend in a dollhouse. Height warning for the bathrooms, if you are taller. The room with the attached bath is tight quarters and the only one with a shower. The other bathroom is spacious. Ultimately, it did not effect how we felt about the stay for the short weekend.

Historic property full of charm

We absolutely loved every part of our stay at the Julian cottage. The cottage has been lovingly restored and has every luxury needed without sacrificing its' historic charm. It is only one street away from downtown, so the location is conveniently within walking distance from all of the shops and restaurants. Not only would we recommend a stay at this cottage, we will be planning a return stay.

A lovely home with vintage charm

This home was a delight for me and my mother. We visited Julian for her 86th birthday. It is updated and comfortable yet the historic charm flowed through the home. The guest book gave plenty of ideas where to visit in this quaint little town. We enjoyed our stay so much we are already planning our return visit.

Charming period home with modern touches

My spouse and I enjoyed our stay in this historic cottage. It was comfortable and well appointed. Perfect location to walk to Julian's main street and respite from the heat of Anza Borrego. We will stay here again when visiting the area.
