You’ll love our cabin because for a mountain home, it has a refreshing amount of space for all to spread out and relax without feeling crowded. It has the perfect mix of vintage charm with modern amenities and the game room entertains kids and adults alike. The space NOTE as of 2024 this is now a THREE bedroom, see below for details. This is the home you picture when you decide to spend time away in the country! It is located in the beautiful wooded neighborhood of Pine Hills, about 4 miles from the historic town of Julian at an elevation of approximately 4,000 feet. Once you enter, you find a delightful mix of the old west and country chic. The open well-lit living room draws you in to a comfortable and rich area with couches and chairs circling the propane fireplace. The dining room just calls out for the family to pull up a chair and sit together over a home cooked country meal. The open floor plan allows guests to dabble in the kitchen while visiting with others in the living room and dining area. There is even a bar ready for you to pull up and sit for a while. The kitchen is a delightful step back in time, while boasting all new appliances. The sink is an amazing old washtub and the cabinets mix a touch of old and new. The appliances are top of the line stainless steel which include a large refrigerator, a dishwasher and electric oven/stove. There are THREE large bedrooms and two full bathrooms plus a half bathroom. The master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom has a king sized bed and an attached bunk room with a pocket door for privacy. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed and a large en-suite bathroom. The final bedroom has charming twin beds, perfect for kids or those who enjoy their own sleeping space. There is also a pull out queen couch in the family room. If you want a little time off to yourself, you can tear yourself away to the lovely sitting room with more chairs and a couch where you can curl up with your favorite book, work on puzzles, or watch a movie on the television. Although this already is enough for any fabulous getaway, throw in the huge game room in the back of the home. There is a full size ping pong table, plenty of sitting room and comfortable furniture for bringing the entire group together for real family time. Everyone can sit and watch the ping pong game, visit with each other, curl up in a chair or on a couch, and just enjoy. The home also has a large pass through window directly from the kitchen, so while everyone visits, snacks, treats and tasty delights can be passed through to all the guests. Note** The game room is not heated/cooled so in cool/hot temperature it will not be very pleasant. As the sun sets you will want to step outside and look up at the night sky…there is nothing like the Julian sky at night. Without the distracting glow of the lights in the city, the sky is blanketed with so many stars that feel as if they are close enough to reach out and touch. Deer wander around the property, as do wild turkeys and a host of other wildlife. You will also notice the apple and pear trees, we invite you to eat some while you are there. As guests, you will simply melt into the surroundings and find all your stress and worry floats away. A calm and quiet will surround you and you will never want to leave the mountain.
