Downtown Julian is within walking distance. So if you're here at high season, people are parking further away than where you will be staying. And if you want to get in and out of town in a flash - grab a free mountain bike! WHEN INQUIRING/BOOKING THE HOME, PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE BOOKING FOR THE CORRECT NUMBER OF GUESTS IN YOUR PARTY. EACH GUEST BEYOND 1 GUEST IS $25/GUEST/DAY +TAX/FEES. THIS INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL "ADULT" FOR EACH PET. THE AIRBNB "PET" SELECTION HAS NO BEARING ON YOUR RESERVATION. Late check-out fees may apply if you are ANYWHERE on premises after 11AM. Please respect the hosts' and crew's schedule (which is extremely strict). Crew can/will enter the premises anytime after check-out. In the mountains/forests, critters are simply a fact of life. Just a warning for those wary of bugs; even though we have the house professionally cleaned after each guest, and we use humane methods of mitigating pests where possible, we simply can't avoid the occasional critter(s) from breaking in. This includes critters related pool/spa amenities at the property. The existence of bugs in/around pool/spa amenities are 100% out of the host's control. To be clear: bug/critter sightings inside or outside the home are possible. If this is a problem for you, BOOK ELSEWHERE. NO REFUNDS. Southern California is inhabited by abundant predatory wildlife including but not limited to: coyotes, bears, snakes, raptors, rodents, arachnids, and scorpions. Although we have had exactly zero issues with any of the above, you must be very vigilant with your loved ones to keep everyone safe from local wildlife. We are on a fragile septic system here in the mountains. PLEASE DO NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TOILET PAPER DOWN THE TOILET! This includes but is not limited to baby wipes (or wipes of any kind), feminine hygiene products, facial tissue, paper towels, hair, etc. These things WILL clog the system and you will not be able to use the shower, sinks or toilets. For photo shoots/films and anything else similar, please contact us first for permission. Please note that the spa is located in a rainy/forested/dusty area. Even though the spa is cleaned/balanced/vacuumed immediately prior to your arrival, there is a 100% chance that there will be dust/sand/dirt in it. Please also note that the H₂O from the local Julian aquifer is high in Sulfates. This can cause the water to not be crystal clear and/or can cause excess surface bubbles if the jets/oxygenation are turned on. If either of these uncontrollable facts make you even slightly uncomfortable, please do not plan on using the spa. REITERATIVE TRAVEL ADVISORY. There is a FORESEEN LIKELIHOOD of snow events, rain events, wind events, and outage events resulting in road closures. Especially November-March. YOU ARE ADVISED TO GET TRAVELERS INSURANCE. We uphold your agreed upon cancellation policies to the letter. NO REFUNDS. Θ The EV charging option is NOT a level-2 charger. It is a Level-1 EV GFCI outlet (110V | 15A). This means bring your own charging cable with an American 110V plug at the ready. Many EV Charger manufacturers (Tesla, ChargePoint, Bosch, Enel-x's Juicebox, and more) state that the EV Chargers should not be installed onto circuits with GFCI protection. So either make sure your Charger is compatible (ours for our Tesla is) or do not plan on using the outdoor charging outlet/option.
