Great place!

We thorougly enjoyed our stay at Jason's place. There was plenty of space, it was quiet and just a very short drive (2 mins) into Julian. There is a brewery across the street but note that it closes at 7pm - we missed out on our first night because we didn't realise it closed so early! We had delicious pies at Mom's and excellent Mexican food at Quecho's in town. Jason was a great communicator, responding very quickly to any queries we had. Thank you!

This place is amazing!!! Low-stress communication with the host, easy keyless entry. It is a cozy home, but yet with enough room to relax and spread out. The view of the pond right behind the house was very pleasant and a nice bonus to the area. By day, there is birdsong of all kinds, and by night, a symphony of frogs chirping will lull you to sleep! They got progressively louder from twilight until well past midnight. Hilarious and enchanting! Really quaint, magical, property. NO other rooms or loud businesses around so the solitude and double-paned windows were heavenly. Everything you could possibly think of was available - games, cards, fully stocked kitchenwares, coffee and tea service, binoculars, batteries, high-model telescope, bicycles, cold packs, extra comforters and pillows, a fun vintage replica radio/phonograph, etc. Even cooler is the small tavern, Nickel Beer, tacross the street! We met the guy that makes the beer, Ray, and the manager, Shawn! Friendly helpful guys. The list of craft beers was impressive. The few suggestions I have are easily manageable - need to clear away grassy area that covers up the address box. It was not lighted so we got a little lost turning onto the wrong dirt road. I will definitely be back. The slightly higher price is worth the beauty, charm, and serenity the house and location have to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Jason Kardos

I live in San Diego County with my wife and daughter. This accommodation has been traditionally rented out month to month but has been recently remodeled and I am opening it up to people who would like to use for vacations and seasonal use.

Why they chose this property

This property is located on top of a commercial building used by the locals and is at the end of town that has less traffic than Main Street Julian, but feels like it is in it's own private hide away and is close to town if you want to walk.

What makes this property unique

This accommodation is located on the second story of the regional strip mall that has the Julian Newspaper, Chiropractor, Massage Theripist, Real Estate Office, & local fire & emergency center. Located across the street from the Nickel Beer Co. Situated on over 3 acres of property with an open field in the back that can be utilized for pets and horses.
