We stayed at Big Cat Cabin in December and loved every moment!. On arrival as we parked the car a family of deer were peacefully watching us. Later wild turkeys flocked to the trees near the cabin for the night. We could hear them flapping their wings to fly straight up to a branch. I had no idea turkeys did... More

We just returned from the Strawberry Hill Cabin, everything was prefect right from the start. Music playing when you enter the cabin, great selection of cd's to enjoy, loaf of fresh local Julian bread for morning breakfast. The refrigerator is stocked with eggs, cream, butter, jam and there are fresh coffee beans with grinder! Perfect in every way. The kitchen... More

I found the The Artist's Loft to be everything I had hoped it would be, and there were still so many wonderful little things that added even more. The owners truly have thought of everything. I was surprised at every turn from the supplied board games and puzzles to the hand-made soap in the shower. Literally everything that I could... More

Artist loft is a wonderful place for a romantic getaway. I was looking for a mountain retreat that was not decorated in "grandma" style furniture (victorian). This was it. Owners were very nice. Everything you need is in the house. The screened in porch along the back wall of the house is wonderful. Just leave all the doors open to... More

This property is heaven on earth. Want a perfect get away location? Stop looking, this is it! I have stayed at many locations in and around the area and we will keep coming back here. The previous reviews about the perfectionist's decor,amenities and wildlife abounds is right on. There is a reason this place rates excellent across the board. Great... More

We stayed in the Strawberry Hill Cabin. You can't go wrong. Just fabulous in the extreme. We would stay at Strawberry Hill, Big Cat, or Artist's Loft anytime, and recommend it to anyone. Except someone who wants to play loud raucous rock music. This is not the place for you. All the reviews have it just right. Beautiful and special,... More

The perfect place for a quiet escape. Chuck and Nan were perfect hosts and made sure we were comfortable before leaving us alone. We stayed at the Cabin on Strawberry Hill. The fireplace kept us very toasty on the cool nights, plus added a wonderful ambiance. The kitchenette was just the right size. The fridge came stocked with farm fresh... More

I desperately needed a vacation. I got to the point of trying to open my front door with the car alarm and change the channel with my cell phone. I chose The Artist's Loft based primarily on their website. It's not fancy, but they had nice quotes towards the bottom of the home page. When in doubt, I usually choose... More

We stayed in the Cabin at Stawberry Hill for two nights while in the Julian area for the Oriflamme 50k trail race. It was lovely. The cabin is very private, peaceful, comfortable and spacious. It is beautifully built from natural materials, has a high ceiling, open floor plan and wonderful, whimsical furnishings. From the front porch, we enjoyed expansive views... More
