Julian Farmhouse/Fenced 2 acres with spa, right outside Julian. Pet Friendly!

Pamper yourself with a warm, cozy, upscale farmhouse-like retreat only an hour from San Diego. The Farmhouse is a comfortable, welcoming home on two, gated and fully-fenced acres. This three bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home has been newly renovated for your next vacation.

The Farmhouse was the featured setting for the movie, The Dinner Guest. It has also been the scene of many special family vacations. We welcome you, your friends and family to come visit and create your own special memories. Enjoy an espresso or glass of wine while relaxing in a rocking chair or glider on the spacious, covered, wraparound front porch. Also on the veranda is a bistro table for two, which is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the crisp morning air or listen to the wildlife in the evenings. Relax in front of the wood-burning, stone fireplace in the living room or settle in by the lovely cherry fireplace in the master bedroom retreat.

Your well-behaved dogs will love exploring the property, while the children can busy themselves finding and counting our “hidden chickens” or playing a rousing game of pool, or darts. The large cook's kitchen is fully equipped with your every need in mind. Enjoy dining under the stars in the outdoor pavilion or a romantic meal in the dining room with its own cozy fireplace. After dinner, relax in the infrared sauna or soak in the deluxe 8 person spa, then enjoy Smores in front of a crackling fire in the patio’s chiminea.

There are three bedrooms in The Farmhouse, all featuring premium mattresses with waterproof, allergy-free covers, premium sheets and ceiling fans. The Garden Room is decorated with bright florals and features a comfortable rocking chair with lamp perfect for resting or reading. Beautiful treetop views can be seen from the very comfy queen bed. This room has a large walk in closet and luggage rack for your use. The Stars & Stripes Room is decorated Americana-style and has an antique, hand-carved, pineapple poster queen pillow-top bed. You will enjoy sitting in the over-stuffed blue chair, wrapped up in a blanket enjoying your coffee or resting for a bit. Views of the tree tops outside can be enjoyed while relaxing in the cozy queen bed. This room has a walk-in closet and luggage rack to ease unpacking and settling in. These two rooms are adjacent to a large, sunny bathroom with a soaking tub that is perfect for bubble baths.

The warm, romantic master bedroom has a king-size bed, large bay windows, a seating area with a cherry fireplace, custom balloon valances with blackout shades and a dressing area and bathroom. There is a large, 32” HD flat-screen TV that can be viewed from the bed or sitting area. You will love waking up to the warmth of this room and enjoying a slow start to your day in front of the fireplace. The large, two person shower is the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. There is a large closet with soft, fluffy bathrobes for you to enjoy while you are our guest.

Downstairs you’ll find the dining room with its large bay windows, French lace curtains, a fireplace, and beautiful chandelier. The centerpiece is a large farm table, perfect for your family gathering. Adjacent sits an antique pine sideboard filled with all you need to create a special time together.

The breakfast room, adjacent to the kitchen, offers a second dinning table that can expand to seat 8. The adjoining living room features a large stone, wood-burning fireplace, a 54” flatscreen HDTV, fire stick with cable tv and a DVD player. In the hall, guests will find a closet containing a large DVD library, along with books, puzzles and games for the whole family. Not to be left out, there are extra leashes and toys for “Fido,” as well.

We are please to announce, The Roost, a large barn converted to your perfect family hangout. We have a wood burning fireplace (ready January 2023) poker table and chips, shuffle board and corn hole. This huge, charming space has ample seating to sit back and enjoy a move on our large screen TV while the snow falls all around. If you look closely, you will find some hidden features all around The Roost.

High-speed internet and cable are throughout the home to enhance your experience.
Meandering about the property, one is able to enjoy the beauty and privacy of the tree-filled grounds shaded by over 100 oak trees and numerous manzanita. Winter can bring deep snow, Spring ushers in the daffodils, Summer has fragrant, climbing roses and wisteria twining around the front porch, and Fall, with its beautiful colors, is a visual delight. Scrub Jays are constant visitors, especially when the feeder is filled with their favorite treat, peanuts in the shell. Adirondack chairs, on a ledge-rock raised patio, are a comfortable place to stargaze by the fire pit. Both an outdoor gas grill and charcoal BBQ are ready to fire up for your next cookout. Heaven!

The Farmhouse is a peaceful and private retreat, perfect for your next getaway, located only two minutes from the quaint town of Julian. Escape from it all and have the time of your life. We invite you to experience all that The Julian Farmhouse has to offer.

Relaxing Retreat
The Farmhouse is truly a very special place! We really enjoyed all the special touches the owners have put into this adorable home and all the wonderful extras that were part of it. We enjoyed using the sauna, the jacuzzi, playing darts, horseshoes and exploring the 2 acres of land along with our dog. The Farmhouse is truly a very unique and special place and we are so happy we were able to stay in this wonderful, scenic and well kept home. Thank you to the owners for sharing your special One of a Kind beautiful home! We had a wonderful time! Highly recommend!!!

Our Favorite House in Julian
This is our second time staying here and it won't be that last. The property is beautiful and has something for everyone. It is a very short drive into "downtown" Julian, but we were happy to spend most of our time at the house.

Perfect family getaway
This was the perfect house for our family trip to Julian for a wedding. The amenities were spot on, from the hot tub and hammock for relaxing, to the pool table, shuffleboard table, and horseshoes for fun. The hosts thought of everything, right down to the tray of snacks and wonderful-smelling soaps on each bed. The beds were super comfy, including the pullout sofa air bed, and the neighborhood was quiet. I only wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Fun Getaway
This is a hidden gem! My family enjoyed all of the wonderful amenities that they had at the place. Big property (dogs loved). They had beautiful kitchen appliances as well-which was really nice, because it made a difference in cooking. The house was decorated for the holidays, and the place felt very homey. We would definitely love to come back.

Loved the Farmhouse!
Its absolutely adorable. It had all the possible amenities you could ask for and more! We were there for a wedding with 4 adults and 2 kids. We loved the master suite. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud! There was so much to do but we were only there for 3 nights. The grandkids loved the tire and kiddy swings under the big tree. The kitchen was well equipped with any type of cooking you may do. If we are in the area again, we would definitely stay here.

Beyond Unbelievable!!!!!
We cannot say enough about The Farmhouse. We stay here every year before Christmas. It has become a holiday tradition that the entire family looks forward to all year. The house is extremely inviting and very comfortable. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating. They go above and beyond to ensure that their guests are comfortable and thoroughly enjoy their stay. The house is very tastefully done up with antiques and makes you feel right at home in the small mountain community. The lot is large, wooded, and private. We cannot say enough about the location, the house, the hosts. The Farmhouse is truly one in a million!!!!!!!!!

Wow! This house was more incredible than we anticipated. It was spacious enough for all of us to be comfy but cozy enough that we felt really enjoyed each other's company. The owners have put so much thought into every last touch and detail. We felt thought of and cared for, not like we were just another guest. There were even goodies for our kids to choose from out of at treasure chest. We will be returning to our new slice of heaven often. Thank you Josh and Courtney, our stay was truly nothing short of magical.

Best dog-friendly rental in Julian
Out of all the dog-friendly rental properties available in Julian, this one is by far the best. Our dogs were absolutely thrilled with the fenced-in 2 acres, especially with all the little interesting features to explore. We had a nice quiet family birthday for my husband, and it was exactly what he wanted - peaceful and relaxing. The dogs were so thoroughly worn out that they actually slept through the nights we stayed there, which is rare when we're in a new, "strange" place. I really just can't say enough, just thank you for having such a nice space for everyone to enjoy! <3

Truly Exceptional!
The Julian Farmhouse is definitely one of the BEST properties we have ever rented. We’ve been VRBOers for many years, including internationally, and the Farmhouse is one of our favorites. The charming house and the peaceful, beautiful property is fantastic! Everything for your comfort and enjoyment has been thought of and supplied. And EVERYTHING (plumbing, mechanical, electrical, electronics) is in perfect working order, right down to fresh batteries in the candles and flashlights. The beds and bedding are so comfy and inviting, the kitchen is incredibly well stocked, and the amenities list goes on and on. Hot tub is clean, fresh and, well…hot! I can’t begin to adequately describe this house and it’s surrounding acreage. We, our grown children and their dogs truly love it. We will be back again and again.

Rooster Tag
My son loved all the roosters around the yard! He would run around every day and say, there's one, there's one....sooooo fun. The place was quiet and perfect to enjoy a little peace and quiet. My only complaints were the spa was broken down and didn't have enough water and the yard was hilly and not easy to walk on(lots of sinking into the ground which made my son fall quite often). Other than that, the beds were comfortable, the porch was awesome, the pool table was fun, the view was spectacular and Julian was CLOSE!!!! A few too many rules about clean-up, especially since you have to pay a cleaning fee, but whatever....we enjoyed the stay!
