Artists Loft Bed and DIY Breakfast

This place is magical! The cabin was built by Nan and Chuck with magnificent recycled beams, and decorated tastefully. I feel instantly grounded and at home the minute I walked in. The surrounding is an oasis of peace and tranquility with a lovely garden and overlooking a vista of green mountains. The kitchen is well equipped. The best of all: Nan and Chuck are warm and exceptional people. I cherish every moment there. Will revisit it for sure.

All of the previous reviews hit it on the head. I'm only here to deeply reaffirm them!! I was looking for a beautiful space to escape for a quick weekend...and pop the question to my girlfriend! Naturally - it took quite some searching to find a place close enough to LA (our base) for a quick weekend getaway - but special enough for the moment. I knew I loved Julian - but, I'd always camped around the area - never stayed IN Julian itself - and I was a bit afraid that during a holiday weekend it would be the wrong fit. Too crowded and touristy for our likes. We like to be remote. And quiet. And simple. And then I found the Big Cat Cabin website. Its close enough to Julian to enjoy the quiet mountain town - but remote enough that you can get away from the crowds of the main drag. I w

As a couple, we loved our 3 night stay at the historic Big Cat Cabin. It was quiet, private, and comfortable. There are lots of separate and lovely areas within and without the cabin to linger in and relax - the writer's corner, the window seat and sofa next to the stone fireplace, the sunny dining area, the porch, and the lounge chairs outside the front door. We enjoyed stargazing, birdwatching, and doing some long hikes in the local area. The cabin is surrounded by pines and oaks with expansive views out to the Cuyamaca and Laguna mountains. There were mule deer including a yearling that periodically rested quietly just outside the cabin. We would highly recommend this cabin. Additionally, we would highly recommend Strawberry Hill cabin where we stayed 2 years ago. It's smaller and newer

Out of all the places in the world we have stayed this has to be one of our favourites for its shear peace and tranquility and the care and attention put in to it by Chuck and Nan.||||We spent two wonderful nights in March in Strawberry Hill Cabin. We were greeted on arrival by Nan who showed us where everything was and told us all we needed to know about the area. The cabin is beautifully thought out down to the finest detail and felt instantly homely. It was a joy to escape television and wifi and actually get back to enjoying each others company of an evening. Sitting on the sofa, with a glass of wine, in front of the log burner, was a wonderful way to spend our evenings.||||The kitchen is well equipped and all the essential condiments were provided. ||||The location is beautiful.

My wife, 12-year-old child and I spent a wonderful weekend at the Artists’ Loft Cabin in Julian. The cabin is spacious yet cozy. Full of all those small details that make such a big difference down to the two pairs of binoculars to help you enjoy bird-watching. Wooden floor, cozy furniture, wood-oven and astounding views. The couple that owns the cabin is fabulous! Caring and warm. They make you feel welcomed. Highly recommend.
