About this house rental

In 2023/2024, we completed a list of property improvements for this beautiful and charming house:
(1) added mini-split A/C for the upstairs bedroom, living room, and dining/kitchen,
(2) replaced the roof so it is now Energy Star efficient,
(3) added solar panels and backup battery to reduce the property's carbon footprint,
(4) repaired the aging cedar wood siding and improved installation,
(5) completed a plumbing inspection and upgrades,
(5) replaced three sets of balcony doors.


The solar panel and backup batteries will make things easier during SDG&E's "Safety Power Shutoff." This means our guests will be more comfortable in this beautiful house (i.e., warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.) We continue to plant hundreds of daffodils, tall bearded irises, and seeding wildflowers inside and outside the property each year.

We continue to be concerned about your health and safety. Therefore, we disinfect and deep clean our property after each customer visit. You will find a supply of cleaning and disinfecting items under each sink area (i.e., kitchen, upstairs bathroom, and downstairs bathroom). Liquid hand soap is also available at each of these locations.

The most often customer comment is that the property pictures do not do justice to the beauty and scale of this property. We will let you be the judge on this.

This property is best suited for families with children and pets, especially when you and your family are interested in accessing Julian with modern conveniences and comfort. Please note that we are provisioning this property for 6 -persons maximum, and exceptions will require the property owner's approval. For example, a recent guest asked us to support an 18-person family party, which we declined. We do not support large parties of any kind. We strive to have a calm, beautiful, and well-maintained property that can delight all of us.

If you are looking for a property to celebrate elderly parents (i.e., Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc.), this may not be your property. We have a 14-step stair connecting the upstairs and downstairs. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all located upstairs. Alternatively, a gradual garden side walkway leads to the kitchen backdoor to access the upstairs, but this may not work for your elderly parents. In addition, this property is not wheelchair accessible.

Located only 5 minutes (approximately 2 miles) from downtown Julian, Bison Lodge provides couples and families a quiet, romantic getaway. The property was completely remodeled a few years back, with the notion of opening the living spaces to allow for quiet contemplation. The Bison Lodge offers two master-suite bedrooms and a third bedroom located downstairs. These three bedrooms provide privacy and charm. Each room is uniquely decorated with a specific theme and ambiance and tastefully appointed for comfort. In addition, the separately fenced gardens are ideal for children, four-legged kids (with a dog fee), outdoor dining, bird watching, and stargazing.

We love having morning coffee on the balcony and backyard, looking at the distant hills, sky, flowers, and birds in the gardens.

We just finished our stay at this beautiful cabin and I wish we were able to stay longer. The grounds are very well maintained. Firewood was included which was great because it snowed while we were there. The house was nice a toasty upstairs and the two downstairs rooms are equipped with Dyson heaters that work very well. The beds were very comfortable and my son enjoyed the futon couch in the master bedroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with really great quality cookware. I loved the gardens filled with dafodils this time of year and there are separate fenced sections of the yard which is nice too. The house is beautiful just beautiful! Thank you Barbera for answering all of our questions and for being a fantastic property manager!
