Negative- 1. The cleaning crew did not do their job properly, specifically the bathtub, it wasn't cleaned at all, hair everywhere, I found Ajax and washed it before we could take showers. 2. Right after we checked in, we saw colonies of ants inside the house, near the entrance. I have pictures of them, hundreds.... We immediately notified the owner. He sent someone to spray Raid and put out ant traps, not what was expected from our vacation. 3. The air conditioning unit in the bedroom was absolutely super loud, we couldn't sleep, even with our 33db noise reducing ear plugs... it was very hot inside, 92f. we waited till 3:30am, turned it off then went to bed. When complained to the owner, he said it's not loud. My family was not able to have much sleep the 2 nights we stayed there.

Although slightly out of the center of town, it is easily walkable, and it is very close to a brewery.

Apple & Gold Mine Town A-Frame - me and my husband chose this property because of its proximity to the San Diego 100 mile ultra run with its start/finish at Lake Cuyamaca Recreation and Park District, Anza Borrego Desert State Park, and the heart of Julian, CA. The property, with its rural setting exceeded our expectations - spacious with all the comforts of home.

This place was very clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. It was off the main path, but not too far from everything. Perfect place for a quiet little getaway.

Cabin was right above a salon so I got a haircut and my wife got a manicure. The unit is right on a lake which you can see from the balcony. The unit is well furnished and comfortable. The host was super responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend!

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.

Loved my stay here. Place was exactly as advertised. Perfect space and the host was very communicative. Loved the nearby wineries and the proximity to Anza Borrego park.

This is our 4th stay...we love everything about it. It is a clean, cozy, beautiful get away. Tucked away by a pond, and perfect for our family of 3. Thanks to the property owner Jadon for being so accommodating, friendly and professional!
