Whether your plans are to spend the weekend shopping in town, trying out all of the wonderful restaurants and wineries in the area, taking in the breathtaking views and enjoying the local attractions, or just parking yourself in front of the warm fireplace for the week after a blanket of snow covers the ground, Julian Pines is a perfect place to accomplish them all in comfort and solitude.
Located right in town and less than two blocks away from the shops and cafes, Julian Pines is the place to be when wanting to get away from the big city and enjoy the quiet of the country, but still having access within walking distance of the bustle of the little 1800s mining town that has been frozen in time. And if it’s history you’re looking for, the horse and carriage rides through the town and beautiful countryside along with guided tours through the 140 year old gold mine as well as the old-time melodrama and gunslinger shows in town provide a glimpse into the historic past of the town and surrounding area.
The cabin sleeps six between the queen-sized bed in the bedroom, a large sofa bed in the living room which is perfect when you want to doze to a glowing fire throughout the night, and a full-sized roll-away bed for extra guests. The fully equipped kitchen
means that all you add is the food and a good cook to whip up meals for you or your family and the secluded and shaded front porch is perfect for those times when you just want to sit by and watch the leaves fall from the many trees on the property, or your children playing in the spacious and fenced yard, all overseen by an on-site caretaker that is there to help if you need assistance. Pet-friendly and reasonably-priced, this cottage is just right for the family who wants the coziness and seclusion of a country cabin while enjoying the closeness of one of the most popular tourist towns in California.
Known previously as The McGilvray House and operating as a rental cabin for over twenty years, Julian Pines is 
now under new ownership and is going through an update that will offer much more when staying here. Between the newer furniture, updated kitchen and free Internet and cable TV, Julian Pines provides the quiet getaway that you’re looking for, while being close enough to the activity of the town below to decide at a moment’s notice whether to sleep in and savor the cozy warmth of the cabin, or head down the hill to grab a slice of pie from the world famous bakeries before dinner.
So come visit our quaint cabin on the hill with a view and start enjoying this rustic getaway that will have you returning year after year to find your ultimate source of solitude and adventure within the mountains of San Diego County.
