Photos and Description of the Julian vacation farmhouse rental
Main Cottage, Guest Cottage, Rustic Barn(6 bedrooms, 3 full baths, 2 half baths

Sacred Mountain Retreat in Julian is an enchanting and unique property that offers many exclusive amenities. There is no other like it!

As you drive onto the property, a gate swings open to an enchanting country retreat with all of the luxuries needed for a relaxing stay. With three separate structures, everyone will have the privacy they desire. With all of the open gathering areas, the property also brings you together to share time.

The Main Cottage offers a beautiful, Viking kitchen with farmhouse sink, a breakfast area and dining area with farm table and benches. The Main Cottage has three bedrooms; a large master bedroom with a jacuzzi tub & full bathroom, a generous, sunny bedroom with 2 full beds and a comfy guest bedroom with queen bed and sliding doors to the secret garden. There is a lovley full bathroom in the hallway that is meant for sharing. All rooms have flat screen TV's and Egyptian Cotton bedding for drifting off to sleep. The living room is highlighted by the wood burning pot-bellied stove, rocking chair and sofa bed that sleeps 2.

Just outside of the Main Cottage is a spectacular deck with a bbq, gorgeous dining table & chairs with sweeping views of the valley floor & Vulcan Mountain. If you look left you get a glimpse of the stunning pool and jacuzzi just a hop, skip and a jump down the left staircase; look to the right and you take in a view of the gorgeous Rustic Barn, pergola, dollhouse, garden and Vulcan Mountain that is reached by the stairs on the right.

Next to the Main House is the cozy two story cottage that offers two separate units for privacy; one at ground level that sleeps 2 people in a Cal King bed and one upstairs that sleeps 2 people also with a Cal King bed; both have their own private half baths, sitting areas & flat screen tv's.

As you walk down the steps from the Main Cottage, a vine-draped pergola appears with a family dining table fit for a feast. Take in the stunning views, watch families of wild turkeys and bunnies as you sit and relax over-looking the lush green lawn. As you stroll down the hill to the Old Rustic Barn, you take in the expanse of the property that is within walking distance of town yet at the same time far away from it all.

The Rustic Barn is an absolute gem! The entire ground floor has an expansive deck that runs the length of the barn, perfect for wildlife watching and star gazing. The Barn has a Viking kitchen, large dining area perfect for celebrations, group meals and making memories, a stunning full bathroom, wood burning fireplace, living room/tv area with flat screen tv and sofa bed that sleeps 2. The barn doors at both ends of the barn slide open to let the outside in and make the bottom floor a playground for all to enjoy. The wall of french doors opens up so you can enjoy the view, watch kids play or just let the fresh mountain air in. Venture up the spiral staircase to a cozy sitting area, King & Queens beds in a space that says, 'Come on up and stay for awhile!'

The pool and spa are perfect for a summer day or frosty winter night. With Smith & Hawken teak lounge chairs and tables, baskets full of thick, colorful pool towels, water toys, a pool bathroom and kitchen area as well as an outside pool shower, you will be invited to play or relax...or maybe both as you enjoy the towering oak trees and birds that visit in abundance.

The property is child friendly but NOT child proof and is also pet friendly. There is wi-fi so if you choose to, you can stay connected.

Sacred Mountain Retreat is truly charming and enchanting and the memories you make here will be with you for a lifetime!

Just spent the weekend here with a group of friends and am already aching to go back. Its the strangest thing, after you park and walk through the gates, you feel like you are much further away. Like in another state, Colorado? Montana? Clearly a lot of care has been put into the property to make it luxurious, unique and extremely comfortable. While the main house is not an amazing building itself (more like a friend's nice home than a resort), some important remodeling and so many small touches build up to a great vacation home (very clean, great linens, yummy soaps and candles, quality kitchen supplies, very comfortable furnishings and oh-my-goodness-the-beds!) Same for the guest house. But then there is the barn house - wow! What a magical place. All I can say is an evening on that deck, under the stars, is heavenly. The pool is beautiful. The property is gorgeous. And the views are to die for. This is great location for a family reunion, an executive team retreat, or even a long weekend celebration with friends. I can't wait to go back. I dont think the photos here do it justice! BTW - I hear you can walk into old Julian for some apple pie, and although it seems close enough, I can't imagine leaving the property.

Just What Our Family Needed

5 of 5
Submitted: February 23, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
There are certain getaways a family will always remember. For our family this will be one of them. Spending three nights last weekend at Sacred Mountain Retreat was a deeply relaxing time of being fully in the presence of each other, playing in the snow, and enjoying the amenities of the property-like relaxing in the built-in Jacuzzi, playing as a family on the large grassy fields, and warming up next to the wood burning stove, to name a few.

The property’s three living spaces provided ample accommodations for our family of eighteen. The buildings were so unique that many of us rotated where we slept each night to experience each of these thoughtfully furnished locations.
Another cool feature of the property was our ability to all eat together in the same dining area. In several spots there were large farmhouse tables that were perfect for our family.
The property was exactly as described in the listing.
From our initial contact to our checking out, the owners were beyond gracious, making sure that our stay exceeded expectation. Since Sacred Mountain Retreat was gorgeous in the winter, we hope to return in the summer and see how beautiful it is then as well.

Owner's Response: So pleased to hear that you had a "deeply relaxing" time at Sacred Mountain Retreat. The property has a knack of doing that...making you slow down and relax. What a great idea that you slept in different places during your stay! A wonderful way to get the feeling of each "house" as they all offer something different and unique. We would be happy to have you come back and enjoy the warmer months. Spring, Summer and Fall are just beyond belief!

Incredible Overall Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: January 22, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
This was a perfect location for our Leadership Retreat. One of the coolest things was how the property itself started the weekend out so happy. Everyone walked around on a tour and just kept saying how amazing everything was.

The location is great, the scenery is great, and the house, guest house, and barn are perfect. The pictures do not do it justice, you need to go and see it for yourself!

It really was nice to see that every detail was thought of as they designed the whole place, from the 1200 thread count sheets to the commercial grade refrigerator to the flat screen tv's in most of the bedrooms.

Also, working with the owners was a great experience. They treated us like we were friends! I will definitely be coming back. I hope you enjoy your next trip here.

Ideal Peaceful Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: January 12, 2013 Stayed: October 2012
This place is absolutely as advertised! I brought my family here for a quiet weekend getaway and we were amazed by the property and the attention to detail. It is the perfect blend of a rustic, mountain vacation with all the modern ameneties needed to truly relax. You could literally spend the entire time on the property as there is so much to enjoy, however I recommend popping into town or enjoying some of the nearby trails as the surrounding area is so beautiful. The property couldn't be situated in a better location as it's close to town, however it feels a world away from everything when you step outside at night to sneak a peak at the stars, which appear to be within arms reach. We lucked out during our stay as we happened to be there for the Orionid Meteor Shower which put on quite the show. Another highlight was waking up and watching the wild turkeys make their way through the property. Again, it doesn't feel as though you are an hour and a half away from San Diego. We would definitely come back and fully intend to.

Owner's Response: How wonderful that you were at Sacred Mountain Retreat for the Orionid Meteor Shower! You must have had quite the show!

A New Tradition

5 of 5
Submitted: January 7, 2013 Stayed: November 2012
Bliss. From the minute my friend and I walked through the gate, we knew we were in for the kind of memory that keeps you company during long stretches stuck in LA, braving the smog and traffic. In fact, there were several times over the weekend when I was so obviously in the middle of what was going to be an amazing memory that I had to convince myself not to get nostalgic for what was still happening right in front of me. This isn't a memory yet, it's actually happening, it really is this nice, try to hold on.

Now I'm back in LA, alas, working to meet the next in an endless cycle of deadlines and demands. Now, the weekend actually is a memory, keeping me company at my desk. Like all memories, I'll carry it with me -- walking through the door to hear the laughter of my friends who'd already arrived, waking up to see the ranch for the first time in the full light of day, walking into town to purchase the toothbrush I thought I forgot ... I'll carry them all, in the hope that the memories eventually grow into something more. Maybe a tradition -- something to both look back on and look forward to. A home away from home. - Written by T.S.

Owner's Response: Our hearts sing knowing that you had such a wonderful time at Sacred Mountain Retreat. We look forward to having you back next year...and the year after that...and the year after that...and so on and so on...like the Prell commercial! Happy New Year!
